The goal is to try to score to help the women's team defend the SEA Games gold medal.
In the opening match, the Vietnamese women's team won 7-0 against Malaysia. In this match, Huynh Nhu did not play in the first half and her place was taken by her junior Nguyen Thi Truc Huong. The girl from Vietnam National Coal and Minerals was praised.
Although still a bit nervous because it was her first official appearance at the SEA Games, the 25-year-old girl played with great effort in the role of replacing her senior Huynh Nhu, joining Hai Yen and Bich Thuy to form a dangerous trident. She continuously moved to attract the opponent, exchanged positions with her teammates in attack, acted as a wall with quick passes sometimes in the middle, sometimes on the wings and created with quality crosses. All showed the versatility and sensitivity of this striker wearing the number 8 shirt.

Very confident before the training session on the morning of December 6, Truc Huong said: "Coach Mai Duc Chung trusted and gave me the opportunity to try my best. Because it was my first time playing at the SEA Games, I was very proud and eager to play to the best of my ability to contribute to the whole team. My task was to run to create space and create breakthroughs with quick penetrations to give Bich Thuy and Hai Yen more space to approach the goal. I was very happy that I played quite well in the first match, although I still have to try hard. Hopefully, as we go further, I will get into the rhythm better to do even better in the role assigned to me by the coaching staff."
In the last SEA Games of her career, Pham Hai Yen spoke from the heart.

Instead of Huynh Nhu's role, is there any pressure? Truc Huong said: "There is some pressure because Huynh Nhu is the leader, an important pillar for many years. No one can replace Nhu's position overnight. Therefore, I have to try harder. I also learn a lot from Nhu and with the support of other seniors, I have somewhat created a bond in the way I play with the whole team."

Evaluating the upcoming opponent, Truc Huong analyzed: "The Philippines has a larger physique than other opponents in Southeast Asia, so they will definitely use a lot of high balls. So the whole team must control the ball well, not leaving much space for them to exploit. The coach always gives us careful instructions, so our whole team will not be subjective but will have to concentrate to win. In addition to the common goal of defending the championship with the whole team, I also strive for my goal of trying to score at this SEA Games."

Defensive support to limit high balls
Also in the training session this morning, December 6, Tran Thi Hai Linh, the most prominent young face who contributed a goal in the devastating 7-0 victory over Malaysia, commented: "In the first match, the whole team played well. Although we knew that the team had won against Malaysia before, the whole team told each other to always focus from start to finish, not to be careless. I myself played in the midfield, my main task was to recover the ball and launch the attack with Van Su, I think I was quite good. But I also have to learn a lot from Ms. Thai Thi Thao to create my own momentum. I am happy to have scored a goal in the team's victory."

The 24-year-old girl from Hanoi emphasized that the upcoming match against the Philippines will be a crucial match. If we win or draw, the Vietnamese team's chances of advancing will be very high, so we need to be more determined. "In the role of central midfielder, I will try to support the defense to compete fiercely, limit fouls, and try to help my teammates neutralize the opponent's high balls. The lesson from the 1-2 loss at the previous SEA Games was also due to high balls. We will learn from our experience and try not to make the same mistake again."
