Mr. Kim believes the match between U.23 Vietnam and Laos is very important.

Opening the press conference at 1 p.m. at Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok (Thailand), Coach Kim Sang-sik assessed that the match against U.23 Laos is very important for the goal of U.23 Vietnam passing the group stage. He said: "The opening match on December 3 will be very important for the U.23 Vietnam team.

Head coach of Laos U.23 Ha Hyeok-jun has helped the Laos team become much stronger. Therefore, tomorrow will be a very important match for our goal of passing the group stage. The whole team will focus on the match and look for the best result."

Tomorrow's match will be a competition between two teams that are not strangers to each other, as many members of U.23 Vietnam and U.23 Laos have faced each other in the national team jersey. U.23 Vietnam itself beat Laos 3-0 at the 2025 U.23 Southeast Asia tournament where we won the championship for the third consecutive time.

However, Mr. Kim was very cautious, highly appreciating what his fellow Korean, Mr. Ha Hyeok-jun, has done for the Lao national teams, with clear progress in recent tournaments.

The strategist born in 1976 said: "Laos and Vietnam have met many times at the national team level, where the Vietnamese team has won all the matches. But Mr. Ha (Coach Ha Hyeok-jun) has done very well in terms of tactics, management, organization... helping Lao football progress.

I have great respect for the U.23 Laos team. Tomorrow's match will not be easy at all. We have prepared well, are focused and are progressing step by step. I expect the next match will see both teams play well. U.23 Vietnam will try to achieve the goal in tomorrow's match."
