I am satisfied with both the score and the playing style of the Vietnamese women's team.

" I am very satisfied, not only in terms of the score but also the playing style and the way the whole team played. The players tried very hard. I want to praise the overall spirit of the whole team, " coach Mai Duc Chung shared.

The Vietnamese women's team faced India in the second match of the 2024 Olympic qualifiers. The loss to Uzbekistan made the Vietnamese players more determined to get 3 points.

Coach Mai Duc Chung and his players thanked fans after the match with India.

All three goals scored by the Vietnamese team had the same scenario: crosses and headers. The scorers were Huynh Nhu, Hai Linh, Hai Yen. Sandhiya Ranganathan scored the honorary goal for the Indian team.

" The Indian women's team has made progress. Before, we had not had the opportunity to meet in an official match but only in friendly matches. However, through this match, I saw that they had developed, but their coordination was still not good. Mainly, India still made long passes into the middle. It must be said that the Vietnamese women's team was alert to resolve many situations. Only once did we concede a goal ," commented coach Mai Duc Chung.

The Vietnamese team currently has 3 points, ranking third in Group C. The Japanese team is in first place with 6 points, while Uzbekistan is in second place with 3 points but has a better sub-index than Vietnam. In the final round, coach Mai Duc Chung and his team will face the team from the land of the rising sun.

" We will definitely have to prepare both mentally and physically. Through two matches, the Vietnamese women's team showed good physical strength when meeting Uzbekistan and India. We held the ball more, moved actively and had good endurance. I'm a bit sorry that the Lokomotiv pitch was not really good, so it affected the coordinated passes.

The Japanese team plays in a diverse way. The players are all uniform. The Vietnamese women's team must be prepared for all situations. I think the first thing is that we just play our best, " said coach Mai Duc Chung.

The match between Vietnam and Japan will take place at 5:00 p.m. on November 1.
