Live press conference Vietnam vs Singapore: Coach Kim Sang-sik is confident

• Pre-press conference information

  Similar to the match against the Philippines on artificial turf, the Vietnamese team played cautiously and prioritized solidity. Singapore had 67% ball possession but the home team did not create any dangerous attacks in the first half.

  Fortunately, the Vietnamese team then scored 2 goals in just 5 minutes of extra time. In the 5th minute of extra time, a Singapore defender used his hand to block the ball in the penalty area. This was the situation where Xuan Son created a lot of pressure, forcing the opponent to make a mistake.

  

  Coach Kim Sang-sik did a good job at the AFF Cup 2024.

  Tien Linh calmly kicked the penalty to open the score. Before the end of the match, from Hoang Duc's corner kick, Xuan Son himself rushed in and tapped the ball into the net to seal a 2-0 victory for Vietnam. The number of shots on goal for the Vietnamese team was not more than the opponent. However, Nguyen Xuan Son encountered many difficulties when being closely marked. The naturalized striker of Brazilian origin showed poor adaptability on the unstable pitch when he often made mistakes in handling the ball.

  In the second leg of the semi-final, the Singapore team welcomed the return of midfielder Nakamura - who played a very important role in the game. The Japanese-born player received enough penalty cards and was absent in the first leg. Nakamura's appearance will bring many difficulties to the Vietnam team.

  To turn the game around, Singapore needs to win by at least 2 goals to send the match into extra time. If they want to end the match quickly, they need to beat Vietnam by at least 3 goals.
