Having to wake up earlier than usual, the players all showed signs of fatigue.

In an interview with the media, captain Do Duy Manh said the whole team is confident even though the opponent Malaysia is strengthened by naturalized players. Manh and some teammates are familiar with the pressure of playing at Bukit Jalil Stadium. He said the Vietnamese team has studied the opponent and prepared carefully for the match.
