On the afternoon of June 8, the Vietnamese team had its third training session in Kuala Lumpur to prepare for the match against host Malaysia in the second match of Group F of the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup on June 10.

Speaking before the training session, midfielder Chau Ngoc Quang shared about the Vietnamese team's preparations for the important match with Malaysia.

Evaluating the Malaysian team, especially the naturalized players, Chau Ngoc Quang showed respect but also showed no hesitation.

He said: "Coach Kim Sang Sik and the whole team have evaluated all the naturalized Malaysian players. I myself determined that these are all good players, so I must always be ready."

Talking about his new teammate Cao Pendant Quang Vinh, Chau Ngoc Quang gave positive compliments to the French-Vietnamese player.

"Actually, Cao Quang Vinh is a new player. However, through the process of training and living together, I realized that Quang Vinh is a very cheerful and sociable person and has integrated very well with the whole team," the 29-year-old midfielder added.

Sharing about the team's mentality before entering the match with Malaysia, Chau Ngoc Quang affirmed: "The whole team has been ready since the first day of training. So up to now, everyone has a very comfortable mentality, and always has experience to be ready for the upcoming match."

When asked about having to play at Bukit Jalil Stadium with a capacity of 90,000 spectators, Chau Ngoc Quang admitted: "Honestly, when playing at such a large capacity stadium, while I am used to playing at smaller stadiums, that is also pressure. But it will not affect the whole team."
