Speaking to the media, striker Nguyen Dinh Bac said: “This is a very important match. I feel that the whole team is well prepared and in good spirits. We have carefully analyzed the playing style of U23 Indonesia. They are a strong opponent with many quality players. The whole team will play with the utmost determination and passion.”

Regarding the news that VAR may be applied in the final match, Dinh Bac said that this is a positive signal: "VAR will help the match be fairer for both teams, especially with the importance of the final. We will try our best to show our best performance to win," Dinh Bac emphasized.

When asked about the pressure from the home fans at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, Dinh Bac shared: “Many of us have played in the U19 tournament here, so we are not too surprised. The team spirit is very determined, ready to put aside all external factors to focus on the competition, bringing glory to the Fatherland.”

Dinh Bac also frankly admitted that finishing ability is the point that the whole team needs to improve: "We missed quite a few opportunities in the last matches, myself included. In the remaining two training sessions, the whole team will try to find the feeling of scoring goals to be ready for the final match."

The final match between U23 Vietnam and U23 Indonesia will take place at 8:00 p.m. on July 29 at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium. This is the third consecutive time U23 Vietnam has participated in the final match of the Southeast Asian U23 tournament, after winning the championship twice in 2022 and 2023.
