Up to now, we have chance to the World Cup and won the SEA Games Gold medal once again. We are still determined to defend the championship in Southeast Asia. Each time there will be different difficulties, obviously this time we will have to have a fierce dispute with the Philippines, which is the subject of direct tickets to the World Cup. I will have a talk with the players to encourage the players to keep their achievements, not to rest on the victory”, head coach Mai Duc Chung said.
