Head coach Park Hang-seo: “Players had tried their best. If had 11 players, the score could be 3-2”
Speaking in the press conference after the match, head coach Park Hang-seo remarked that the Vietnam team had an effort game. Losing 2 goals in the penalty spot is also a lack of tactics. Head coach Park Hang-seo argued that if the Vietnam team had 11 players, the score could be 3-2.
Head coach Park Hang-seo said that: “This match, even took the lead, but we still lost. It’s unlucky for us because we lost 2 goals in the penalty spot. After that, we had to play 10 against 11. Obviously, while missing a person, we had a disadvantage in tactics. The result cannot be changed but I think if we did not miss 1 player, the score would be 3-2”.
Even could not create a surprise on the away ground with a strong opponent who had joined the FIFA World Cup many times, head coach Park Hang-seo also appreciated the effort of players. He said that: “I think today my team did their best, 2 goals lost by penalty is a lack of tactics. We will continue to complete our plan. In the next match, we play against Australia at home, this is a stronger team than Saudi Arabia. But while playing in the home ground, we have to play with the highest spirit”.
After the match, head coach Park Hang-seo and the team backed to the hotel and had only a few hours to rest before moving to the airport and took a flight to Vietnam. The team will arrive at Hanoi Airport at 8:20 p.m on Sep 03.
Then, the team will come inside the bubble and prepare for the next match with Australia on Sep 7 in My Dinh Stadium.
