Japan is a very strong opponent, I think the whole team tried their best even though this result is not very satisfactory. We accept this score.

Although the result today was not as we expected, the whole team proved that there are times when we can play well. I hope the Vietnamese team continues to maintain their spirit and playing style to look forward to the next matches."

With a commendable match against Japan, Hung Dung and his teammates have more confidence when entering the key match against Indonesia in the second round of Group D.

"The match against Indonesia is very important. This is the key match of this group. The Iraqi team is also very strong and Indonesia will be the direct opponent of the Vietnamese team. And we believe that we will try to play the best match," Hung Dung affirmed.
