At 11 a.m., Coach Park Hang-seo answered questions about the personnel and tactics of the Vietnamese team to prepare for the Singapore match in the fourth round of Group B AFF Cup 2022.

Vietnam topped Group B thanks to defeating Laos 5-0 and Malaysia 3-0. The team will win tickets to the semi-finals one match early, if they continue to win three points when they face Singapore tomorrow December 30.

The Vietnamese team will not have the service of striker Nguyen Van Toan due to receiving two yellow cards in the match against Malaysia. However, Nguyen Quang Hai has completely recovered from his injury and can start kicking. The player on the staff of Pau FC was sent to the field by Coach Park in the second half of the Malaysia match to regain the feeling of the ball. He left a mark with a beautiful pass for Nguyen Hoang Duc to escape to set the score 3-0. In addition, the Vietnamese team has many options for the side kick position such as Nguyen Van Quyet, Pham Tuan Hai...

The Singapore - Vietnam match took place at Jalan Besar Stadium with a capacity of only 6,000 people. Vietnamese people living and working in Singapore buy tickets in large numbers, so in the stands, coach Park's teachers and students will receive even greater cheers than the home team. However, the difficulty for the team is to play on artificial grass, while in the past time, they have mainly practiced and played on natural grass. The players had to change shoes, wearing one with plastic nails suitable for this surface.

Singapore pursues a policy of using naturalized players and has won the AFF Cup four times in 1998, 2004, 2007 and 2012. However, this team has recently declined, after three consecutive eliminations from the group stage. It was only until the AFF Cup 2020 that they reached the semi-finals and lost to Indonesia.

Singapore started well at the AFF Cup 2022, having won two matches against Myanmar 3-2 and Laos 2-0.
