Midfielder Hoang Duc: 'The match against Malaysia is very important for the Vietnamese national team'

Midfielder Nguyen Hoang Duc stated that the match against Malaysia on March 31 is crucial for the Vietnamese national team. Moreover, the inclusion of Hoang Hen and Xuan Son contributes to a more unified team style.

"Yesterday's match was an occasion where the whole team gathered after a long time, featuring new faces like Xuan Son and Hoang Hen.

Furthermore, players such as Van Hau and Dinh Trong have returned to the Vietnamese national team after many years. It has been a long time since the teammates reunited. The whole team is training diligently and becoming more united in preparation for the upcoming match against Malaysia."

In yesterday's match, I only played 45 minutes, but I believe Hen is a very high-quality player who has proven his expertise in the Vietnamese football environment over the past five years. I hope Hen will create more impact and score more goals for the Vietnamese national team.

Although we are not at the same club, we have played together and have a strong connection both on and off the field. Through this training camp, practicing and living together has helped us understand each better. Hen communicates very well, so this aspect is not a problem.

The upcoming match against Malaysia is very important for Duc and all the teammates, especially since we are playing at home. I hope the whole team will enter the match with the highest spirit to deliver an exciting game for the fans and secure a victory.

Thien Truong Stadium always has a large number of very enthusiastic supporters. I hope that on March 31, the fans will continue to keep the passion alive to cheer for the national team and boost the morale of the entire squad," Hoang Duc answered in an interview before the Vietnamese team's morning training session today at the VFF Youth Training Center.

The group of players who started in the 3-0 win over Bangladesh last night had light training, mainly jogging to relax. The group of players who did not play trained with normal intensity. Van Khang was in the second group but could not fully complete the training plan due to an emerging injury. This afternoon, Coach Kim Sang Sik gave the players a rest from training.

The Vietnamese national team has two more training sessions at the VFF Youth Training Center before moving to Ninh Binh to practice and familiarize themselves with Thien Truong Stadium ahead of the match against the Malaysian national team.
