Coach Park: 'Hope Thailand won't play defense like the first round' 3
* Thailand – Vietnam: 7:30 p.m. Monday, January 16, on VnExpress.
Vietnam suffered a disadvantage when drawing 2-2 from the first leg.
`Many fans are worried because of the results of the first leg, and it is true that Vietnam is at a disadvantage. But the team came here to win and will make every effort to do that, giving gifts to the fans. Actually, we
Coach Park at a press conference at Thammasat Stadium this afternoon, January 15.
In the first leg, Vietnam opened the score in the 24th minute thanks to Tien Linh’s header.
The Vietnamese coach acknowledged the danger from Theerathon, considering this player wearing the number 3 shirt to be a key piece, leading Thailand’s playing style.
During the Thai team’s press conference an hour earlier, coach Mano Polking affirmed that he would choose an attacking style of play in the second leg of the AFF Cup 2022 final, despite the advantage from the first leg.
`I think tomorrow Mr. Polking doesn’t want to play in a draw. Playing at home, they probably don’t want to give Thai fans a draw and then win the championship thanks to the away goal rule,` he said.
Coach Park also expressed surprise because in the first leg, Thailand played defensively, with three center backs in a five-man defense, even though in previous matches, they played with a four-man defense.
Coach Park and the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) agreed not to renew the contract that expires at the end of this month.
