Sharing at the training session of the Vietnamese women's team this afternoon (September 27), striker Nguyen Thi Thuy Hang said that she will try to focus and be determined when competing, when wearing the number 9 shirt of her senior Huynh Nhu. "I feel very lucky to be participating in the ASIAD for the second time, after the first time in 2018 in Indonesia. I also feel pressured when the coaching staff gave me the number 9 shirt of Huynh Nhu and played in the same position. However, this is also a motivation for me to follow her example and learn from her to improve," Thuy Hang said.

To prepare for tomorrow's decisive match, in this afternoon's training session (September 27), head coach Mai Duc Chung directly instructed his players right from the warm-up to get them in the best physical condition for the following exercises. The Japanese women's team is a strong opponent in Group D, ranked 8th in the world on the FIFA rankings and currently number 1 in Asia. Therefore, coach Mai Duc Chung had his players practice how to deploy tactics and coordinate in each specific situation.

Tomorrow morning, September 28, the whole team will have a professional meeting and analyze video footage of previous matches of the Japanese women's team to better understand their opponents, ready for the match at 3:00 p.m. (Vietnam time) at Wenzhou Olympic Stadium (Wenzhou, Zhejiang, China).

Talking about the goal of this tournament, the striker born in 1997 of Than Quang Ninh Club said: "My personal goal is to try to improve myself and show my full ability when the coaching staff trusts me and gives me the opportunity. To prepare for the tournament, I have also focused and tried to practice to be able to fulfill the requirements of the coaching staff. As a striker, I hope to be able to score goals, contributing to bringing the Vietnamese women's team deeper into the next round."

The Vietnamese women's team will certainly advance to the quarter-finals of the 19th Asian Games if they score against the Japanese women's team. However, the task of finding points against the team from the land of cherry blossoms has never been easy.
