And this year. , U23 Vietnam is the host, I know that the Vietnamese people have high hopes for this gold medal. The players always try their best. As the head coach of U23 Vietnam, I know I have a responsibility for the mission. I am sometimes stressed with this goal. I want to thank the people of Vietnam, the party and relevant authorities. Finally, thank the players who fought hard and the coaching staff for their hard work. work hard for this success.”
After the 31st SEA Games conclude, Coach Park Hang-seo will stop leading U23. The Korean teacher will focus on the national team. In a few days, Mr. Park continues with his goals for the national team.

As planned, May 25th we will focus. On May 28, we will go to Ho Chi Minh City to prepare for the match against Afghanistan on June 1. At the end of this year I still have the duty to participate with the national team in the AFF Cup 2022. Last year’s tournament, we failed. That’s why the upcoming tournament means a lot to me and the students. We will strive to deliver the best performance,” said Mr. Park.
In the final round of U23 Asia, U23 Vietnam will reunite with U23 Thailand. When asked to predict the performance of the two teams at the upcoming reunion, Mr. Park candidly. “I don’t think I’m the right person to answer this question. As you all know, U23 Vietnam has a new coach, Mr. Gong (Coach Gong Oh-kyun). He is also a manager. The army is very good. Each coach has different tactics of operation and management. It is also impossible to know how we will play in the future. Young Vietnamese players have few opportunities to compete. Such a match will help Vietnam U23 grow. However, I believe that U23 Vietnam will have a good tournament in the U23 Asian Championship in Uzbekistan.”
The Korean military leader added: “As I said, every coach has a different philosophy. From the current perspective, I can’t offer any advice to help Mr. Gong Oh Kyun choose anyone. But from what angle. Then I will help him understand more about the culture and understanding of Vietnamese players. As for the pressure, I hope the fans and the media will ease the load, Mr. Gong will help integrate quickly and be successful with the ball. Vietnamese stone”.
Coach Park Hang-seo also said that having rival pairs like Vietnam and Thailand is good for Vietnamese football. He said: “I think there is always a strange rivalry, no matter which team, no matter which region. Not only Thailand but also Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Cambodia. Competitions like this are good for the region. It brings maturity to future teams.”
