Vietnam announce their squad
It seems I'm more confident about Vietnam's chances than they are with their German coach being quoted as saying:
"Young players have proved their ability recently. There is no reason not to call them for the national squad. We should create opportunities for young players to participate in elite events and it is good for Vietnam football.”
“This is the first time Vietnam is hosting the final round of the AFC Asian Cup™. That’s an honour, but it is also a burden on the Vietnamese players.”
“We will try our best to prepare for this event. The three rivals of Vietnam are very strong. Japan , Qatar and UAE are better than Vietnam in all aspects so Vietnam doesn’t have many opportunities to enter the next round. However, a good style of playing which shows improvement can satisfy fans.”
Gee, thanks coach!
