Coach Park held a press conference before the Myanmar match

Vietnam team only drew 0-0 at Singapore in the fourth round, but still topped Group B with 7 points, holding the right to decide in the race for tickets to the semi-finals. Mr. Park's teachers and students are only eliminated if they lose by 6 goals - which is unlikely when they are playing at home, Myanmar's opponent is weak when they are soon eliminated with only one point after three matches.

The problem with the Vietnamese team is the calculation for the semi-finals. Kicking after Group A one day helps Park's teachers and students to choose an opponent. Thailand is at the top of the table with 7 points and will meet Cambodia - the third place team with one point less. Indonesia is second but has the most chances in the group when it also has 7 points and the goal difference is only one goal behind, only meeting the Philippines who were eliminated in the last round.

Coach Park also has to calculate the force to be able to give some key players a break. Team Vietnam has less than the opponent in the semi-finals one day off.

Vietnam team currently has the best force when no one is injured and Nguyen Van Toan returns from suspension. The head-to-head record is also in favor of the team when under the guidance of Coach Park, the Vietnamese teams won 3 and drew 2 in the last 5 times against Myanmar. The last time the two teams met, Vietnam drew Myanmar 0-0 when as a guest at Thuwunna Stadium, Yangon in the fourth round of the AFF Cup 2018.
