Laos coach lost to Vietnam after the second goal

Before the ball rolled, coach Weiss announced that he would not let Vietnam have an easy match. But in the New National Stadium, the home team played completely underdog, losing 0-6 boldly.

"Congratulations to Vietnam on a well-deserved victory. Let's see what they have done. It's so impressive!", Mr. Weiss said at the press conference. "We made too many mistakes. At the beginning of the match, Vietnam focused on attacking the left wing, but we couldn't stop it. The first goal came too soon, and then the second one. The match was considered like a match. finish soon".

Vietnam put many attacking balls on the left wing in the presence of Doan Van Hau. This attack was effective, when in the 16th minute the defender wearing the number 5 shirt crossed for Nguyen Tien Linh to open the scoring. The difference was doubled in the 43rd minute when the Lao defender broke the error, allowing midfielder Do Hung Dung to score a goal. In the second half, Vietnam scored four more goals, although Coach Park changed many players to keep his strength.

"After the break between the two halves, I tried to make personnel changes but it didn't work, because Vietnam played too well, putting great pressure. It must be admitted that Vietnam has a higher level, much better. The truth is that we don't have the skills, the experience or the physical strength to stop them," added Mr. Weiss.

After the game, the German coach spent a lot of time chatting with the players on the field. "I say the team must not fall, must not lose morale. I will not punish the players when they cannot play at the level they do not have. We have to be realistic, to know where we are. We have to be. focus on the next games, have to look to the future. We lost but learned from the experience. I want the players to hold their heads high to look forward to the next match."

Laos will be Malaysia's guest on December 24. Mr. Weiss said, in addition to having to play on the opponent's field with a capacity of more than 80,000 people, Laos also lost the adult striker in France Billy due to injury in the match against Vietnam. According to Weiss, the absence of the 33-year-old striker leaves a big gap, because Billy has both the best expertise in the team and a great mental influence on the young players.
