JAKARTA - The Vietnam national team defeated Indonesia in the second leg of the 2022 AFF Cup semifinals, Monday, January 9. The victory at the My Dinh Hanoi National Stadium also ended Vietnam's poor record when they met Indonesia.
Vietnam coach Park Hang-seo said he was proud of his achievements. He said it had burdened the players with the target of winning to end the bad record.
"Before the match, I told the players to win the match so that the Vietnam new generation is not burdened with that again," Park said in a press conference after the match.
He considered that his team did perform much better than Indonesia. Nguyen Tien Linh and his friends showed their best performance in this match.
In addition, the South Korean coach also said that he had studied Indonesia's game from the first leg. He saw the strength of the Garuda Squad on the counter-attack.
He also boasted that he knew that Indonesia had a weak point. This was then used by changing the strategy in this second leg.
"Indonesia has a weak point and that's the reason we played with two strikers today," he said, as reported by Antara, Tuesday, January 10.
Not only talking about the match, Park then flicked the coach of the Indonesian national team, Shin Tae-yong, regarding the upload of a video showing the hard heading of a Vietnamese player, Doan Van Hau, on his personal Instagram account.
Regarding that, Park Hang-seo answered casually but seemed to be insinuating Shin who was active on social media. Park said he was not an active coach on social media.
"I'm not active on social media. So I can't comment on that," Park said at My Dinh National Stadium.
