Myanmar to play against Viet Nam today in AFF Cup 2022 group match
January 03, 2023
Myanmar national football team and Viet Nam
team head coaches and players attended the pre-match press conference between
Viet Nam and Myanmar, which will play as the final match of Group B of the 2022
AFF Cup tournament in Viet Nam today.
Myanmar head coach Antoine Hey said, “Within the
group, the teams have their own strengths and weaknesses, and there are no
major differences. Viet Nam is a good team and they have strengths and
weaknesses. In the last three games, both our team and ourselves have had a lot
of possession and created opportunities”.
“There are many good points. In the same way, we
did not get the goal needed to win and there are weaknesses where we conceded a
goal. Sadly, we can’t qualify for the group stage. Our team is still in the
stage of construction.
“There are many international matches to compete
including SEA Games, Olympics and Asian Cup Qualifiers. We have potential youth
players. The team has to be changed later.”
Myanmar striker Aung Kaung Marn said, ‘‘We were able
to dominate every match with possession advantage. We were also able to create
opportunities to score goals. Unfortunately, we didn’t score as many goals as
we should have and the team’s result was bad.”
“We have reviewed. All the new generation younger
brothers and teammates in our team tried their best to achieve good results. If
you want to blame, blame me. yor should not put pressure on the younger
generation as much as possible. They still have bright futures to work on,” he
said.
The match will be played at 7 pm Myanmar Standard
Time at My Dinh Stadium in Hanoi, Viet Nam.
The Malaysian team will play against the
Singaporean team at Bukit Jali Stadium in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The Myanmar
team has said goodbye to the group and will have to play only for honour, but
Viet Nam, Singapore and Malaysia have a chance to qualify for the semi-finals.
