After beating the Philippines 4-2 on aggregate in the two-leg
semi-finals, coach Park Hang-seo’s side won the last ticket to the final to
meet Malaysia again, the team that was defeated 2-0 by Vietnam in the group
stage.
The upcoming two-leg final will be not easy, but millions of
home fans are heading to support the team to realise the dream of becoming
the regional champions after 10 years of waiting.
In his letter, PM Phuc congratulated and praised the efforts by
the Vietnam national football team, especially coach Park Hang-seo, in
winning the final berth at the biggest regional football tournament for the
first time in 10 years.
Along with the love and victorious belief of the nation towards
the team, the government leader expressed his wish that the team would be
well prepared and united to play two good games to win the championship
title.
He also urged the team to keep calm and stay confident to
compete for national pride.
