“Vietnam is a very strong opponent. They have won the SEA Games many times and are a strong candidate for the championship. We will try our best,” he said.
The same thing was expressed by the Indonesian Women’s National Team player, Gea Yumanda.Conquering Vietnam, many people may think is impossible, but that’s not certain in football.
“As our coach said, Indonesia is here to make history, and I think all Indonesian fans will support us to play well in the semifinals,” said Gea.
“I really appreciate the Vietnam women’s team. A few months ago, our team lost to Vietnam in the AFF Cup, but I think now it will be different,” said the player in the attacking position.
In Gea’s view, Indonesia’s strength when it lost to Vietnam in the 2024 AFF Cup was not the same as it is now.Players have also learned from the group stage defeat.
“Our team has prepared well and has the advantage of five days’ rest. We have fully recovered and will do our best to beat Vietnam,” he said.
