Park expects Vietnam’s win over China in World Cup qualifier

VOV.VN - Coach Park Hang-seo and midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai expected Vietnam would outplay their visitors China in a World Cup qualifying game on February 1.

Vietnam will take on China at My Dinh National Stadium in Hanoi capital at 19:00hrs on February 1, or lunar New Year’s Eve in both countries. In their away match, Vietnam lost 2-3 to hosts China, including two goals scored by Wu Lei.

Addressing a press briefing in Hanoi on January 31, Park admitted that he has been under great pressure after the national team suffered all seven losing matches at the third qualifying round of the FIFA World Cup.

“People expect a victory tomorrow. I understand that and the whole team will try their best to bring joy to Vietnamese fans, even though it is very difficult," said the Korean expert.

Also at the press briefing, midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai said he and his teammates have practiced hard for the February 1 match.

“The whole team have shown their determination towards a victory as a special gift to fans on lunar New Year’s Day,” said Hai. “Hopefully everyone is always with the team to support us to have the best match towards the best result.”

Chinese players arrived in Vietnam early on January 29 for their clash with hosts Vietnam in Hanoi.
