The veteran coach highlighted the increasing competitiveness of the region:
“We value every opponent, from Group A to Group B. Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines have all made progress. I have watched their friendly matches, and every team has prepared well. Cambodia’s recent games against Guam and Hong Kong (China) showed clear improvement.”

“Our goal, both individually and as a team, is to give our best for the fans. We will fight hard in every match to win the championship. Playing at home is both an advantage and a pressure, but with the support of fans in Hai Phong and across the country, we believe we can make history.”
