After a 1-2 defeat to Uzbekistan in the quarter-finals of the 2024 Asian futsal tournament, the Vietnamese futsal team had to enter the play-off round to compete for Asia’s 5th place in the 2024 Futsal World Cup finals.
The first opponent of coach Diego Giustozzi and his team in the play-offs is Kyrgyzstan. Before this match, goalkeeper Ho Van Y said that the whole team is focusing most on the play-offs.
He said: “I will ignore the sadness and regret of the quarter-finals and focus most on the match against Kyrgyzstan, and try to show my best to win with the whole team, even though quarterfinals or play-offs. The Vietnamese futsal team still has the same goal of winning tickets to the 2024 Futsal World Cup.”
“In the team meeting, coach Diego Giustozzi said that the players performed well against Uzbekistan. However, the result is only win or lose and we have to accept the unexpected. Therefore, the whole team must be determined to regain their spirit to prepare for this play-off match,” the goalkeeper of the Vietnam futsal team added.
Regarding opponent Kyrgyzstan, goalkeeper Ho Van Y assessed: “Kyrgyzstan has had strong development. They played differently from the qualifying round to the final round of this season.
In every situation, the whole team always tries to show their best, regardless of the expectations and cheers of the fans. I hope everyone will continue to accompany the Vietnamese futsal team through this difficult period.”
The play-off match between the Vietnamese futsal team and the Kyrgyzstan team will take place at 4:00 p.m. this afternoon (April 26).
