Coach Mai Duc Chung: 'Defense is the number 1 priority mission'

Coach Mai Duc Chung shared: “Right at the first leg, we created conditions for young players to play. In this second leg, we try to allocate so that all players can play, especially young players. The last 0-5 loss was a strong one, but compared to the past ( lost 0-8), this result is acceptable and shows that we are making progress. Currently the team spirit is still very good."

The 69-year-old military leader also confirmed that the difference in qualifications between the two teams is very large. Australian women are ranked 7th in the world. The whole team will try to find a goal but the defensive mission is still the top priority.
