For the Vietnamese women's team, the only goal is to defeat Thailand in the third-place match as a gift for the fans.
In the group stage match, the "Diamond Girls" defeated the Thais with a minimal score.
Coach Mai Duc Chung said: "Obviously now we only need to prepare for the bronze medal match.
Thailand and Vietnam already understand each other. If we just play with a better spirit and a little more closely, I think we will win.”
Meanwhile, at the press conference before the final match, the coaches of the Australian and Myanmar women's teams were determined to win.
Coach Joe Palatsides affirmed that the Australian women's team has made a lot of progress after losing to Myanmar in the group stage: "We arrived in Vietnam late and had not had time to adapt to the weather, but since then the team has gone from one progress to another. The players have absorbed the information and performed very well despite the tight schedule."
Joe Palatsides said Australia will continue to maintain a possession-based style of play: “Our plan is to keep the ball. They won’t be able to score if we keep the ball well. We will focus on our own play instead of worrying too much about our opponents.”
Meanwhile, Myanmar women's team head coach Uki Tetsuro appreciated Australia's progress since the opening match, even though Myanmar had won.
Mr. Uki Tetsuro affirmed: “The Australian team has improved a lot and tomorrow's match will be very difficult. Although we only have two days to recover, the whole team will try our best to enter the match with the highest determination.”
The final match between Myanmar women's team and Australia women's team will take place at 8:00 p.m. on August 19.
Before that, the third-place match between the Vietnamese women's team and the Thai women's team will take place at 4:30 p.m. the same day.
