“Vietnam is sending its best team to the championship. We will try our best to clear the qualifying round and reach the final,” said coach Truong Minh Sang.
“Among these players, the highest expectations are from Tung. The 22-year-old won an Asian gold medal and three gold medals at the Southeast Asian Games, which concluded in Malaysia last month,” Sang added.
