Hanoi: Park Hang-seo is confident his Vietnam side can continue to show improvement with more preparation time after the ASEAN nation booked their place in the 2019 AFC Asian Cup Finals.
A 0-0 draw with Afghanistan in Hanoi’s My Dinh Stadium was enough for the 2007 co-hosts to secure their first qualification for the finals since the country’s reunification in 1976 as Vietnam guaranteed at least second spot in Group C.
“Vietnam did not win the game, but one point is enough to go to the Finals,” said the coach from Korea Republic, who was appointed last month.
“We did not play well today, but our players tried their best. I think that the main reason is the short time preparation so we did not have enough time to show our ability.
“Everything will be better when we have more time working together.”
