Sharing in this press conference, Coach Masatada Ishii of Thailand said: "First, I want to send my best wishes for the New Year 2025 to everyone. In the final, Thailand will have to meet a very strong team, Vietnam. In the semi-finals against the Philippines, we lost the first leg. Therefore, the Thai team hopes to achieve better results to meet the expectations of fans.

I can't compare the Vietnamese team in September with now because they have also changed a lot compared to that time. From a personal perspective, I think Nguyen Xuan Son is probably the best player of Vietnam at the moment.

We have a plan to limit Xuan Son's ability but cannot reveal it because this is the secret of the Thai national team and you guys wait and see.

I have only worked as the coach of Thailand for more than 1 year and have not had much experience, but once people call the match between Thailand and Vietnam as a super classic match in Southeast Asia, I am also very eager to wait for the attractive competition between the 2 teams.

Previously, the Thai team won the right to reach the final of the 2024 ASEAN Cup when they won with a total score of 4-3 after two rounds against the Philippines. In the second semi-final, the "War Elephants" had to rely on Suphanat's goal in extra time to defeat the Philippines with a score of 3-1.

Before the match, Chalermsak Aukkee affirmed that he would make the Philippines cry after the match. When asked about this statement, Thailand's central defender said: "My statement does not mean to be a fan of the Philippine team. They are a strong team, possess quality coaches and have a talented cast of players.

We believe in the head coach as much as he believes in the players. Everyone knows what they need to do when they go on the field. Before each training session, the coach always meets the team very carefully, sometimes the meetings last for hours.

This victory helped Thailand take a big burden off. I was really emotional. The Philippines is a quality team. They have improved a lot. Hopefully we will meet them again in the final two years from now."

Talking about the Vietnamese team and striker Nguyen Xuan Son, Chalermsak Aukkee confidently said: "The spirit of the whole Thai team is getting better and better. We are not afraid of the Vietnamese team even when we are guests at Viet Tri.

On the contrary, please ask if the Vietnamese team is afraid of us? Their top striker, Nguyen Xuan Son, let's try to face Jonathan Khemdee. I believe Jonathan Khemdee is much stronger than Xuan Son."
