HANOI, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 29th Aug, 2017 ) : Led by new coach Mai Duc Chung, Vietnam's national football squad gathered here on Tuesday to prepare for an Asian Cup qualifying match against Cambodia on Sept.

5. After the Vietnamese squad left the 2017 Southeast Asian (SEA) Games empty-handed, coach Nguyen Huu Thang resigned, and Mai Duc Chung, who has led Vietnam's national women's football team to the top spot at SEA Games five times, including the 2017 event in Malaysia, was appointed by the Vietnam Football Federation as the interim coach of Vietnam's national men's football team.

The 66-year-old interim coach said Vietnamese players should not focus on long and high passes, but short and medium quick coordination, creating few opportunities for rivals to approach them and regain control of the ball. Vietnam is to clash with Cambodia, Afghanistan and Jordan in Asian Cup 2019 Group C from March 2017 to March 2018. APP/Xinhua/meh/mkz
