Michael Weiss, head coach of Laos U23:
“We respect all opponents. We have to play well every game in the 31st SEA Games. We played on the counter-attack pretty well. However, I don’t aim to win a medal. I just hope that every match. They all need players to accumulate experience, and it’s important that they show their talent as much as possible.
In addition, I am still looking for many young players to help the Lao national team catch up with the quality of the Thai team and the Vietnamese team in the near future. We always use young players in tournaments to help them learn and improve their experience. I also want to send players to play abroad. We hope the players will grow up and join the squad for the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup.”.

Nazri Nasir, Head Coach of Singapore U23s:
“We prepared well, but not the best. I remember some players like Iksan Fandi, who couldn’t participate because the club didn’t release him. He was the best player. Absence This aspect affects our squad.
However, we are still aiming to reach the semi-finals. I believe in the players I choose. They were all eager to show off their talents. In the East 2022 championship, we didn’t play well because the squad was unbalanced. Many players are infected with COVID-19. This time my players are ready. And I have as many quality players as I want.”.
