I know how hard the players trained, fought, and had a big desire to win. We deserved more than this,” Capellas said after the match. “The game against Vietnam was balanced, and we shoudl have won. But ⁤it didn’t happen. This is also a lesson for us. Three points seemed to be in our grasp, but they were taken away.”

“We’re going straight to the airport (after this match). We⁣ might not sleep tonight. I only ‍have two days to prepare the team and we have a long journey ahead. I only have one day to train the tired players,then⁢ we face‍ a crucial match against Indonesia,who have five days off,” Capellas explained.

“The players are still 100 percent motivated to keep fighting. We’ve‍ reached ⁢the final stage ⁣of the group phase and still have ⁤a ⁣chance to win. If the Philippines plays like they did against Vietnam, we can beat Indonesia.”

“I know my ‍players don’t have much rest, but they will fight with all their might to ⁣reach the ⁤semifinals. I’m proud of the whole team and I’m not worried about the next game,” Capellas asserted.
