Tan Long: For me, I should show my best side. Jankovic told me that he hopes I can play a fulcrum role and improve the team's ability to grasp opportunities in front of the goal.
- Talking about the confrontation with the two strong teams of Japan and South Korea
Tan Long: These two teams are particularly strong. But we have no baggage, the pressure is on each other. Hopefully we can score at least one goal in this tournament. For me, being able to score the goal of the Japanese and Korean teams will be a lifetime honor.
