Following the conclusion of their group-stage match, both coaches shared
their reflections on the game and the tournament. PVF
head coach Nguyen Xuan Thanh acknowledged the challenge of
facing a powerful team like Barcelona, noting that his team initially adopted a

at key moments. Despite the result and PVF’s exit from the tournament, Thanh
emphasized the significant value of the experience, highlighting the high
intensity of the competition and the lessons gained by his players. He
described the tournament as extremely beneficial for their development and
confirmed that the coaching staff will now assess players’ strengths and
weaknesses moving forward.


On the other side, Barcelona head coach David Sanchez
expressed satisfaction with his team’s performance, particularly in the second
half. He praised the players’ cohesion and overall consistency throughout the
group stage. Looking ahead, Sanchez stated that Barcelona will focus on
recovery before preparing tactically for their upcoming match against Mohammed
VI Academy, acknowledging the opponent’s attacking quality
while reaffirming his full confidence in his squad’s ability to compete and
progress further in the tournament.
