American newspaper analyzes the strengths of the Vietnamese women's team

Coming to the 2023 World Cup as a rookie, the Vietnamese women's team is rated very low when placed next to the US team - the defending champion or the Netherlands team - the defending runner-up in Group E.

Many people predict that coach Mai Duc Chung and his team will suffer a heavy defeat in their opening match against the US women's team. However, the sports news site Just Women's Sports has a different perspective.

The Vietnamese women's team is in the same group with the US, the Netherlands and Portugal.

In an article analyzing the strength of the Vietnamese women's team at the World Cup, author Emma Hruby wrote: "Vietnam can be a tough opponent for the US women's team. They have an annoying counter-attacking style of play. That was shown in the recent match against the German team.

Their attacking prowess was evident in that match. When facing Myanmar in the final of the Southeast Asian tournament, the Vietnamese women's team also continuously tormented their opponents with finishing shots. Of course, the US team's defense was rated higher, but they were still quite young. Any mistake could cost them a goal.

Vietnam's advantage is that they have played 9 matches together in 2023. On the contrary, although they have played 8 matches, the US team's lineup from January until now is very different. The cohesion between the US players could be a weakness for Vietnam to exploit."

Thanh Nha made a very good impression in the matches before the 2023 World Cup.

Regarding individuals, the author highly appreciates Huynh Nhu but also gives Thanh Nha special attention: “21-year-old player Nguyen Thi Thanh Nha, who scored against Germany and was voted by FIFA as a player to watch this summer, is also a name that can shine.”

On July 22, the Vietnamese women's team will meet the US women's team in the opening match of Group E at the 2023 Women's World Cup. Before that, tomorrow (July 14), Huynh Nhu and her teammates will have their final rehearsal match with Spain at 7:30 a.m. (Vietnam time).
