Thanh Nhan will be absent from the bronze medal match.
Losing 2-3 to U.22 Indonesia by a goal in the 90+7 minute, the U.22 Vietnam team's dream of reaching the final of the 32nd SEA Games as well as defending the gold medal it had won twice before was shattered. In the immediate future, coach Philippe Troussier and his team will focus on the bronze medal match at 4:00 p.m. on May 16.
At the press conference, coach Philippe Troussier said he did not blame his players, even though mistakes were carefully planned, such as the U.22 Indonesia's specialty throw-ins.
Losing at the last minute, U.22 Vietnam missed the appointment with the SEA Games gold medal hat-trick
The French strategist believes that U.22 Vietnam still implemented the playing style proposed by the coaching staff well, clearly showing a change in playing mindset and persistence in the new way of playing, but lack of experience led to undeserved goals.
Coach Troussier will have to find someone to replace Thanh Nhan.
Certainly, U.22 Vietnam will not want to return home empty-handed, but will aim to win the bronze medal match to bring joy to the fans.
However, coach Troussier is facing concerns about the injury of midfielder Thanh Nhan, who was substituted in the 71st minute after a collision with an Indonesian U.22 player.
According to initial examination, doctors determined that the midfielder of Pho Hien – CAND Club has a sprained ankle ligament. Tomorrow morning, May 14, doctors will take Nhan for an MRI scan to check for bone damage.

This means that in the final match of SEA Games 32, the U.22 Vietnam team will not be able to have Thanh Nhan - who has always been a starter under coach Philippe Troussier.
The number 1 candidate to replace Thanh Nhan at this time is Khuat Van Khang, midfielder of U.20 Vietnam who is clearly playing better in the U.22 Vietnam shirt.
At SEA Games 32, Khang was the reserve player who was given the most opportunities to play by Coach Troussier, in the roles of left back and right forward. In fact, Khang's left foot is very suitable for Thanh Nhan's right forward role.
