"It's disappointing that the brilliant achievements of the Vietnamese team disappeared in a short time. Many Vietnamese fans were looking forward to the match with Indonesia but they were disappointed to see the team's stalemate," coach Bae Ji-won - a member of the Vietnamese team's coaching staff under Park Hang Seo - wrote on social media.
According to the Korean expert, the performance of the Vietnamese team when losing 0-3 to Indonesia last night (March 26) at My Dinh Stadium was worse than the first leg. The lack of organization in defense and lack of attacking ideas of the home team were more clearly shown when the lines of the team could not maintain balance.
Vietnam team 0-3 Indonesia
The Vietnamese team's ball possession rate was superior to that of their opponents. Coach Philippe Troussier's players also had more shots than in the first leg. However, the effectiveness, smoothness and threat of their attacking combinations were not high.
Coach Bae Ji-won believes that it was Indonesia who controlled the game as they wanted. They actively played defensively and the early goal helped coach Shin Tae-yong's idea to be implemented smoothly.
"Indonesia is predicted to be at a disadvantage on the away field, so they do not put pressure and attack proactively. They maintain a stable game, focusing on keeping a dense and organized defense. After losing in the first leg, the Vietnamese team must attack more fiercely and Indonesia has prepared carefully for that," Mr. Bae Ji-won analyzed.
"After conceding the goal, the Vietnamese team had many hasty plays, trying to equalize instead of choosing to play carefully, steadily and focused. The match took place mainly with long balls, crosses and high balls.
The players showed a desire to pressure their opponents but they lacked the ability to create chances through calm and steady coordination. As their physical strength declined, the Vietnamese team had more difficulty finding opportunities and also struggled to defend against Indonesia's counter-attacks.
The Vietnamese team was once again defeated by Indonesia in the opponent's game. The Vietnamese team could not show their playing style and tactical advantage. The physical strength and spirit of the Vietnamese team were also inferior to Indonesia's."
The Vietnamese team lost completely to Indonesia.
The 0-3 defeat to Indonesia also marked the end of Coach Troussier's one-year stint as coach of the Vietnamese national team. The French coach and the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) reached an agreement to terminate the contract last night.
According to coach Bae Ji-won, Vietnamese football accepts defeat and this is the time to move forward.
"Now, instead of being disappointed and regretful about the results, it is important to choose a direction for Vietnamese football to move forward. Achieving glory and titles is very difficult, but losing them only takes a moment," said coach Bae Ji-won.
