(Dan Tri) - Despite trying very hard to score, the Vietnamese team's players had difficulty facing the close pressure and physical disadvantage of the Russian team's players at My Dinh Stadium on the evening of September 5.
On the evening of September 5, the Vietnamese team began its series of friendly matches in September with a match against the Russian team at My Dinh Stadium. This is an opportunity for the players to compete with the team from Europe and also an opportunity for coach Kim Sang Sik to experiment with his squad. Under the rather hot weather of Hanoi, the away team players were rated higher and had a relatively good start and quickly controlled the ball. The Vietnamese team with quality names like Hoang Duc, Ngoc Hai, Thanh Chung, Tuan Tai... although very active in finding the ball, always seems to be made difficult by the opposing team's players.
Hoang Duc, despite having a good physique in the Vietnam team, still shows weakness in close-quarter situations and aerial ball fights. The dribbling showed that the speed and physique of the Russian team were superior to those of the Vietnamese team. The turning point of the match came in the 24th minute, when Musaev, after skillful technical moves, crossed the ball from the left sideline for Kuziaev to head in from close range to open the score. After scoring, the Russian players played more confidently and had many attacks close to Van Lam's goal. However, the Vietnamese players covered well, not allowing the opponent to score a second goal before the break. The first half ended with a score of 1-0 for the Russian team. Coach Kim Sang Sik turned his attention to the reserve players and quickly made changes to the playing personnel in the second half. Tuan Hai and Quang Hai are the names that the Korean coach trusted to put on the field in the second half.
The Vietnamese team's attack has clearly changed with the aggressiveness of Tuan Hai and the technique of Quang Hai. However, Van Lam's mistake caused the Vietnamese team to concede the second goal in the 61st minute. Despite their best efforts to find a goal to shorten the score, coach Kim Sang Sik and his team did not score. On the contrary, the away team scored another goal to make it 3-0. Russian fans shouted throughout the match, contributing to the 3-star victory at My Dinh Stadium. Despite losing 0-3 to Russia at My Dinh Stadium, the Vietnamese team still left many positive signals in their playing style. Coach Kim Sang Sik's team will face Thailand at My Dinh Stadium at 8:00 p.m. on September 10.
