Vietnam team always makes the audience's heart ache

The team's MESSY COLOR PALETTE

Coach Kim Sang-sik has "cleaned" half of the Vietnamese team's lineup compared to the match against Laos, in which the wingers on both sides have been completely replaced with the appearance of Van Vi and Tan Tai. On the offensive line, Quang Hai returned to increase cohesion and breakthrough in the opponent's third of the field. Meanwhile, in defense, Nguyen Filip and Xuan Manh were present to bring certainty. Against an opponent Indonesia with a tight defense, not afraid to "shred" the match with fouls or kicking the ball out of bounds, maintaining a steady pressure intensity is the key for the Vietnamese team to control the game. However, the shortcomings in the opening match have not been completely corrected. Coach Kim's students could not maintain a stable playing rhythm, lacked seamless coordination and had no clear attacking ideas.

Throughout the first half, the Vietnamese team continuously pressed the two wings with two different approaches. While Van Vi's left wing was responsible for opening up space to cross the ball inside, Tan Tai's right wing was responsible for penetrating the penalty area, creating a surprise attack. The Binh Duong FC defender almost brought the Vietnamese team a penalty in the middle of the first half with a fall in the penalty area, but the referee said no.

The close connection between Tan Tai and Tien Linh is expected to bring a new direction to the home team's attack. However, due to Indonesia's tight marking and extremely fierce defense, attackers like Tien Linh and Hai Long have almost no space to turn around, let alone break through or finish.

What coach Kim Sang-sik's students did in the first half were just crosses or crosses from the sidelines but there was no "intercept", because only Tien Linh was the striker ready to fight for the ball, while Quang Hai, Hai Long or Hoang Duc all tended to wait for the ball in the second line, which was an area that Indonesia had covered very carefully.

Q UANG HAI SPEAKS OUT

Entering the second half, the Vietnamese team still controlled the game, but the way they played changed. Coach Kim's students coordinated more in the middle, when Quang Hai and Hoang Duc both pushed high to put pressure on the penalty area. The two wings also worked hard to penetrate the penalty area, in which Tan Tai was given the opportunity to push high to increase the number of players in the penalty area. The players changed their playing style to find space, instead of depending on a rut. Although they did not create a good enough game, the idea of attacking was also difficult when both the wings and the center were not in sync, but in the end, the Vietnamese team still got the most important thing: victory.

Throughout the first half, Quang Hai had to move wide to carry the ball and build up the play. However, when pushed up to approach the penalty area, the midfielder born in 1997 recreated an image that had not appeared for a long time. Those were extremely fast and neat kicks from the "left wing" that once brought resounding success to Vietnamese football. In the 77th minute, Tien Linh handled the ball, sending it to the position Quang Hai had chosen in the penalty area, before the captain of the Vietnamese team swung his leg to finish quickly, scoring a goal into the Indonesian net.

Coach Kim Sang-sik's changes were effective. Besides Quang Hai, Van Toan and Van Thanh also entered the field to help the right wing of the Vietnamese team gain more speed and certainty. The certainty was further reinforced in the final minutes, when the Vietnamese players proactively slowed down the pace of play. The slower tempo of the match helped Quang Hai and his teammates control the situation well. Although Indonesia put pressure on them in the final minutes, coach Kim and his team still stood firm to preserve the victory.

The Vietnamese team will leave for the Philippines today (December 16) to prepare for the match against the host team at 8:00 p.m. on December 18.
