"The passionate atmosphere made it a bit difficult for the team. In terms of results, the Vietnamese team played better and won," Syria coach Hector Cuper said at a press conference.
Syria is ranked 90th in the FIFA rankings, 5 places higher than the Vietnamese team. However, in the friendly match at Thien Truong Stadium (Nam Dinh) on the evening of June 20, coach Philippe Troussier's students dominated and played proactively.
Vietnam team defeated Syria thanks to a goal by Pham Tuan Hai.
The Vietnamese team still had problems in organizing attacks. However, the home team controlled the match well and won thanks to a long-range shot by Pham Tuan Hai. This goal came from the situation where the Vietnamese team organized pressure and successfully stole the ball near the opponent's penalty area.
Coach Hector Cuper continued to praise the Vietnamese team: "I think the Vietnamese team had good tactics in this match. They controlled the ball well. There were many times when it was difficult for the Syrian team to recover the ball."
Coach Hector Cuper
The Vietnamese team played well, controlling the ball more, causing many difficulties for the opponents. The Syrian players had very few coordinated attacks, causing danger to the Vietnamese defense. However, coach Hector Cuper did not blame his players.
The coach who led Valencia to second place in the Champions League for two consecutive years reiterated that he had only been in charge of the Syrian team for four months. The Argentine coach said that this was a match in which the West Asian team used many new players.
"I am a new coach. In this match, I watched about 12-15 players who were joining the national team for the first time. At the beginning of the match, the players were quite heavy because they were not used to playing in high humidity. However, as the match progressed, the team played better and had a better second half. The Syrian team needed time to adapt. Congratulations to the Vietnamese team for a good match," said Mr. Cuper.
