Vietnam Olympic team will face Iran Olympic team in the second match of the men's football group stage of ASIAD 19. This is an important match against a direct competitor for the ticket to the next round with coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team. Even if they cannot get any points, Vietnam Olympic team will need to calculate the secondary index to prepare for the case of competing for a "survival ticket" with the third-place teams of other groups.
Tonight's challenge (6:30 p.m. on September 21) is much more difficult than the opening match. Mongolia Olympic is the weakest team in the group, so coach Hoang Anh Tuan still conducts many experiments and shuffles the lineup. Meanwhile, Iran Olympic is a strong team and Vietnam Olympic needs to make adjustments in the approach to the match.
Vietnam Olympic 4-2 Mongolia.
First of all, in the goalkeeper position, Quan Van Chuan will find it difficult to keep his starting position, especially after his recent shaky performances. On the other hand, coach Hoang Anh Tuan chose Do Sy Huy to attend ASIAD 19 clearly not as a backup option. The goalkeeper of the Hanoi Police Club with 1 season of experience as a starting goalkeeper in the First Division and 2 V-League matches will bring greater peace of mind.
The adjustment in the central defender trio depends on whether Phan Tuan Tai can recover from his injury in time. If the Viettel player cannot play, the Vietnam Olympic team has no other choice for the 3-4-3 formation besides the three names Le Nguyen Hoang, Nguyen Manh Hung and Nguyen Duc Anh.
Changes may come in the wings and midfield. Coach Hoang Anh Tuan confirmed that he will aim for an active, attacking style of play through ball control. However, that does not mean that Vietnam Olympic team will only focus on attacking. Iran Olympic team is a strong opponent and coach Hoang Anh Tuan may prioritize players who can support the defense.

On the left wing, Vo Minh Trong is a less adventurous choice than Khuat Van Khang. Coach Hoang Anh Tuan can push Van Khang to a higher position if he wants to take advantage of this player's attacking ability.
Meanwhile, in midfield, Nguyen Thai Son could be in the starting lineup after only playing in the second half of the first match. The Thanh Hoa midfielder made a mistake that led to a goal in the previous match, but overall he is still the best player in the midfield of the Vietnam Olympic team with maturity thanks to his experience in the V-League and national team levels since the beginning of the year.
The attack is an area where coach Hoang Anh Tuan has many options with equal quality. Depending on the approach to the match and the specific situation, the coach from Khanh Hoa can choose suitable options. Unfortunately, the Vietnam Olympic team cannot use Nham Manh Dung because this player is having health problems.
Nguyen Quoc Viet and Bui Vi Hao are agile players who can exploit the space behind the opponent's defense to receive cross-line and cross-line passes. Meanwhile, Vo Nguyen Hoang - a striker - is used, he will combine well with passers or players who can cause trouble on the wing such as Van Khang, Thanh Nhan or Dinh Bac.
Overall, the Vietnam Olympic team needs to approach the match and enter the match with a different attitude than the match against Mongolia. That will lead to personnel adjustments by coach Hoang Anh Tuan.
