The Vietnam U.23 team participated in the 2023 Southeast Asian U.23 Championship with a force consisting of many U.20 players. Therefore, reaching the final is considered to have achieved the set goal. However, coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team do not want to stop there, because simply when reaching a final, any team aims for the championship.
Coach Hoang Anh Tuan creates a comfortable atmosphere for his students during the training session.
“We have prepared everything we need to prepare for tomorrow’s match. We know how to respond appropriately to each opponent. We respect U.23 Indonesia and will try our best to play at our best. Not only me but any other coach when facing the match has only one goal. That is to aim for victory,” said coach Hoang Anh Tuan.
Young Vietnamese players practice with great enthusiasm.
During this afternoon’s training session, Coach Hoang Anh Tuan applied exercises that were designed to help his players recover and maintain their spirits. The coach and his team also spent the last few minutes of the session strengthening the U.23 Vietnam team’s defense to counter the attacks of the U.23 Indonesia team, especially the dangerous throw-ins.

“We are a united team, following the head coach’s tactics and will enter the match with the highest determination. Participating in this tournament, I myself have also drawn a lot of experience to develop and progress further. The whole team understands coach Tuan’s playing style and is focused on tomorrow’s match,” U.23 Vietnam defender Nguyen Hong Phuc confidently shared before the training session.

Evaluating further on the team from the archipelago, coach Hoang Anh Tuan said that the strength of U.23 Indonesia is having a good coach, being flexible in changing tactics and personnel depending on the opponent. “They have experienced players so they can change tactics according to the opponent. We do the same. We also know how to respond appropriately to each opponent. When meeting Indonesia tomorrow, we will play differently from yesterday's victory over Malaysia. I believe the team is preparing well for the final match.”
