The Vietnam Olympic team will meet the Saudi Arabian Olympic team in the final match of the group stage of the 19th ASIAD. The result of this match will directly affect the chances of coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team advancing.
Vietnam Olympic started the 19th ASIAD with a 4-2 victory over Mongolia Olympic. 3 points is what the players must achieve, because the opponent is rated much lower. However, that victory may no longer be meaningful if Quoc Viet and his teammates finish the group stage in third place.
Vietnam Olympic team faced many difficulties in the final round of the group stage of ASIAD 19.
Coach Hoang Anh Tuan immediately pointed out the problem of the players' attitude and concentration. In the second match against Olympic Iran, this was somewhat improved. However, the West Asian team was too superior in both experience and skill. Therefore, Olympic Vietnam lost 4-0. This put coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team at a disadvantage.
On the ranking of third-placed teams, Vietnam Olympic is only above Myanmar Olympic thanks to the extra index. The team's chances of advancing are very slim. Quoc Viet and his teammates will only be sure to advance if they beat Saudi Arabia Olympic. However, even gaining 1 point is not a simple task for Vietnam Olympic.
In the opening match, Olympic Saudi Arabia shared points with Olympic Iran. They let their opponents dominate, but they are still a strong team, at a higher level than Olympic Vietnam.
The goal of Vietnam Olympic team is to get points. However, against a very strong opponent, the most realistic goal is to limit the number of goals conceded. In addition, the players try to take advantage of the opponent's weaknesses to be able to bring home goals.
Vietnam Olympic team received good news when Phan Tuan Tai returned. He adds solidity to the defense, as well as the ability to deploy the ball from the back. However, it is likely that this defender can only enter the field from the bench if he can regain good enough playing condition. Meanwhile, Nguyen Duc Anh cannot play due to receiving enough penalty cards.
