Comments on U17 Vietnam vs Japan: Overcoming high mountains

In the opening match of the 2023 AFC U17 Championship, despite facing the "softest" opponent in Group D, India, U17 Vietnam only had a 1-1 draw. Coach Hoang Anh Tuan admitted that this was a very regrettable result because U17 Vietnam's goal was to win all 3 points, thereby making it easier to calculate before facing two difficult opponents, Japan and Uzbekistan.

However, the coach from Khanh Hoa did not think that his students would have such psychological problems. The tension prevented Cong Phuong and his teammates from showing their full potential, and even made frequent mistakes.

U17 Vietnam confident to play better in match against Japan

Before the match against Japan, besides getting familiar with the competition venue, the whole team also sat down to analyze the video of the match against U17 India, so that each player could draw their own experiences.

Coach Hoang Anh Tuan reassured his players: "This match is over, it's over. We will prepare better for the next match, and everything else is not important anymore."

Obviously, when playing against a strong opponent Japan, if U17 Vietnam cannot solve the psychological problem, they will face more difficulties. This is a match where the red team aims for 1 point, with a defensive counter-attacking style of play.

Coach Hoang Anh Tuan believes that his students will perform best when they have many lessons in the opening match.
