Indonesian reporters fear Tien Linh the most, not surprised if he scores

Female reporter Dian (CNN Indonesia) highly appreciates Tien Linh's scoring ability.

Sharing with Thanh Nien Newspaper, Diego Mandela Basro - reporter for CNN Indonesia and analyst on Kutak Katik Football Analysis channel - said that he closely follows the two teams Vietnam and Indonesia, and is especially impressed with Tien Linh.

Diego said: “The Indonesian team played well at the 2023 Asian Cup, especially in the match against Vietnam. This time, we added many quality players from Europe. Therefore, I am very confident in the result of the upcoming match.

Of course, I am a little worried because the players from Europe have not had much time to get used to the tactics, the formation and the weather. However, I believe that with their inherent technical foundation, they will soon adapt. I really expect an impressive performance from the new players."

Diego confirmed that he knows that coach Philippe Troussier does not have his best players at the 2023 Asian Cup due to injuries. However, he believes that the Vietnamese team this time will be very formidable thanks to the scoring ability of striker Nguyen Tien Linh, who has returned from injury.

“Tien Linh will not play in the 2023 Asian Cup due to injury. I know this player well. He will return in tomorrow's match. That will certainly cause more difficulties for the Indonesian team. With Tien Linh, the Vietnamese team will be more complete in their playing style.

The information that Indonesian fans fear the most is correct. He is a very good player. He can play well in the midfield, then move up the field and score. He has very good technique.

I hope Tien Linh doesn't score, for sure. But if he continues to maintain his usual form, it won't be surprising if he scores for the Vietnam team," Diego said frankly.

Besides Tien Linh, Diego was also impressed with Nguyen Quang Hai. He said that the midfielder of the Hanoi Police Club is on a different level compared to the general level in Southeast Asia. Regarding the Indonesian team, Diego affirmed that the most important player is Sandy Walsh.

Dian, a female reporter for CNN Indonesia, shares the same opinion about Tien Linh. She added: “I am impressed with the local players Asnawi Mangkualam and Egy Maulana. But this time, the Indonesian team also has many more high-quality naturalized Indonesian players.

In the match on March 21, it is a pity that defender Asnawi could not play due to injury. However, I believe in the collective strength of the Indonesian team. I think coach Shin Tae-yong and his team will win 3-2."

On the evening of March 20, the Indonesian and Vietnamese teams had another training session but were not allowed to practice getting used to the Gelaro Bung Karno stadium. Instead, they were only allowed to walk on the field to feel the grass for about 15 minutes.
