Quang Hai becomes a hero, Vietnam team defeats Indonesia

(Dan Tri) - Midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai scored the only goal to help the Vietnamese team beat Indonesia 1-0 in the third match of the 2024 AFF Cup group stage at Viet Tri Stadium on the evening of December 15.

In the third round of the AFF Cup group stage, the Vietnamese team played at home (Viet Tri, Phu Tho ) against Indonesia. After the opening whistle, the Vietnamese players proactively raised their attacking formation, causing the ball to roll almost exclusively on the visitors' side. Coach Shin Tae Yong proactively let Indonesia play defensive counter-attacks. The crowded defensive style of the young Indonesian players made it difficult for the Vietnamese team to approach the visitors' goal. The Indonesian players were also ready to commit fouls from afar to prevent the Vietnamese team from getting the ball into a favorable position to be able to finish.

In the first 45 minutes, the Vietnamese team had 8 shots, but did not score, while Indonesia did not score. The deadlock in the Vietnamese team's attack continued in the first half of the second half, although coach Kim Sang Sik also made personnel adjustments. In the middle of the second half, Indonesia had shots towards Nguyen Filip's goal, all stemming from mistakes by the Vietnamese defense. However, although the Vietnamese team's stopper stood still for a long time, Nguyen Filip still maintained his concentration and firmly protected the goal. The turning point of the match came in the 77th minute when Tien Linh's ball accidentally fell into Quang Hai's shooting range. The powerful shot of the player wearing the Vietnam captain's armband in this match brought the opening goal of the match.

The Korean newspaper also added: "Coach Kim Sang Sik is receiving strong support from Vietnamese fans, while coach Shin Tae Yong is receiving much praise for helping Indonesia rise dramatically in the FIFA rankings. Strategies and tactics will be the key factors that will decide victory or defeat in the match. Coach Kim Sang Sik must build a stable defense while taking advantage of home field advantage, while coach Shin Tae Yong must come up with a plan to continue the strong performance against Vietnam. Fans are focusing their attention on which of the two "captains" will smile." Expert: "If we can neutralize throw-ins, Vietnam will beat Indonesia" Coach Hoang Anh Tuan: "Coach Shin Tae Yong is a classy coach. As I said, under coach Shin Tae Yong, the Indonesian team is well organized, with a very clear playing intention. It's just that all the playing styles that coaches want to apply to their teams, whether successful or not, depend on the human factor. In all cases, specific people will decide the specific playing style". Coach Shin Tae Yong: "Vietnam is the strongest team in the 2024 AFF Cup"

Evaluating the Vietnamese team at the AFF Cup 2024, coach Shin Tae Yong said: "The Vietnamese team is currently considered the strongest team in this tournament. Meanwhile, the Indonesian team participates with the main goal of preparing for the SEA Games next year. This leads to a clear difference in level between the two teams. In the upcoming match, Indonesia will certainly face many disadvantages. However, this is also a valuable opportunity for young Indonesian players to gain more competition experience. That is also the goal we set for this tournament". Coach Kim Sang Sik: "Indonesia has a young squad, but is weak in physical strength" Coach Kim Sang Sik made comments about the Indonesian team after watching their two most recent matches. "After watching Indonesia's two matches, I saw that their squad was full of young players and seemed to have many problems. I analyzed it carefully and shared these comments with the Vietnamese players, and also gave tactical ideas during training sessions," he said. The Vietnamese team's captain emphasized that the whole team will continue to follow the plan set out from the beginning. He also pointed out that Indonesia is having physical problems, and this will be a weakness that the Vietnamese team can exploit. "We will exploit that weakness, make them work harder and achieve the desired results," coach Kim Sang Sik affirmed.

Coach Kim Sang Sik affirmed that the top goal is to win against Indonesia, regardless of the score. He emphasized: "Our goal is to win, the score is not important because scoring is not easy. Maybe people think that Indonesia is currently weaker, has many young players, and is not in good form, but they will definitely still play their best. We focus on the only goal, which is 3 points."
