Vietnamese players choked up after defeat, admitting to being surprised by Indonesia

Bui Hoang Viet Anh answered an interview after losing to Indonesia.

"I am really sad and regretful," Bui Hoang Viet Anh choked up in an interview after losing to Indonesia. The defender of the Hanoi Police Club was a rare player on the Vietnamese team who played well in this match. He and Nguyen Filip played well with important saves.

Bui Hoang Viet Anh added about the match: "The team played well in the second half but the goal did not come. The goal of the Vietnamese team was 3 points but we did not complete the goal. The whole team must try hard in the final match."

In the first half, the Indonesian team completely took the initiative on the field. The Vietnamese team was confused and could not develop the ball as they wanted. In the 40th minute, Nguyen Thanh Binh made a silly mistake when he pulled Rafael Struick's shirt in the penalty area. Asnawi Mangkualam successfully kicked the penalty kick to open the score.

Entering the second half, the positives only came in the first 15 minutes. The Vietnamese team had 3 chances for Van Khang and Tuan Anh. Unfortunately, the duo's finishing was not sharp enough. The efforts at the end of the match did not help the Vietnamese team regain even 1 point.

Bui Hoang Viet Anh is a rare player of the Vietnamese team who played well in this match.

"The Indonesian team played well and pushed up the attack, we were surprised by their tactics. In the second half, everything was better but the Vietnamese team could not score a goal. I can only hope that the fans will accompany the coaching staff and the team. In the future, we will show a better side ," said Bui Hoang Viet Anh.

Bui Hoang Viet Anh is the best player among the 5 defenders of the Vietnamese team. He often stops Rafael Struick as well as Marsenlino Ferdinan. At the end of the match, he sprinted from the opponent's penalty area back to his own field and saved the Vietnamese team from a goal. However, Viet Anh could not fill the many gaps that Thanh Binh and Tuan Tai exposed.

The Vietnamese team was eliminated early after two consecutive defeats. Coach Troussier and his team lost the head-to-head record to the second and third-placed teams, Japan and Indonesia. In the final match, the Vietnamese team faced the Iraqi team and this match was just a formality.
