U.22 Vietnam competes for the championship with host China, what does the person temporarily replacing Mr. Sik say?

Compared to the draw with U.22 Korea (1-1) a few days ago, coach Dinh Hong Vinh only made one substitution when he sent Nguyen Duc Anh to start from the beginning, replacing Nguyen Nhat Minh. The 3-4-3 formation with the 3-6-1 variation in defense once again became the support for the red-shirted boys to steadfastly fight back against the relentless attacks of the Uzbekistan team. During the match, the central midfielders of U.22 Vietnam played well, not being outdone by the opponent. The effect from the previous failed victory against U.22 Korea helped the Vietnamese players have a good mental state, playing on par with their opponent Uzbekistan in the first half of the first half.

In the middle of the first half, U.22 Vietnam began to create opportunities such as Phi Hoang's long-range shot, the ball bounced back, Viktor Le rushed in to finish but failed. After the first half ended in a 0-0 draw, coach Dinh Hong Vinh's students played better in the second half, when the opponent began to increase pressure to find a goal. In the middle of the second half, the U.22 Vietnam team sent Anh Quan and Xuan Tien in to replace Hong Phuc and Quoc Viet to refresh the lines against the opponent's total pressure. In the final minutes of the match, coach Dinh Hong Vinh took Thanh Nhan out to rest and reinforced the defense with right-back Van Cuong, preserving the score 0-0 against U.22 Uzbekistan.

With this result, the U.22 Vietnam team is temporarily ranked second with the U.22 Korea team, when both teams have 2 points after 2 draws and the goal difference is 1/1. The U.22 China team is temporarily ranked first with 3 points, while the U.22 Uzbekistan team is ranked last with 1 point. In the final match, the U.22 Vietnam team will meet the home team at 6:35 p.m. (Vietnam time) on March 25, while the U.22 Korea team will face the U.22 Uzbekistan team. This can be considered a successful and useful tournament for our young players in the absence of many important players such as Van Khang, Vi Hao, Trung Kien, Thai Son, Ly Duc, Nam Hai...

Interim coach Dinh Hong Vinh talks about U.22 China

Coach Dinh Hong Vinh said: "Through the two matches with Korea and Uzbekistan, I highly appreciate the fighting spirit and progress of the players. Both opponents are very strong, with good physical and technical foundations, but our players showed confidence and followed the tactics well. Uzbekistan is a well-organized team, rich in physical strength and possessing many technical players.

We have prepared carefully and the players have deployed their playing style appropriately. The defense played focused, maintained good team distance, and did not leave many gaps for the opponent to exploit. In attack, the team had some opportunities but could not take advantage of them. We watched the Chinese U.22 team play. They are a well-organized team, play disciplined and know how to take advantage of opportunities. They drew 0-0 with Uzbekistan and won 1-0 against South Korea, showing that this is a team with real strength and effective playing style. The coaching staff will carefully analyze the playing style of the Chinese U.22 team to have the best preparation for the final match."
