Vietnam U23 had a favorable start at the 2024 AFC U23 Championship with a 3-1 victory over Kuwait U23. This victory helped coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team gain an advantage in the race for a ticket to the quarterfinals.
Despite winning the opening match, what U23 Vietnam showed was not convincing. The cohesion in playing style and the smoothness in each pass of U23 Vietnam were not good.
U23 Vietnam scored 3 goals thanks to elementary mistakes of the opponent's defense, especially the goalkeeper of U23 Kuwait. Besides, U23 Vietnam still made mistakes in defense, typically the red card of Ngoc Thang.
U23 Vietnam has a good start at U23 Asia 2024.
Sharing with the media after the match, Coach Hoang Anh Tuan admitted the remaining problems of U23 Vietnam. Therefore, in recent training sessions, this coach is trying to help his team become more complete.
Vietnam U23's opponent in the second match is Malaysia U23, the team that lost 0-2 to Uzbekistan U23 in the opening match. This is a familiar opponent and coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team are highly rated by experts.
Remember, at the 2023 Southeast Asian U23 tournament, coach Hoang Anh Tuan's U23 Vietnam won a resounding 4-1 victory over U23 Malaysia to advance to the final. After that, we defeated U23 Indonesia to successfully defend the championship.
In terms of the balance of power, the two teams do not have many changes in personnel. U23 Malaysia is at a disadvantage after losing the opening match, so they will have to beat U23 Vietnam to keep their hopes of advancing.
When U23 Malaysia has to play offensively, this is also an opportunity for U23 Vietnam to promote their defensive counter-attacking style of play. With wingers with good speed and technique, U23 Vietnam can completely cause trouble for opponents in quick attacks.
Vi Hao is the hope of U23 Vietnam in the match against U23 Malaysia.
However, as analyzed above, if U23 Vietnam cannot improve its defense, we will also face difficulties. Because U23 Malaysia is a team with abundant physical strength, playing without fear of collision. If U23 Vietnam is behind, it is very likely that coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team will face difficulties.
On the contrary, if they can improve their weaknesses, U23 Vietnam can completely achieve favorable results, even victory. If they get 3 points and U23 Uzbekistan does not lose in the remaining match, coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team will get an early ticket to the quarter-finals.
The match between U23 Vietnam vs U23 Malaysia will take place at 8pm tonight, September 20. VOV Online Newspaper will report online, please follow.
