Overall, U21 Thanh Nien Newspaper is a team of many excellent individuals. Coach Phan Cong Thin also has a number of players with extensive international experience such as Quach Tan, Phi Son, Manh Hung... Meanwhile, the U21 Malaysian players are less famous because they have not had many opportunities to compete internationally.
But in terms of playing style, the cohesion of U21 Thanh Nien newspaper is not as good as U21 Malaysia. Coach Hassan Waras has left a strong tactical mark with a sharp defensive counter-attacking style. U19 HA.GL-Arsenal JMG, U21 Sydney and U21 Thailand all had times when they had to sweat profusely against the pragmatic but quite effective style of play of U21 Malaysia.
Therefore, although they are considered to be better, if U21 Thanh Nien Newspaper does not play with concentration, they may have to pay the price against U21 Malaysia.
EXPECTED LINEUP
U21 THANH NIEN NEWSPAPER:Van Cong, Van Dung, Manh Hung, Ngoc Hao, Nam Anh, Phi Son, Quach Tan, Van Thuan, Khac Ngoc, Van Dai, Van Long.
U21 MALAYSIA:Syihan, Bakar, Saad, Isa, Kecik, Azlin, Sathasivam, Mariappen, Krishnan, Hakim, Pula.
Coach Phan Cong Thin (U21 Thanh Nien newspaper): "Determined to play a beautiful match!"
“There have been criticisms and negative comments directed at the U21 Thanh Nien team after the loss to U19 HA.GL - Arsenal JMG… Personally, I think that is normal in football and depends on each person’s perspective. As for the third-place match this afternoon, U21 Thanh Nien will play a beautiful match as a farewell to the tournament and also an opportunity to prove their abilities,” coach Phan Cong Thin said before the third-place match with U21 Malaysia.
