Applying the successful philosophy of U23 Vietnam into the company's operations
When the second semi-final match ended, with Uzbekistan winning, I was a bit worried about the U23 Vietnam team because although the other team is Asian, they have the style and playing style as well as the physique and physical strength of European players. This is really a challenge for the U23 Vietnam team with weaker physique and physical strength.

The team I hope Vietnam will face in the final match is the U23 Korean team because this is the team we have met in the group stage and Coach Park really has a good understanding of this opponent.
However, thinking carefully about the balance of power between the two teams, I see that the above thoughts are just subjective thoughts stemming from my love for U23 Vietnam because from the beginning of the tournament to the final match, Vietnam has played with different styles, East Asian style, European style (Australian players) and West Asian players, Vietnam has also overcome convincingly with a reasonable and confident strategy.
Before the final match, in terms of force balance, Vietnam was at a slight disadvantage when Vietnam lost defender Doan Van Hau, who had good physical strength and physique, modern tactical thinking, and was able to attack and defend rhythmically. In particular, Vietnam had to play a 120-minute semi-final match, almost exhausting the players.
On the Uzbekistan side, they suffered almost no losses in terms of force and the climate in Changzhou was relatively suitable for the players. They also played a 120-minute semi-final match with an advantage over Korea and did not have to go into a penalty shootout.
Overall, the balance of power before the final match is leaning towards Uzbekistan. Vietnam is at a disadvantage in terms of force and weather conditions are not suitable and favorable for the whole team.
Forecast results
Although Uzbekistan has certain advantages as I analyzed above, the chances for both teams are 50 and 50, especially since Vietnam has a mental advantage and a great coach who can motivate the players.
I predict Vietnam will draw 1-1 in 90 minutes and win 2-1 in extra time. There will be no penalty shootout in this match.
Applicable to company operations
As a business law consultant, Vietnam's success in a continental youth tournament has given me much to think about in applying football philosophies to business.
First: To do business as well as football, to be successful, the leader is the CEO and the coach plays an important role, they must really understand the business, convey business ideas and tactics to subordinates, in the business are the employees and on the football field are the players. A good coach and a good CEO have the same qualities.
Second: To have a successful match and a good business process, the company as well as the team must always be flexible, looking at changes on the field and the business environment to come up with timely and accurate strategies.
Third: To be successful, discipline in sports and business is very important, compliance and adherence to tactics and strategies in business and competition is one of the decisive factors for success.
Fourth: It is necessary to create motivation for employees and players on the field. Motivation is a great spiritual strength and will help the company and the team achieve their goals.
Fifth: A company is like a football team, working together with mutual support and assistance during the working process is very important. To be successful, employees and team members need to support each other, overcome weaknesses, and promote strengths to achieve common goals.
