Korean newspaper: "U22 Vietnam is superior to U22 China"
The friendly match between U22 China and U22 Vietnam attracted the attention of the Korean media thanks to the presence of Guus Hiddink and Park Hang-seo. These are two figures who contributed to the victory of the Korean team at the 2002 World Cup.
"U22 Vietnam was the brighter team and was better organized than their opponents. The Chinese defense was too loose and conceded goals easily. The home team could not even respond," Mk reported about the match.

The respectful gesture between coach Park and Guus Hiddink was mentioned a lot by the Korean media after the match in Wuhan. |
Meanwhile, Sports Khan did not hesitate to use strong adjectives to talk about the performance of Tien Linh and his teammates: "With a well-organized squad, U22 Vietnam carried out powerful direct counterattacks and destroyed the U22 China defense."
After the 2-0 victory of the Vietnam U22 team over China on the evening of September 8, coach Park Hang-seo and assistant Lee Young-jin went to Indonesia and Malaysia respectively.
The above plan is an important preparation step before the Vietnamese team faces Indonesia and Malaysia in the next matches of Group G of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.

Thai fans support coach Akira Nishino
There is no story of Thai fans "throwing stones" at coach Nishino after the draw with Vietnam. On the contrary, almost everyone agrees that the Thai team under coach Nishino is improving.
Even coach Nishino's replacement of number one goalkeeper Kawin with goalkeeper Siwarak was highly appreciated. His use of the central defender pair Pansa and Manuel Bihr in the 4-1-2-1-2 formation was also praised for creating a good game and dominating the middle of the field. If he had been luckier, Supachok would have scored.
