Indonesian newspaper points out the most dangerous Vietnamese player after the match with Japan

In an article titled "The two most outstanding players in the match between Japan and Vietnam that Indonesia must be wary of" published on A Bola, journalist Grega Nurikhsani commented that there are two names that coach Shin Tae Yong will have to pay close attention to in the upcoming matches. They are Takumi Minamino - who scored a double for Japan and Pham Tuan Hai - the player who scored the goal that brought Vietnam back to a 2-1 lead. According to the schedule, Indonesia will meet Vietnam on January 19, and meet Japan 5 days later.

"On the Vietnamese side, Pham Tuan Hai is a player that the Indonesian team must be very wary of. This player wearing the number 10 shirt is very smart in choosing his position. His goal when he penetrated at the right time to kick the ball back after the Japanese goalkeeper pushed the ball away is a proof," A Bola commented.

In the match against Japan, young talent Dinh Bac also played very well. Not only did he score a super goal with an extremely beautiful reverse header, this striker born in 2004 also had many dribbling moves that caused many difficulties for the Samurai Blue defense. However, according to A Bola's assessment, Tuan Hai is considered more formidable.

In terms of experience on the national team, Tuan Hai is rated higher than Dinh Bac. And his ability to choose a position is something that the Indonesian press is worried about, especially in the context of the defense of the archipelago team not having the necessary coordination because the naturalized players need a lot of time to integrate. Tuan Hai also made the Indonesian press very impressed with his convincing performances in the previous Asian Cup C1, with 4 goals, including a double to defeat Urawa Reds.
