Bui Tien Dung has found a way to counter Indonesia's throw-ins.

Ahead of the crucial clash between the Vietnam national team and Indonesia at the AFF Cup 2024 on December 15th, center-back Bui Tien Dung shared his thoughts on the team's preparation and the tactics they will employ to counter their opponent. In particular, in this match, the Vietnam team will face one of Indonesia's most potent weapons – the throw-ins of Pratama Arhan, which in the past caused Vietnam to concede a goal in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

In an interview with the media, Bui Tien Dung stated: "Regarding Indonesia's throw-ins, the Vietnamese national team has encountered them many times and has effective countermeasures. We will apply tactics to minimize the risks from these situations." He also affirmed that the team has thoroughly studied the opponent's set pieces and will have measures to neutralize them.

Bui Tien Dung emphasized that although Indonesia has a young squad with many new faces, they are still a strong team with a fierce fighting spirit. The appearance of young players brings freshness and unpredictability to Indonesia, so Vietnam cannot underestimate their opponent. The Vietnamese national team's central defender said that the whole team has prepared thoroughly and held a meeting to analyze the opponent and plan the tactics for the match.

Recently, in the 3-3 draw between Indonesia and Laos, Arhan's throw-ins once again posed a threat to the opponent. The Vietnamese team will have to be especially wary of these situations, as Arhan is capable of creating dangerous opportunities with long and accurate throw-ins.

With thorough preparation and tactical plans, Bui Tien Dung and his teammates are fully confident in their ability to cope with Indonesia, aiming to secure all three points and move closer to their goal of reaching the semi-finals of the AFF Cup 2024.
