A resounding 6-1 victory on Thai soil.
During their international tour in Thailand, the Top 10 Young Footballers 2025 team achieved an impressive 6-1 victory against the youth team of Muangthong United Soccer School. This was part of the journey of experiencing and gaining experience in a professional football environment for these young Vietnamese talents, as documented in episode 9 of the program.
From the very first minutes, the Junior team showed their dominance. Tran Quan opened the scoring with an accurate long-range shot. Immediately afterwards, the team's continuous pressure led to the opposing team's captain, Trunks, scoring an own goal, increasing the score to 2-0. Before the end of the first half, Bao Long scored a third goal, giving the home team a significant advantage.
In the second half, the game remained unchanged as Quang Huy shone with a brace, increasing the score to 5-0. An Phu continued to score a sixth goal, confirming the dominance of the Junior Players team. The opposing team only managed a consolation goal thanks to Pakawat.
A learning journey at a prestigious training center.
Before the match, the young players had a training session at Muangthong United Soccer School, one of Thailand's prestigious football training centers. Manager Virapol Cholubul said the center has a professional training program from the U5 age group all the way to the national team.
Coach Hong Son emphasized that this was a valuable opportunity for the players to experience a professional international football environment. Before the match, Coach Thawatchai of the opposing club deployed tactics on a tactical board, while Coach Hong Son had his players practice straight and diagonal passing combinations.
Experience the culture and spirit of sportsmanship.
Beyond professional development, the trip also provided an opportunity for the young players to experience Thai culture. Their first stop was the Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok, the venue for the 33rd SEA Games. They learned about the SEA Games Center, the operational center of the region's largest sporting event. These activities helped broaden their understanding of professional sports and the spirit of international competition.
A reminder from Coach Hong Son
Despite the team's resounding victory, coach Hong Son stated that he was not entirely satisfied. He pointed out important lessons to be learned: "Winning is good, but the players still missed many opportunities. Some finishing attempts were hasty, lacking composure in coordination and pass selection." These comments reflect the high expectations and demands the coaching staff places on the young players in terms of professional skills.
