Vietnam team's chance to "destroy" Indonesia
At 4:30 pm yesterday, the Vietnamese team had their second training session at Gelora Samudra Stadium (Bali) to prepare for the match against Indonesia. Midfielder Nguyen Tuan Anh still had to practice separately with doctor Choi Ju Young. Apart from Tuan Anh, the other players of the Vietnamese team practiced normally.

The defense is one of Indonesia's most unstable lines of play. Especially in the goalkeeper position, both Indonesian goalkeepers, Andritany Ardhiyasa and Henry Hendrawan are in poor form.
The human resource crisis of the Indonesian team will be a great opportunity for the Vietnamese team to defeat Indonesia, breaking the "curse" of not winning in the past decade.
Coach Darby believes the chance to beat Indonesia is within reach of the Vietnamese team.
The British strategist believes that the Vietnamese team can exploit the organizational weakness of the Indonesian team to defeat their opponents.
"The Vietnamese team is very well organized. I think they can win 3 points against Indonesia. When being pushed into a corner, the Indonesian team will focus all their energy on the attack. At that time, opportunities will open up for the Vietnamese team through counter-attacks," said former coach Steve Darby.
The spirit of the Vietnamese team is high thanks to the victory over Malaysia. With the momentum, the Vietnamese team can win again against the team from the archipelago in the match taking place on October 15.
Indonesia only has 2 naturalized players when playing against Vietnam
Despite the massive naturalization process, the Indonesian national team will only have two of them on the registration list for the match against Vietnam.
