Former SLNA player Ha Thin: 'Cannot underestimate U22 Indonesia'
(Baonghean.vn) - Before the final match of men's football at SEA Games 30 between U22 Vietnam and U22 Indonesia, Nghe An Newspaper had a short conversation with former famous player Ha Thin about this match.
Commenting on the match between U22 Vietnam and U22 Indonesia in the final of the men's football event of the 30th SEA Games, former player Ha Thin said: "Although coach Park Hang-seo and his team are rated higher than U22 Indonesia, nothing can be predicted in football. Surely everyone has not forgotten the "shock" at the 2009 SEA Games final, when our team was unexpectedly and bitterly defeated by U23 Malaysia. U22 Indonesia at this time is similar to U23 Malaysia 10 years ago."
“Objectively speaking, the young team from the archipelago is a formidable opponent, with a cohesive playing style and many excellent players. Notably, the striker wearing the number 20 shirt (Osvaldo Haay) and the left winger wearing the number 15 shirt (Saddil Ramdani). With what they have shown in this year's tournament, U22 Indonesia is a worthy opponent of U22 Vietnam in the final match. However, I still believe in a victory for our team. The score could be 1-0 and the scorers will not be Nguyen Tien Linh and Ha Duc Chinh.”
