Former SLNA coach Nguyen Thanh Vinh: 'U23 Vietnam will earn 1 - 3 points'
(Baonghean.vn) - Before the match between U23 Vietnam and U23 UAE took place, expert Nguyen Thanh Vinh had a short conversation with Nghe An Newspaper regarding this match.
- How do you rate the strength of U23 UAE?
As a team from the West Asian region, the U23 UAE players are mostly tall and strong, but possess a solid foundation of individual technique. Coach Park Hang-seo and his team are no strangers to U23 UAE and U23 UAE is no stranger to Coach Park Hang-seo and his team, as the two teams have met in a friendly match at Thong Nhat Stadium at the end of 2019 (1-1 draw). I think U23 UAE is not a formidable opponent for Quang Hai and his teammates.
- In your opinion, what tactics will coach Park Hang-seo use to deal with the technical, fast-paced playing style of the opposing team?

-So, will Van Toan or Tien Dung play from the start?
There is information that Van Toan is suffering from a minor injury, the truth is unknown. But in my opinion, Tien Dung is the one who has more advantages than Van Toan to start in the match against U23 UAE, especially with experience in international tournaments. It is very likely that Mr. Park will use Tien Dung again like in the 2018 AFC U23 Championship held in China.
-After a long time of injury, will Dinh Trong be named in the starting lineup by coach Park Hang-seo, sir?
If he reaches 100% fitness, Dinh Trong will definitely be one of the three central defenders of U23 Vietnam in this year's tournament. Dinh Trong's talent and class have been proven. In addition to his excellent defensive skills, Dinh Trong is also excellent at launching attacks with highly accurate long passes. Dinh Trong is still coach Park Hang-seo's top choice for the role of leader in the defense of U23 Vietnam at the 2020 AFC U23 Championship.

Coach Park Hang-seo and his team will have a draw or win against U23 UAE. Remember, our teams often play well when facing opponents from the West Asian region. This time, it will be the same. U23 Vietnam will earn 1-3 points and will definitely score goals.
-Who is the "opener" for U23 Vietnam, sir?
Duc Chinh or Tien Linh, the duo scored a total of 14 goals at the recent SEA Games 30.
-Thank you for this conversation!
