Vietnam team's weaknesses seen from the draw with Jordan

The first thing that experts and viewers can clearly feel is that the 5-man defense of the Vietnam National Team operated tightly against a Jordan team that was superior in physique and good personal technique. The performance of Van Lam and Tuan Manh in this match completely helped coach Park Hang Seo feel secure about their position in the goal.

In the defense, the trio of central defenders Tien Dung, Dinh Trong and Ngoc Hai cover each other in a timely and harmonious manner. If Dinh Trong always knows how to choose hot spots, Ngoc Hai is accurate in aerial combat and interception, then Tien Dung is the player who helps the defense to have a certain composure.

When necessary, Ngoc Hai would come out to support Xuan Manh on the right wing and similarly with Tien Dung and Van Thanh. Therefore, the two full-backs of the Vietnam national team not only blocked the way to Van Lam and Tuan Manh's goal but also left their mark on the attack. That was the situation where Xuan Manh moved up, assisting Anh Duc to score in the 24th minute.

However, the defensive midfielder position was the weak point of the Vietnam team before and during the time when the Vietnam team conceded a goal. When Xuan Truong had to leave the field because of fatigue, Coach Park Hang Seo's students began to lose their midfield. At this time, Khac Ngoc was sent onto the field with the hope of being able to control the ball and regain control of the game.

However, Khac Ngoc is not the type of player who sweeps and recovers the ball, so he did not leave much of an impression since entering the field. His declining physical strength made it difficult for the midfield to get close to Abu Amara in time. The goal was inevitable after a series of long-range shots from Jordan.

In a few rare counter-attacking situations, Khac Ngoc confidently handled the ball in front of Jordan's midfield, while striker Anh Duc almost no longer showed his danger due to signs of age.

Khac Ngoc's weapon is precise long passes up front to the center forward and the two wings and in a suffocating match, a draw is also a great success for the Vietnam team.

A match that will shape the future national team, experience and maturity helped Anh Duc score a goal. However, for the 5-4-1 formation to work smoothly, there will be at least 2 positions that Coach Park Hang Seo needs to pay attention to, which are the person behind Xuan Truong or Khac Ngoc and the striker. Maybe at that time, Duc Huy or Van Quyet will be the chosen players./.
