Korean coach: "Young Vietnamese players have very commendable strengths"

Participating in the 2018 U19 International Tournament in Pleiku, U19 FC Seoul brought to the Mountain City a group of young players with superior physique compared to other teams in this year's tournament. With the advantage in physique, the team from Korea easily dominated the technical players of HAGL or Mito Hollyhock.

Regarding physical fitness, Coach Myung Jinyoung said that it is a strength but not everything. Explaining this, the young Korean coach said that Vietnamese players also have their own strengths compared to his students.

Coach Myung Jin-young believes that Vietnamese players have their own strengths.

Coach Jin-young said: "Players with height will have limited techniques. Players from the Vietnamese team or other Southeast Asian countries have limited height but they have commendable agility and dexterity. If you gain one, you lose another."

This coach shared that physique is only a small criterion in recruiting players, not everything. He said that in Korea, teams do not focus too much on height but on physical strength, only center backs are given priority for height.

In yesterday's match, March 28, U19 FC Seoul of Coach Myung Jin-young defeated Mito Hollyhock with a score of 3-0, thereby closing 4 matches at the 2018 International U.19 Tournament, the Korean players won 3 matches and won the runner-up position.
