The Japanese coach actively urged his students, but could not help U23 Vietnam change the situation in the 0-2 loss to U23 Australia.
 |
Before the U23 Vietnam - U23 Australia match took place, Mr. Toshiya Miura sat down in the technical area to take careful notes. The Japanese coach planned substitutions for the match. |
 |
Then, he called the two central defenders Nam Anh and Dong Trieu back to instruct them, ready to replace them when required. |
 |
However, just a few minutes into the match, Mr. Miura was stunned in the technical area when U23 Vietnam conceded an early goal. |
 |
But Miura soon overcame that disappointment. He turned to clap his hands, encouraging his students to attack and put pressure. |
 |
And he was pleased when the U23 Vietnam players continuously attacked the opponent's goal. |
 |
Coach Miura then rushed to the sidelines to protest when the referee missed the penalty for U23 Vietnam. His reaction was unsuccessful, and he angrily returned to his seat in the technical cabin. |
 |
During the first 45 minutes of the game, Coach Miura was constantly shouting and instructing his players. He had to drink water at times because his voice was hoarse. |
 |
He waved his hands in regret as his players missed several scoring opportunities. |
 |
The strategist born in 1963 felt like collapsing after the first half in which U23 Vietnam played well but did not score a goal. |
 |
After the break, the weather turned windy and cold. Coach Miura had to put on a jacket to go to the sidelines to instruct his players. |

In his "new outfit", he kept shouting and urging the players. However, when things did not improve, his team conceded another goal. Miura was stunned because this goal almost decided the defeat of U23 Vietnam. |
 |
Losing 0-2 and stopping early at the AFC U23 Championship, the Japanese coach trudged off the field. Despite being underestimated in Qatar, Mr. Miura still set a goal for his players to reach the quarterfinals. But in the continental arena, reality showed that this was an impossible goal for U23 Vietnam. The team still has an honor match with U23 UAE on January 20 before leaving the tournament. |
