Coach Park Hang Seo warns his players before the match against Australia
Coach Park Hang Seo spent the whole morning this week learning lessons from the loss to U23 Korea and especially analyzing his opponent U23 Australia, who he will meet on January 14.
These will still be limitations that need to be overcome soon, because the next two opponents of U23 Vietnam have better physique and physical strength than U23 Korea.

“U23 Australia has many players with superior height and physique compared to U23 Vietnam. This is clearly a big problem because Vietnamese players often lack confidence when facing big opponents,” commented coach Park Hang Seo.
To face physically superior opponents like U23 Australia, Mr. Park emphasized that the most important thing is that U23 Vietnam must play confidently.
“Only confidence can help U23 Vietnam create a surprise against U23 Australia in the next match,” coach Park told his players. In the opening match, U23 Australia won 3-1 against U23 Syria to temporarily lead Group D.

Along with the reminders and lessons learned, the whole team also watched a video to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of U23 Australia. It is likely that U23 Vietnam will not have many changes in personnel in the match against the team from the land of the Kangaroo, as the main players in the match against Korea all played well.
This afternoon, the U23 Vietnam team had a training session at Kunshan Citizen Center Football Field, in Kunshan. With the organizers arranging the training session early, the U23 Vietnam team avoided the cold weather conditions in the evening like previous training sessions.
