Coach Park spoke humbly after defeating Guus Hiddink's U22 China
(Baonghean.vn) - U22 Vietnam defeated U22 China 2-0 in an international friendly match that took place on the afternoon of September 8 at Huangshi Olympic Sports Center, Hubei, China. After the match, coach Park Hang-seo made a modest statement.
Coach Park Hang-seo has deployed the players who are considered to be in the best form among the 23 players called up for this training session of U22 Vietnam. In the 3-4-3 formation, Tan Tai and Thanh Thinh play the role of wingers and this is also where U22 Vietnam's attacks start.
Both goals of U22 Vietnam in the 18th and 58th minutes were scored by Tien Linh, but the major credit belongs to the players who supported and assisted him such as Tan Sinh and Tan Tai.

After the match, Coach Park Hang-seo shared: “Actually, we have just focused on training and the main purpose is still to select players to prepare for the SEA Games. Today we won, but the most important thing is that we saw the number of players in the squad playing better than expected. I am satisfied with that.”
“The score of today’s match doesn’t say anything, because I know the Chinese team is missing quite a few players, especially those who are playing abroad. In addition, China still has a force of talented players who have not been used, plus being led by an experienced coach, so we can completely expect a good result at the upcoming AFC U23 Championship. Just through a friendly match like today, it is impossible to accurately assess anything,” said the Korean coach.

Finally, the captain of U22 Vietnam concluded: “In today’s match, the Chinese team controlled the ball more. As for us, we implemented a tight defensive strategy and took advantage of opportunities to counterattack. It cannot be said that we are the better team. We are still in the process of finding players and gradually training them in terms of organization to aim for the upcoming SEA Games.”
On the side of coach Guus Hiddink, the veteran coach shared: “We have a quality tournament, 2 good opponents to play against. Of course we don’t like to lose. Surely the players learned a lot. We need more time to fix our mistakes and improve in the next matches.”

Keeping a clean sheet and scoring 2 goals is an impressive victory for U22 Vietnam. However, the most important thing is that coach Park Hang-seo has made his own assessments of each player's performance to serve the SEA Games 30 campaign./.
Coach Miura's words about the Vietnam National Team have come true under Coach Park Hang-seo.
(Baonghean.vn) - All Vietnamese fans expected the team to win right on Thai soil in the opening match of the second qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup. However, the draw at Thammasat was something to be happy about, not regretful.
