Coach Hoang Anh Tuan surprised AFC with the "transformation" of U23 Vietnam
The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has given many compliments to coach Hoang Anh Tuan after the impressive performances of U23 Vietnam at the 2024 AFC U23 Championship.
U23 Vietnam has completed the mission of winning a ticket to the quarter-finals of the 2024 AFC U23 Championship after two wins against U23 Kuwait and U23 Malaysia.
After the consecutive victories of the red team, AFC praised coach Hoang Anh Tuan.
AFC believes that the tactical changes of the Khanh Hoa coach have brought a new breeze to the playing style of U23 Vietnam.
“The unique tactical change brought positive results to U23 Vietnam. Coach Hoang Anh Tuan showed his talent in the second half of the match against U23 Malaysia and U23 Vietnam deservedly won 3 points. The 2-0 victory and the result of the match between U23 Uzbekistan and U23 Kuwait also affirmed the position of both in Group D. U23 Vietnam and U23 Uzbekistan held hands to enter the quarterfinals,” AFC wrote.
“Taking the lead thanks to Khuat Van Khang’s excellent free kick in the 39th minute, Mr. Hoang Anh Tuan decided to let his team counterattack in the second half. This was a wise choice because U23 Malaysia also wanted to win. Then, the second goal came from a quick move in the penalty area and ended with Bui Vi Hao being fouled. Vo Hoang Minh Khoa scored from the 11m mark, sealing the victory for U23 Vietnam. Despite great efforts, U23 Malaysia was completely helpless against the game that Mr. Hoang Anh Tuan had built,” AFC emphasized.
According to the schedule, on April 23, U23 Vietnam will face U23 Uzbekistan in the final match of Group D of the 2024 U23 Asian Cup./.
