Coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his sharing when U23 Vietnam won the Southeast Asian championship

Sharing at the post-match press conference, coach Hoang Anh Tuan said: "The match was extremely tense, at this moment I feel extremely happy. Firstly, it is the first time at the National Team level that I have a championship title. Secondly, according to the strategy of the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF), it is aimed at creating opportunities for young players.

My joy and happiness is that through the tournament, young players get to play a lot and mature very quickly, because this is happening in the direction that I want. However, in the future, we need to strive for many more titles. We are champions, but the important thing is that our force is younger than other teams. I think that U23 Vietnam is the youngest team."

Talk about the situationU23 VietnamMissing the opportunity to score a penalty in the first half, Mr. Tuan said that the players were a bit nervous, but did not let it affect their spirit. Regarding the penalty shootout, coach Hoang Anh Tuan revealed: "The players have worked with me for at least 1 year, at most 3 years, so I understand the strengths of each player. In recent training sessions, you also saw that we practiced taking 11m shots. I rate the penalty shooting ability of U23 Vietnam as very even.

The main thing here is that I understand each player's ability and arrange the order when it comes to penalties. In the scenario, we are also ready to prepare for this situation."

Before the penalty shootout, coach Hoang Anh Tuan encouraged the players: "We're almost at the end of the road. We have a cake and just need a little cream to make it complete. Let's try our best and concentrate to get through this shootout."

Revealing his understanding of Indonesia's tactics, coach Hoang Anh Tuan analyzed: "When I watched Indonesia's 3 matches, I saw them play with 3 different formations. But the smoothest formation was in the match they won against Thailand. This is the last match so they will definitely use their strongest formation and tactics.

We are the same, this match has 11 best players of U23 Vietnam, we don't see young players in it, only in the second half and extra time will we see young players".

In addition, coach Hoang Anh Tuan also commented on goalkeeper Quan Van Chuan: "We often say that the goalkeeper is half of the team. I think Van Chuan's mistakes are the same as those of many other goalkeepers. At this level, I think we have to put our trust in the players, which means giving them the opportunity to correct their mistakes. We have to see that he is a potential goalkeeper not only for U23 but also for the National Team. If I had replaced Van Chuan after 1 or 2 matches, he might not have had the chance to win the award for best goalkeeper today."

When asked about using young players at important moments, Mr. Tuan said: "Football, sometimes you have to take risks and the risks in football of course have to be prepared. If I don't use young players, I certainly won't bring them along. So when I give young players a chance, I never worry. I always stay calm so that the players see me as a support. They see the confidence of the coaching staff and will try to play well."

Finally, coach Hoang Anh Tuan expressed: "I hope that in the future, Southeast Asian football teams will also develop like that. Youth football is my passion. Professional and youth tournaments are different, I like to lead young players. I want to give opportunities to young players, U17 or U18 players"./.
