What scenario for U23 Vietnam? Dinh Trong: 'Will do everything to be able to continue'

What scenario for U23 Vietnam?

Vietnam U23 did not play well against Jordan U23 in the second match of Group D of the 2020 AFC U23 Championship when they were held to a 0-0 draw. Currently, Coach Park Hang-seo and his team have 2 points after 2 matches, ranking 3rd in Group D, 2 points behind UAE U23 and UAE Jordan.

In the final match, the defending runner-up will face off against U23 DPRK. If they want to qualify for the quarter-finals, U23 Vietnam must win by at least 2 goals, and wait for the result of the match at the same time. So what scenario awaits coach Park Hang-seo and his players?

Group D standings.

If this scenario happens, U23 Vietnam, U23 UAE and U23 Jordan will have 5 points each. At that time, U23 Vietnam and U23 UAE will advance to the quarter-finals due to a better goal difference than U23 Jordan.

In the final scenario, U23 Vietnam draws or loses to U23 DPRK, Coach Park Hang-seo and his team will definitely be eliminated. The two teams that have qualified for the quarter-finals of Group D are U23 UAE and U23 Jordan. The first and second places in the group depend on the results of the direct confrontation.

The decision to sack coach Valverde was made just a few days after Barca lost 2-3 to Atletico Madrid and were eliminated from the Spanish Super Cup. In La Liga, the Camp Nou team still holds the top spot, but is being chased by rivals Real Madrid when the two teams have 40 points and are only different in terms of goal difference.
