Looking back at Vietnam's heavy defeat against Malaysia

Huge disadvantage

Having to play away at Bukit Jalil butVietnam teamdid not have the strongest lineup. The efforts of the yellow star warriors could only help them stand firm until the end of the first half.

The fact that the central defender duo Nguyen Thanh Chung and Bui Tien Dung had to leave the field before the second half started was one of the reasons why our team collapsed. The Malaysian team scored 4 goals against goalkeeper Nguyen Filip to sink the team of coach Kim Sang-sik.

With this defeat, the Vietnam team has ended its 10-year unbeaten streak against the Malaysian team. But more worryingly, this defeat will put the Vietnam team at a huge disadvantage in winning a ticket to the final round of the Asian Championship. Especially when the first index considered when 2 teams have the same number of points is the head-to-head index between the 2 teams.

Coach Kim Sang-sik's plan goes bankrupt

Coach Kim Sang-sikmade calculations when arranging Chau Ngoc Quang, Nguyen Hai Long and Nguyen Van Vi to play in the attack line in the starting lineup. The Korean coach expects the agility and agility of these small players to help the Vietnam team have quality counter-attacks. In addition, this trio will also often retreat to support the defense to help the Vietnam team have a safe game.

However, this plan was only correct in the first half when the Vietnamese team had the best players in defense. In the second half, with the injuries of Nguyen Thanh Chung and Bui Tien Dung, the Vietnamese team's defense was clearly weakened.

In particular, the early goal at the beginning of the second half made the home team Malaysia play more confidently. The players on the yellow team's attack line such as Vitor Figueiredo, Holgado and Arif Aiman ​​had a lot of space to freely roam and the result was consecutive goals scored against goalkeeper Nguyen Filip.

It can be said that coach Kim Sang-sik's plan was completely ruined by the surprises that the Malaysian team brought in the last match.

Nguyen Filip is unlucky

The goalkeeper of Hanoi Police was one of the best players of the Vietnam team in the last match. Nguyen Filip's reasonable moves and excellent reflexes were the reasons that helped our team stand firm in the first half.

However, the excellence ofNguyen Filipcould not help the Vietnamese team get a favorable result leaving Bukit Jalil Stadium. On the contrary, this goalkeeper born in 1992 also had to receive 4 goals in the second half, thereby increasing the total number of goals conceded to 23 after 11 matches for the Vietnamese team.

In these 11 matches, goalkeeper Nguyen Filip only enjoyed 1 victory, 2 draws and 8 losses. It can be said that the goalkeeper of Hanoi Police is quite unlucky in the Vietnam National Team shirt despite playing very well./.
