Mistakes of U19 Vietnam in the match against U19 Myanmar
The 1-1 draw against U19 Myanmar was a disappointing result for U19 Vietnam in the opening match. And this is partly the responsibility of head coach Hua Hien Vinh.
The defense failed to complete the task.
Facing a strong and agile U19 Myanmar team, the U19 Vietnam coaching staff arranged a tall but slow-moving defense. This contributed to our team being confused by the opponent's attacks. It was this confusion in defense that caused Coach Hua Hien Vinh's team to concede a goal in the 59th minute of the match.
If they were luckier, U19 Myanmar could have scored more goals against U19 Vietnam. Specifically, the ball hit the goalpost twice against goalkeeper Phan Dinh Hai, who did not play very well in this match.
It can be said that the defense of U19 Vietnam did not complete the task in the opening match and needs to make many adjustments in the upcoming match. Especially when our opponent is the powerful U19 Australia.
The midfield lacks a real leader.
In the last match, the Myanmar U19 team chose a fast, close-quarters style of play and was not afraid of collisions. This made it impossible for the Vietnam U19 team to deploy their play against their opponents.
In that context, coach Hua Hien Vinh's team lacked a real leader in the midfield to control the rhythm and coordinate the ball. However, the U19 Vietnam coaching staff still did not make any significant adjustments until they conceded a goal in the 59th minute.
This was only overcome when midfielder Nguyen Quang Vinh was put on the field. The brilliant passes of midfielder Song Lam Nghe An helped U19 Vietnam have sharp attacks. However, the time Nguyen Quang Vinh was on the field was too short and could not help U19 Vietnam win the opening match.
Lone striker
When the midfield cannot develop attacking situations, it is inevitable that the strikers of the Vietnam U19 team often fall into a situation of ball hunger.
Occasionally, there were opportunities from the individual efforts of Le Dinh Long Vu or Nguyen Cong Phuong. However, in these situations, the U19 Vietnam strikers did not finish well, causing the opportunity to pass regrettably.
The goal that U19 Vietnam scored came from a moment of genius by midfielder Hoang Quang Dung. And it only helped coach Hua Hien Vinh's team get 1 point on the opening day.
With this 1 point, the chance of U19 Vietnam to continue becomes more difficult. When the next opponent of our team is U19 Australia and only the best second-placed team will enter the next round.
Hopefully, U19 Vietnam will make positive adjustments in the upcoming match, thereby achieving good results to be able to enter the semi-finals of this year's tournament./.
