Good signs of Vietnam team under Huu Thang

Faced with some questions about the mark of coach Nguyen Huu Thang when he took over the Vietnam national team, the coach from Nghe An has gradually brought peace of mind to fans about the team's strong and sharp form, in which the playing style is a very convincing factor.

Tuan Anh and HAGL players are one of the key players in Huu Thang's small-sided playing style.

If in the time of Coach Miura, the Vietnam National Team often played defensively, counter-attacking with the main focus being long balls, then when Coach Huu Thang took over, everything changed, where small coordination play was put first. In the last 10 matches of the Vietnam National Team, the 4-1-4-1 formation was often used and it brought high efficiency, when we won against stronger opponents such as Syria and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Especially against opponents of equal or lower strength such as Taiwan (China), Hong Kong (China), Singapore, and Indonesia, the Vietnamese team always dominates the game, creating dangerous opportunities that are superior to the opponent.

The small coordination style of play in which midfielders Xuan Truong, Tuan Anh, Thanh Luong, and Van Quyet have maximized their creativity and created opportunities for their teammates to finish has become a notable highlight of the team in the last 10 matches.

Xuan Truong is quite suitable for the Vietnam national team's playing style and he is a top passer.

In particular, with his sharp playmaking talent, Xuan Truong is emerging as the team’s top passer with 4 successful passes. Meanwhile, in the striker position, Cong Vinh is proving to be the perfect choice when he has scored 10 goals/10 matches.

Coach Huu Thang always puts the team first, so the short passing style of play has brought a solid position to the team, when the players controlled the ball on average 52% in the last 10 matches.

On the other hand, short football is considered by experts to be suitable for the poor physique of domestic players and can help them maximize their technical playing ability and flexible movement on the field.

10 matches with 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss can be considered a positive start for Coach Huu Thang. And more importantly, the small coordination style that this coach is applying to the team has created great confidence for fans in the journey towards the AFF Suzuki Cup 2016.
