Good signs of Vietnam team under Huu Thang

Before some questions about the mark of coach Nguyen Huu Thang when leading the Vietnam national team, the coach from Nghe An has gradually brought peace of mind to fans about the strong and sharp form of the team, 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 style of play.

If under coach Miura, the Vietnamese team often played defensively, counter-attacking with long balls as the main focus, then when coach Huu Thang took over, everything changed, where small coordination was put first. In the last 10 matches of the Vietnamese 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, Indonesia, the Vietnamese team always dominates the game, creating dangerous opportunities that are superior to the opponent.

The small coordinated play style 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-class 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 himself to be the perfect choice when he has scored 10 goals in 10 matches.

Coach Huu Thang always puts the team's spirit first, so the short-ball combination 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-play 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 the results of 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.
