The overwhelming disappointment of U20 Vietnam
The 0-1 loss to U20 Syria caused coach Hua Hien Vinh and his team to lose their ticket to the final round. This was a very surprising result for experts and football fans in the country.
Located in a rather "lightweight" group with the presence of U20 Syria, U20 Bangladesh, U20 Bhutan and U20 Guam, the chance of winning the top spot ofU20 Vietnam is extremely large. In many aspects, the four teams mentioned above are not worthy opponents for the team led by coach Hua Hien Vinh.

Furthermore, Le Dinh Long Vu and his teammates also played at Lach Tray Stadium (Hai Phong). It can be affirmed that coach Hua Hien Vinh and his team had all the elements: favorable time, favorable location and favorable people. However, they failed to take advantage of those advantages to achieve their set goal, namely to win a ticket to the final round.
With a disjointed, monotonous and ineffective playing style, U20 Vietnam only had "modest" victories against U20 Bhutan (5-0), U20 Guam (3-0) and U20 Bangladesh (4-1). However, if they do not lose to U20 Syria in the final match, coach Hua Hien Vinh and his team will become one of the 5 second-placed teams with the best results.

Unfortunately, Le Dinh Long Vu and his teammates did not do well in their assigned tasks. Defeated by U20 Syria with a score of 1-0, after an own goal by Nguyen Ngoc Chien, the "fate" of U20 Vietnam had to depend on the results of the remaining 9 groups. And everything did not go as expected, when U20 Vietnam only ranked 6/10 in the list of second-placed teams.
Observing the journey of U20 Vietnam in the 2025 U20 Asian qualifiers, everyone noticed the incompetence of the coaching staff, especially coach Hua Hien Vinh. It should be noted that in the U20 Vietnam squad, there are a series of excellent faces, typically Nguyen Cong Phuong, Le Dinh Long Vu or Hoang Minh Tien.
It is time for the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) to terminate the contract withCoach Hua Hien Vinh, because they did not meet the professional requirements. Don't forget, the last time U20 Vietnam failed to pass the qualifying round was in the 2008 tournament./.
