Thai reporters surprised because coach Huu Thang is no longer leading the Vietnamese team

(Baonghean.vn) – According to reporter Bee Uamklat, who is working for Fourfourtwo magazine in Thailand, coach Nguyen Huu Thang's departure from the national team is truly a pity for Vietnamese football.

Talking about the 29th SEA Games, although U22 Vietnam failed in the group stage, this reporter still believes that Vietnam is a strong team. Bee Uamklat said: “U22 Thailand defeated Vietnam, Myanmar and Indonesia to win the championship, which really surprised us. It was like a surprise gift for Thai fans because the style of play that U22 Thailand showed under coach Worrawoot Srimaka was boring. The strikers were as bad as Vietnam's, but fortunately we also had a good goalkeeper. Goalkeeper Nont Muangngam was trained in Nancy and has achieved European level as a fulcrum.

I also have to say that Vietnam was not as lucky as Thailand. However, I like the playing style of U22 Vietnam, it is a more attacking style of play than Thailand. I almost fell asleep watching U22 Thailand compete at the 29th SEA Games, but Vietnam is different. The gap between Vietnamese and Thai football is not as big as you think, just need to improve a little, the rest is good."

The Thai reporter also showed that he was quite knowledgeable about Vietnam's top coaches: "We thought that coach Nguyen Huu Thang would only resign from the Vietnam U22 team and continue to lead the national team, but that was not the case. I only knew when you told me. It was really a surprise because in my opinion, he is the best person to take on that position. Another person is coach Hoang Anh Tuan, he brought Vietnam to the U20 World Cup.

We also know that Coach Huu Thang is a talented military leader, although Coach Hoang Anh Tuan is more skillful, but compared to Kiatisuk, Coach Huu Thang is still on par in terms of skill. "Thai Zico" has not even graduated from Pro License."

Despite winning the SEA Games, Thai fans and the Thai media are still not happy about the flaws in the regional sports event: “Personally, I think we should eliminate the SEA Games and work together towards bigger playgrounds like the ASIAN Cup or the World Cup. The same goes for sports in general, Thailand and Vietnam are reaching out to arenas like the ASIAD, the Olympics... The 29th SEA Games was a tournament of fraud. That could also be the reason why we have not been interested in hosting the SEA Games for 4 years.” – Fourfourtwo reporter concluded.
