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 leaving 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 way U22 Thailand played under coach Worrawoot Srimaka was boring. The strikers were as bad as Vietnam's, but luckily we also had a good goalkeeper. Goalkeeper Nont Muangngam was trained in Nancy and has European level as a support.

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 play at SEA Games 29, 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 a real 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 astute in his expertise, but compared to Kiatisuk, Coach Huu Thang is still on par in terms of skill. “Thai Zico” has not even graduated from the Pro License yet.”

Despite winning the SEA Games, Thai fans and 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 World Cup. Sports in general is the same, Thailand and Vietnam are reaching out to arenas like the ASIAD, Olympics... SEA Games 29 is a tournament of fraud. That could also be the reason why for 4 years we have not been interested in hosting the SEA Games." - Fourfourtwo reporter concluded.
