Thai reporter: "Vietnamese football is possessing a golden generation"
(Baonghean.vn) - After the Thai Olympic team was eliminated from the group stage, the Vietnamese Olympic team became the only representative of Southeast Asia to reach the quarter-finals of the Asian Games. What do Thai fans and press think?
Talking to PV of Nghe An Newspaper, Mr. Bee Uamklat, reporter of FourFourTwo - the world's famous football magazine said: "I don't think that the Vietnam Olympic team's ticket to the quarter-finals of the 2018 Asian Games is lucky. They have proven that value from the U23 Asian Cup. If anything, the lucky factor is only 25% and the remaining 75% comes from the strength of the entire team.

In my opinion, this squad will impress at the AFF Cup at the end of the year and at the ongoing 2018 Asiad, if the Vietnam Olympic team stops before Syria, your achievements will still not be bad.
Not to mention Southeast Asian football, for an Asian team, reaching the quarter-finals is already good, but reaching the semi-finals is truly amazing.
Among the Vietnamese Olympic players, I am particularly impressed with Nguyen Quang Hai. He is only 21 years old and has left his mark when playing in the U20 World Cup. Another player is Doan Van Hau, only 19 years old and plays as a left back, left winger. This Vietnamese squad has a lot of potential and is still very young, from 21-23 years old.
I think Vietnamese football is having a golden generation like the Thai national team at the moment.
As for Quang Hai, he should choose J-League to play football if he wants to go to Europe, like Chanathip Songkrasin. These two players have similar playing style and technique, but if they want to improve, they have to do it step by step, because they are too young.

With Coach Park Hang Seo, he has brought the Korean style of play and tactics into Vietnamese football. The special thing about this strategist is to maximize the ability of each player; make reasonable substitutions. Therefore, I think he will use the Vietnam Olympic team to compete in the AFF Cup 2018. Just like Kiatisak brought the Thai U23 team and some key players in the AFF Cup 2014 campaign."
Regarding the Thai Olympic team, Bee Uamklat shared: “The current Thai U23 squad is not as good as the national team. The Thai U19 team is the same, there are only a few quality players, but the Vietnamese U21 and Vietnamese U23 teams are different, they have played in the U20 World Cup.”
