Vietnam team may fall into the same group with Thailand at Asian Cup 2019.

Vietnam may face Thailand in the group stage of Asian Cup 2019

The Vietnamese team can completely face Thailand in the group stage of the 2019 Asian Cup. According to preliminary calculations, the Vietnamese team is in the third seed group before the 2019 Asian Cup draw. Meanwhile, two other Southeast Asian teams, Thailand and the Philippines, are in the fourth seed group.

If Australia is included, the possibility of forming a group with 3 Southeast Asian representatives is entirely possible.

However, being in group 3 also gives the Vietnamese team its own advantages. Because 4 very strong teams, Uzbekistan, Iraq, Qatar and North Korea, unexpectedly fell into this group.

On the contrary, group 2 includes mid-level teams of the continent such as China, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Oman or Syria, the team that Vietnam won 2-0 in 2016.

Coach Graechen disappointed with JMG's 3rd batch

Coach Guillaume Graechen was disappointed with his players' performance.

Coach Guillaume Graechen expressed his disappointment with the performance of HAGL's 3rd generation in the HAGL U19 squad at the international tournament at home. After 3 matches, the HAGL young players suffered 2 defeats.

Mr. Graechen was disappointed: “I feel very frustrated. The players repeated the situation in Hue, they were afraid to play football, they could not maintain discipline. That made me unhappy. On the contrary, the opponent did not have many opportunities but took advantage of them to score 3 goals.”

Many people believe that the 3rd generation of HAGL does not have outstanding names like the 1st generation of Cong Phuong, Xuan Truong, Tuan Anh or the 2nd generation of Van Toan, Van Thanh. In many previous interviews, Mr. Graechen also admitted this fact.
