U19 Vietnam will meet U19 Indonesia at 8:30 p.m. tonight (July 2). This is a match that is predicted to be very difficult for coach Dinh The Nam's team because the home team is considered very strong and receives support from Indonesian audiences.
Before the match, members of the U19 Vietnam team were tested for Covid-19 at the hotel. The results showed that all 37 members of the team were negative for Covid-19.
After conducting Covid-19 tests, the U19 Vietnam coaching staff held a professional meeting with the entire team to disseminate the team's playing style in the match against U19 Indonesia. Coach Dinh The Nam emphasized the fighting spirit of his players with the motto "play beautifully, do not play badly, do not show unsportsmanlike behavior".
