PV: Hello, our Vietnam team is about to step onto the field to face Malaysia. Compared to the AFF Cup 2018 period, how do you evaluate the changes and preparation of the opponent compared to before?
Commentator Quang Tung:Compared to about a year ago when they met Vietnam in the AFF Cup 2018, the Malaysian team has changed a lot in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. Firstly, in terms of personnel, they have new players added, in the central midfield position as well as the winger position.
Along with the personnel reform, perhaps they have also changed the quality of their play. They play more aggressively, more powerfully, more dangerously. And perhaps their balance has been built more stably than 10 months ago.

PV: After 3 matches against Vietnam at AFF Cup 2018, Malaysia drew one match and lost 2 matches. This time, they have made some changes in the defense and midfield, in your opinion, where is the problem of Malaysia's defense?
Commentator Quang Tung:I think that change has brought positive signals for Malaysia. However, when facing opponents of equal or better level, Malaysia's weakness, maintaining concentration throughout the 90 minutes, was not guaranteed. This was shown in the match against Malaysia, they had to concede the first goal. In the match against UAE, they also lost.
That proves that they are not perfect. Of course, football is like that, improving and progressing does not mean that it will be as desired. With each specific match, we have to look at each specific moment.
Reporter: The Malaysian team has just met the Vietnamese team in 3 matches at the AFF Cup and conceded 5 goals. However, we only conceded 2 goals in the first leg of the final at Bukit Jalil. In your opinion, what should the Vietnamese team improve and learn from those 2 goals?
Commentator Quang Tung:I think it was just concentration. The two goals Vietnam conceded against Malaysia at Bukit Jalil were both situations where we were lax, when we had a good gap (2 goals first). However, we must also look back, during the competition at the AFF Cup 2018, there were only 2 moments when Vietnam did not control the situation well.

Otherwise, most of us maintained stability in defense, conceded very little and left ourselves in such an impossible situation. From there, let the opponent develop their strengths, for example, Safawi's free kick (11).
These are the points that the Vietnam team can completely improve. We have learned lessons and gained experience. The problem is how we can control the game and dominate the match. Of course, along with that is maintaining stability. Coach Park Hang-seo's team always does very well, maintaining stability at a high level, especially in defense.
Reporter: In this training session, the Vietnamese national team's striker Phan Van Duc is absent due to injury. How do you evaluate the role of this player in the team and which player can take on the role of stirring up the opponent's defense?
Commentator Quang Tung:From the U23 Vietnam team to the national team, Phan Van Duc plays an extremely important role. He is the second striker who can stir up and solve situations for the attacks of the Vietnam team. When Van Duc is injured, this affects a lot. SLNA Club is also affected a lot by his absence since the beginning of the season.
The same goes for the Vietnam national team, we have difficulty finding a domestic player with good attacking ability, but up to now, both new and old players have encountered certain difficulties. This is a big question, Anh Duc is also old, and his injury has not really fully recovered. Tien Linh does not have a high level of stability. Ha Duc Chinh has not fully affirmed his position in the national team.

Other cases are also very fragile. We see that when Cong Phuong went to Belgium, he did not play much, which affected his performance and feeling. Therefore, finding a real troublemaker to share the fire with the striker position is a very difficult problem for Mr. Park at this time.
However, we are not without talent, the problem is how we arrange the game appropriately. I think this is the problem that Quang Hai needs to demonstrate and develop. Because with Quang Hai, people imagine that he can play low, to connect, to create situations from the second line.
Personally, Quang Hai would be more dangerous if he was freed up and got closer to the opponent's goal. He would have to be more active with his chances and shots within 20m.

After completing his mission at Hanoi FC, this is the time for Quang Hai to fully concentrate on the matches of the Vietnam National Team. So in the upcoming match, I expect Quang Hai, expect him to work harder, must be different from the match against Thailand. In terms of tactics, we really need Quang Hai's role.
Reporter: When Coach Park did not register Van Kien and Xuan Manh for the match against Malaysia but kept midfielder and rookie Trong Hung. In your opinion, is this player a second Phan Van Duc of the Vietnam National Team? He just joined the U22 team, went straight to the national team and was registered.
Commentator Quang Tung:This is a factor that we often see in Coach Park's preparation. If he has enough time, he always creates opportunities for a young player, a new factor. We can completely expect a player like Trong Hung because the opponent is still unclear in terms of information.

Such young players, combined with their desire to compete and their individual qualities, combined with the tactical ideas that Mr. Park has equipped them with, can absolutely create a highlight for them, in the final stages of the match for example. This is the usual preparation of an experienced coach. However, I think that factor is only option 2.
Everything needs to be basically resolved with the main squad. The most important options need to be resolved early in the match. At that time, Coach Park can completely create opportunities for backup options like Trong Hung. However, I still expect more from the way to prepare for the match in option 1.
PV: From your perspective, which faces on the Malaysian team's side do the Vietnamese team's defense need to be most wary of?
Commentator Quang Tung:There are some very notable players in the Malaysian squad. Most notably Sumareh, a naturalized player of Gambian origin, has great speed and physical strength. This attacking spearhead can cause Vietnam a lot of trouble in defense on the left wing. In that position, if we do not have support from many layers and timely cover, we may have difficulties.

Not to mention Syafiq (20), this player is smaller, younger and I like this player. He is left-footed, has a lot of potential and plays with a very good mindset. He is a player who I think on a good day can do a lot.
We have to pay attention to many things, not just one individual, but Malaysia's strongest point at the moment is still the speed factor. They go down the flank very quickly, they have mid-range crosses that go very hard, with relatively high accuracy. If we cannot stop them soon, things will become very complicated inside. I think Coach Park and his team understand this and probably have a suitable plan.
PV: This time, when playing Malaysia again in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, it is not a match like in the Southeast Asian framework. In your opinion, what is the advantage of the Vietnam team? In your imagination, what will the result be?
Commentator Quang Tung:In this match, our advantage is home field. Our advantage is that the team that beat them is the current Southeast Asian champion. However, we also need to have a more specific view of the process of building the Malaysian team. That can help the Vietnamese team assess the opponent accurately and approach the match properly.
I think that this is a match that Vietnam will win, the difference could even be 2 goals. Remember, we are playing with the mentality of the AFF Cup champion, after all, we are a team with a higher level, standard and position than Malaysia.
Thanks for sharing!
