LIVE international friendly match U23 Vietnam vs Ulsan Huyndai FC
(Baonghean.vn) - The match against Ulsan Huyndai FC at 7:00 p.m. tonight (December 21) is a warm-up step for U23 Vietnam in preparation for the match against U23 Korea at the 2018 AFC U23 Championship.
At the M-150 Cup 2017 that ended not long ago in Thailand, Coach Park Hang Seo had some interesting experiments and especially let the U23 Vietnam players operate with a 3-4-3 formation. The U23 Vietnam attack played quite effectively, scoring 7 goals after 3 matches.
However, the 3-center-back defense often stood in the wrong position and made many personal mistakes, leading to 3 unfortunate goals. Among them, the one who left the most worries was Duy Manh. The strength of the 3-4-3 formation, in addition to all-out attack, can also be transformed into a 5-4-1 defense when the 2 wingers and 2 attacking midfielders retreat when facing strong opponents.
According to the latest information, while his teammates are preparing to play, Duy Manh, Ti Phong and Tien Dung still have to practice recovery. And so, they certainly cannot play against Ulsan Hyundai tonight. If the timely return of center-back Van Khanh, it is likely that the Korean coach will let this player play in the position left by Duy Manh because the Hanoi player did not recover from his injury in time.
U23 Vietnam's opponents in tonight's match will bring 18 players called up by head coach Kim Do Hoon. Among them are defender Kang Min Soo, who played for the Korean national team at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and defender Jeong Dong Ho, who played for the Korean national team at the 2015 East Asian Championship.
In addition, Ulsan Huyndai FC also owns many talented young faces such as striker Shuh Myeong (Korean U19 team competing in the 2014 U19 Asian Championship), midfielder Lee Sang Heon (Korean U20 team participating in the 2017 U20 World Cup)...
