BEAT THE REFERRING CHAMPION

In terms of achievements or reputation, of course, the Korean U19 players are superior to the Vietnamese U19. However, the Vietnamese U19 team does not feel overwhelmed because in the past year, coach Guillaume Graechen and his team have faced off against teams with even more reputation and professional ability than the Korean U19 team. Most notably, the matches against AS Roma U19, Tottenham U19 at the 2014 NutiFood Cup International U19 tournament, or Arsenal U19 and a series of famous "camps" during the training trip to England at the beginning of the year.

During the preparation for the tournament, U19 Vietnam has also gone through consecutive major tournaments with high levels of competition with top Asian teams such as U19 Japan and Australia. Therefore, U19 Vietnam is not under any great pressure when having to meet the defending champion in the opening match. Even after causing big surprises (winning against "giants" such as U19 Arsenal and U19 Australia), coach Guillaume Graechen's team can completely do the same when meeting U19 Korea at Wunna Theikdi Stadium this afternoon.

FULLNESS FROM DEFENSE

The playing style that U19 Korea has applied in recent years to maintain its "dominant" position in the continental arena is "all-out attack". With a strong physical foundation, they often organize attacks with very high intensity, even creating the feeling that it will never end to "torture" the opponent both physically and mentally. According to experts, any team that wants to have good results when meeting U19 Korea must first of all, stand firm against their massive attacks.

Therefore, the defense of U19 Vietnam this afternoon will play a key role in the plan to create a surprise. Although the most satisfactory defense of coach Guillaume Graechen is missing center-back Dong Trieu due to not having recovered from injury, the substitute Xuan Hung also brings confidence. The professional ability of this player as well as the coordination between him and center-back Tien Dung, or even the effectiveness of the entire defense, are all being evaluated as having surprisingly improved in the past 2 months. If the defense maintains good condition to neutralize the attacks of U19 Korea, the attacking players like Van Toan and Cong Phuong will have a foothold to think about the task of "shooting down" the opponent. Everyone knows that with the ability to create breakthroughs of the U19 Vietnam strikers, just one "right" situation is enough for them to make the opponent pick the ball out of the net. Hopefully this "scenario" will happen and U19 Vietnam will have a happy ending after the match with the defending champion.
