The total number of points deducted by Vietnam after two matches is 3.01. This number will be added to the Thai team. Mr. Polking's team rose to 113th place. In the AFF Cup 2020, the Vietnam team was also deducted 1.01 points after the 0-0 draw with Indonesia. The reason is because the position of the Indonesian team is lower than the Vietnam team.
Thus, the total number of points deducted from the Vietnamese team in this tournament is 4.02 points. The total number of points they were added is 4.33 points from three wins against Laos, Cambodia and Malaysia. Coach Park and his students still maintain the No. 1 position in the Southeast Asian region. Even if the Thai team wins against Indonesia after two matches, it still cannot improve the position of 113 much.Viettel Club says goodbye to 4th pillar in 2 days
