Vietnam team vs UAE: History calls the name of the red-shirt warrior!

Strong attack meets strong defense

After two wins against Indonesia and Malaysia, the Vietnamese team faces the strongest opponent in Group G, the UAE, in a match that will decide the ticket to the final qualifying round.World Cup 2022with both teams.

UAE has a very strong attack.

In the first leg, the Vietnamese team won thanks to the only goal of Tien Linh. However, in this second leg, the team of coach Park Hang Seo is predicted to face much more difficulties, because UAE not only has the home field advantage, but also possesses an extremely "powerful" attack.

The explosion of strikers helped UAE have devastating victories in the last 3 matches with a total of 12 goals. Remember, the opponents of the West Asian team are all difficult teams such as Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia.

Ali Mabkhout is the most dangerous player in the UAE's attack. The striker, who plays for Al Jazira Club, is leading the list of top scorers in the second round of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Asia, with 10 goals, accounting for 50% of the UAE's total goals.

Experts highly appreciate Ali Mabkhout and the UAE attack, to see that the pressure on the Vietnamese defense in tonight's match is very great.

However, Vietnamese fans are not too worried because we have experienced and brave goalkeeper Tan Truong. Besides, in the last two matches, the central defender trio Duy Manh, Que Ngoc Hai, Bui Tien Dung almost did not make any mistakes.

Up to this point, the Vietnamese team is one of the teams with the best defense in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Asia, having only conceded 2 goals after 7 matches.

Confidence in victory

In many aspects, the Vietnamese team is rated lower than its opponent. Not to mention that in this match, the red team is without Tuan Anh (injured) and especially without the guidance of coach Park Hang Seo due to receiving 2 yellow cards.

But with what they have shown, the Vietnamese team certainly receives the highest respect from the UAE. The first leg defeat is an expensive lesson for the home team.

With 2 more points, the Vietnamese team only needs a draw, or even a loss to the UAE to qualify for the next round if they are among the top 5 second-place teams with the best results.

But it seems that Quang Hai and his teammates want to do more than that. The Vietnamese team will enter the match without the intention of drawing or playing defensively, but determined to win, so that the historic ticket to the final qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup becomes the most meaningful.

Of course, it is not a simple task, but the Vietnamese team has prepared carefully for its ambition. With such a mindset, it is not difficult to understand why Coach Park Hang Seo arranged the strongest squad, ensuring a solid defense and the ability to create high breakthroughs in the attack.

Tan Truong is still the number 1 choice in goal, above him are the three central defenders Duy Manh, Tien Dung and Que Ngoc Hai. Quang Hai's return gives coach Park more options for attacking plans, and it is likely that the midfielder wearing the number 19 shirt will be placed in the center, playing alongside Xuan Truong.

On both wings of the Vietnamese team are players with comprehensive offensive and defensive abilities and good competition, namely Van Hau and Trong Hoang. The two attacking midfielders are Van Toan and Phan Van Duc. The player playing highest on the attack line is none other than Tien Linh - the striker who opened the scoring for the Vietnamese team twice against Indonesia and Malaysia.

The historic moment is only 90 minutes away for the Vietnamese team, and the yellow star warriors are full of enthusiasm to fight for the flag, to win and make a historic ticket for Vietnamese football.
