Vietnam Team - Malaysia Team 'Dull attack meets weak defense'
(Baonghean.vn) - Coach Park Hang-seo and his team are showing weakness in finishing, while the visiting team Malaysia is revealing shortcomings in defense. The match will take place on October 10.
The performance of the strikers is a difficult problem for coach Park Hang-seo. According to statistics, the strikers of the Vietnam National Team have only scored 2 goals in the last 3 matches. That was the only goal scored by Nguyen Anh Duc in the match against the Thailand National Team and the equalizer goal by Pham Duc Huy in the match against the Curacao National Team, at the King's Cup 2019. Coach Park Hang-seo and experts can hardly be satisfied with the performance of 2 goals/3 matches of the Vietnam National Team.
There is no denying the excellence of the defense of the Thai and Curacao teams, however, the main reason is still the ineffectiveness in the finishing moves of Nguyen Van Toan and his teammates.
The 0-0 draw with the Thai team in the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers, which took place on September 5, is clear evidence. If Nguyen Van Toan had materialized his delicious opportunities, the Vietnamese team would not have had to leave Thammasat Stadium with only 1 point in hand.

Fortunately for Coach Park Hang-seo's team, the defense of the visiting team Malaysia is not really solid. After 2 matches in the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers, against Indonesia and the UAE, goalkeeper Farizal Marlias had to pick the ball out of the net 4 times. Observing the recent performances of Tan Cheng Hoe's team, it can be seen that the back four Corbin-ong - Adam Nor - Shahrul Saad - Matthew Davies have not completed their assigned tasks well, especially in counter-attack situations.

Hopefully, with the home field advantage and reasonable calculations of Coach Park Hang-seo, the Vietnamese team will defeat the Malaysian team for the third consecutive time right at My Dinh Stadium. And Nguyen Anh Duc, Nguyen Cong Phuong, Nguyen Van Toan… will shine at the right time to bring home important goals./.
