Vietnam U.19 will have a top-notch fitness expert.

Despite angrily throwing a water bottle when Vietnam U.19 conceded an equalizer, club owner Doan Nguyen Duc said he was delighted to watch the young players compete against China.

Speaking to reporters, Mr. Doan Nguyen Duc said that the Vietnamese U19 team played better and better, much to the delight of not only the fans but also himself: “Throughout the match, the Vietnamese U19 team completely controlled the ball, forcing China to chase after them. I read in the newspaper that the Vietnamese U19 team controlled the ball up to 65%, which is fantastic. This proves that the Vietnamese U19 team is far better than China, superior to the team that beat Japan and drew with South Korea.”

Mr. Duc said he was heartbroken that the Vietnam U19 team couldn't win. But the way the Vietnam U19 team played left a lasting impression on the big teams: "Certainly, if they meet again in the future, the China U19 team will have to fear Vietnam. Today, they were only lucky not to be eliminated. Even Japan, a team that Vietnam has always lost to, will face difficulties against Vietnam in the not-too-distant future."

Following the success of the Vietnam U.19 team, Mr. Doan Nguyen Duc affirmed that he will continue to invest heavily in the players: "First and foremost, I will focus on addressing the shortcomings of the Vietnam U.19 team. This includes building a large-scale fitness center with modern equipment."

I have signed a contract with a French fitness coach, who will be in Vietnam in early November. The contract also clearly states: he must ensure the players' fitness so they can run well throughout the match, and that each player can run more than 10km per game.”

This football-loving club owner said that once the Vietnamese U.19 players strengthen their physical condition, they will be a very formidable team.

We also directly asked Mr. Duc whether playing beautiful football was causing the Vietnamese U19 team to lack the necessary effectiveness, leading to regrettable goals conceded against Japan and China. Mr. Duc said: “I think it has nothing to do with beautiful football, but simply because the players lack experience and concentration in the final moments of the match. In the future, mistakes like these will certainly be improved.”
