U19 Vietnam "exposed" again to JMG Ghana Academy

Starting with the strongest lineup, U19 Vietnam still could not win against their opponents of the same age from JMG Ghana Academy and accepted a 1-2 defeat last night (April 14).

Coach Graechen Guillaume's team welcomes extremely important returns. The defense was supplemented with Dong Trieu and Hong Duy. Together with Van Thiet and Van Son, they formed the "standard" quartet of defenders of Mr. Guillaume. The lineup of U19 Vietnam that started last night was also the starting lineup of the team in the U19 international tournament - the strongest lineup of the team up to this point. The system used was also a 4-4-1-1 formation with Cong Phuong playing the role of "number 10".

Looking at that preparation, we can understand the determination of U19 Vietnam. Facing an opponent who has defeated them twice, Cong Phuong and his teammates are very eager for "revenge".

On the opposite side of the field, U19 JMG Ghana still maintained their familiar technical and powerful playing style. Although they were at a disadvantage in terms of the game, the Ghana team still showed a huge gap in experience with U19 Vietnam.

As usual, Mr. Guillaume's students created many chances but could not convert them into goals. The players had to pay the price when Ghana scored two goals against Van Truong at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half.

Cong Phuong's equalizer at the end of the match was only for honor. U19 Vietnam left the field with a 1-2 defeat.

Anyway, this was a progressive match for the young Vietnamese team. Our players have gradually matured, played on par with their opponents and created many opportunities. After a long training session, the level of U19 Vietnam has improved a lot. The team will have another friendly match on April 18 before returning home on April 21.

U19 Vietnam starting lineup:Van Truong - Van Son, Van Thiet, Dong Trieu, Hong Duy - Xuan Truong, Tuan Anh, Thanh Tung, Duc Huy - Cong Phuong, Van Toan.

RESULT: U19 Vietnam 1-2 JMG Academy Ghana
