U19 Vietnam fears U19 UAE 'colluding' with Iraq

Coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his players are not worried about the expertise, but the biggest concern is still the fairness in the age issue of the opponents, to put it bluntly, whether Iraq and some other teams are cheating on their age or not? Above all, whether U19 UAE is "colluding" with U19 Iraq to steal the achievement.

After what happened in the 1-1 draw against UAE, it is clear that coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team do not fear any opponent to play fairly. However, they are only afraid of biased referees, age fraud, and negative alliances like "rescuing the second-best player" between "allied" teams.

Meanwhile, even though they have shown a very good performance, coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team are still not sure, if not to say the door to the quarterfinals can close at any time.

According to AFC regulations, if two teams have the same number of points, the head-to-head record will be counted. If the head-to-head record is the same, the criteria will be considered, respectively, the difference in the group stage, the total number of goals scored, and then the draw. Specifically, if they win or draw, U19 Vietnam will enter the quarter-finals.

U19 Vietnam only needs to draw with U19 Iraq to qualify for the next round.

If U19 Iraq loses 0-1 and U19 UAE wins 2-1, U19 DPR Korea will draw with U19 UAE. In case U19 Vietnam loses to U19 Iraq by at least 1 goal and scores a goal, U19 UAE wins over DPR Korea by 1 goal and scores less than 2 goals, U19 Vietnam will advance to the quarter-finals. However, if we lose to U19 Iraq by 2 goals or more, and at the same time U19 UAE wins over DPR Korea, U19 Vietnam will be eliminated.

To explain the most frightening possibility: if U19 UAE wins U19 North Korea, we lose to Iraq by 2 goals, coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team will return home. Who dares to affirm that there is no possibility that the UAE "big guy" will "collude" with Iraq so that this opponent will play to the death with U19 Vietnam, achieving the goal that UAE is considering?

Had to overcome difficulties and wait for... "God's will"!

With Asian football, it is still a low-lying area on the world football map, especially in youth tournaments which receive little attention, negative situations still often occur, in which the most prominent problem is age fraud due to the disease of achievement.

Currently, the U19 team in Bahrain representing VFF does not have anyone with "influential" to be able to convey the necessary messages and feedback for U19 Vietnam to the Organizing Committee, when necessary.

Coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team went shopping at the mall yesterday afternoon.

Football is like that, it would be a pity if the extremely difficult journey that coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team have conquered is "doused with cold water" by unprofessional factors.

Coach Hoang Anh Tuan said he hopes for fairness and no “backstabbing”. At this point, the coaching staff can only encourage the players to maintain their true potential. And, the whole team still believes in luck, jokingly saying like many players that it depends on “God’s will”.

This morning, Coach Hoang Anh Tuan gathered a number of players for a closed meeting. The basic content was to re-evaluate the possible disadvantages that could occur. From there, many options for playing style, different formations, personnel solutions were proposed...

In the afternoon, the whole team will practice. Before that, yesterday afternoon, October 18, the players went shopping at the mall. This was a necessary move after two matches that took a lot of energy and effort from the young players.
