U19 Vietnam - U19 Jordan: All beginnings are difficult
Although the composition of the Vietnam U19 team at this year's U19 Asian tournament is not as strong as the composition of the previous two years, many people still believe in a favorable result for the Vietnam U19 team in the opening match.
*The match U19 Vietnam - U19 Jordan will take place at 4:00 p.m. on October 19.
Currently, the Vietnam U19 team does not have high-level players, like Nguyen Quang Hai, Ha Duc Chinh, goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung... of 2 years ago.
Doan Van Hau is still on the list of players for this year's U19 tournament, but the player currently playing for Hanoi FC is busy with the national team, so it won't be until the quarter-finals (if the Vietnam U19 team makes it to this stage) that Doan Van Hau will be present.
However, the most important person who made the success of the U19 Vietnam team at the 2016 U19 Asian Cup is Coach Hoang Anh Tuan, who is still leading the team today. Mr. Tuan is also the hope of the U19 Vietnam team at the upcoming Asian Cup.

The first opponent of the team under coach Hoang Anh Tuan is Jordan, a West Asian team that perhaps the representatives of Vietnamese football are not afraid of.
Two years ago, on the way to the semi-finals of the U19 Asian Cup in Bahrain, thereby winning a ticket to the 2017 U20 World Cup, coach Hoang Anh Tuan's team did not lose to any West Asian team, whether it was the UAE, Iraq, or host Bahrain.
Even the 1-0 victory over host Bahrain in the quarter-finals, with a beautiful goal by Tran Thanh, helped the U19 Vietnam team at that time enter the semi-finals, and for the first time in history, have a ticket to the U20 World Cup.
In general, when facing teams from West Asia, representatives of Vietnamese football often have luck and often find favorable results, because compared to representatives of Vietnamese football, West Asian teams have less good tactical discipline and easily lose their composure when in a disadvantageous position.
Coach Hoang Anh Tuan is a very good tactician, while at the age of 19, West Asian players in general and Jordan in particular lack experience and easily lose their composure.
Therefore, many people still believe in a favorable result for the Vietnam U19 team in the opening match against Jordan.
This will certainly be a difficult match for coach Hoang Anh Tuan's team, because there is no easy match for us at the Asian level. However, we believe that U19 Vietnam will know how to neutralize Jordan's playing style, and then achieve favorable results on the opening day of the 2018 U19 Asian Cup.
