(Baonghean.vn) - Less than 2 days after winning 5-1 against U20 Hong Kong, our young players have to continue playing the second match in Group F of the U20 Asia qualifiers. Facing a weaker opponent - U20 Timor Leste, coach Dinh The Nam will have the opportunity to test new personnel in the squad.

The tight schedule has forced the coaching staff of the U20 Vietnam team to consider rotating the squad to keep the players' energy. After the 5-1 victory over U20 Hong Kong, coach Dinh The Nam has probably shaped the squad to prepare for the "final" match of Group F against host U20 Indonesia. Therefore, this match against U20 Timor Leste will be an opportunity for young players who did not play in the first match to take the field and prove their abilities.

In the goalkeeper position, Doan Huy Hoang is still the one trusted by the coaching staff of the Vietnam team. This is a position that does not require too much effort, so playing regularly will help the goalkeeper of Viettel Club become more stable.

Meanwhile, the two full-backs Van Cuong and Bao Long will probably be rested by coach Dinh The Nam in this match after being very active in the match against U20 Hong Kong. In addition, U20 Indonesia's playing style uses a lot of situations of going down the two wings, so it is completely understandable to let the pair of full-backs rest in this match.

In midfield, the two most outstanding players of U20 Vietnam areDinh Xuan Tienand Khuat Van Khang may continue to be used by the coaching staff but only in one half or the last few minutes of the match to ensure the fitness and maintain the feeling of this duo. Other midfielders such as Thai Son, Duc Phu, Xuan Bac or Van Tu can still help U20 Vietnam have an overwhelming match against U20 Timor Leste. Unfortunately for our young team, midfielder Dinh Bac suffered a serious injury and officially missed the matches in the U20 Asia qualifiers this time.

Similar to the midfield, Thanh Nhan and Quoc Viet are likely to be rested in the attack to save their strength for the final match. The chosen replacements are Bui Vi Hao and Le Quang Hien. The match against U20 Timor Leste will be an opportunity for these young strikers to practice and find their best feeling after not playing in the first match.

Our opponent in the second round is U20 Timor Leste, who just lost 0-4 to U20 Indonesia. This is a match in which despite their best efforts, the level of U20 Timor Leste was too different, so U20 Timor Leste could not show much. Although the defense played with a large number of players, they still revealed many loopholes for the U20 Indonesia strikers to exploit. In addition, the number of times the strikers attacked could be counted on the fingers and almost did not pose any threat to the U20 Indonesia defense. A point worth noting for coach Dinh The Nam and his team is that U20 Timor Leste's playing style is quite harsh. Therefore, our players need to minimize collisions to avoid unfortunate injuries that may occur.

In addition to the goal of winning against U20 Timor Leste, even a big win, preserving the team's strength for the "Group F final" match with Indonesia is also a very important task of the team's coaching staff.U20 VietnamHopefully, with the "cool hand" of coach Dinh The Nam, U20 Vietnam will continue to achieve success in the upcoming period.

The match between U20 Vietnam and U20 Timor Leste will take place at 16:00 on September 16, 2022 at Bung Tumo Stadium.
