Championship scenario of U22 Vietnam

The problem is simple in theory: two necessary conditions—defeat U22 Korea and wait for a favorable result from the U22 China vs U22 Uzbekistan match. Compared to the missed appointment in March (draw with China in the last round), U22 Vietnam entered this rematch with more confidence.

Tactical perspective

South Korea U22 just lost 0-2 to China U22. That match exposed three core weaknesses of theirs: the ability to defend against high balls, the spirit of the game and the distance of the team. When the lines do not maintain a reasonable distance, gaps behind the midfield often appear, and the aerial duels become an easy weakness to exploit.

On the other hand, despite having just lost to U22 Uzbekistan, U22 Vietnam still left many positive signs. The 3-center-back defense system continues to be a fulcrum in aerial battles thanks to their experience in competition and the way they protect the space in front of the goal. On the offensive front, the coordinated moves have created opportunities, the problem lies in the decisive finishing step.

From the available data, the reasonable scenario is that U22 Vietnam can take the initiative in the tempo, take advantage of dead balls and flank attacks to approach the 16m50 area, exploiting the opponent's weakness in aerial combat. When U22 Korea tends to break down the formation, early passes behind the full-back or crosses to the far post will be valuable. The key is still the coolness in the final touch.

Areas for improvement

The ability to finish good chances is the key variable. In a short friendly tournament, small margins of error in the penalty area can decide the title. Maintaining discipline in the 3-center-back structure, maintaining distance between the lines and increasing the accuracy of the final shot are the three pillars of performance for U22 Vietnam.

Expected lineup

U22 Vietnam:Trung Kien, Nhat Minh, Hieu Minh, Ly Duc, Phi Hoang, Van Truong, Quoc Cuong, Minh Phuc, Viktor Le, Dinh Bac, Van Thuan.

U22 Korea:Moon Hyun Ho, Kang Min Jun, Jeong Jae Sang, Jung Seung Bae, Park Jun Seo, Park Hyun Bin, Kim Dong Jin, Kim Yong Hak, Lee Geon Hee, Jang Seok Hwan, Shin Min Ha.
