U22 Vietnam dissected the tape, finalized the plan to play U22 Uzbekistan

On the morning of November 14, U22 Vietnam spent all their time dissecting the 1-0 victory over U22 China, analyzing key situations and finalizing plans for the encounter with U22 Uzbekistan at 2:30 p.m. on November 15 (Vietnam time) at the Panda Cup 2025. The focus was on adjusting weak points, consolidating effective tactics to prepare for the next challenge.

Focus on improving control and state transitions

Acting head coach Dinh Hong Vinh highly appreciated his players' concentration and fighting spirit, especially in decisive moments. From the video analysis, the coaching staff asked the whole team to improve ball control, increase transition speed and be sharper in the final touches. These are three adjustment axes that directly affect the quality of chances and the ability to decide the match.

These requirements are concretized through the dissection of statistics and key situations: when in possession, the team needs to maintain a rotational rhythm to maintain the initiative; when losing the ball, the transition must be quick and neat; at the back of the field, decisiveness in passing and finishing must be raised to make a difference against a well-organized defense.

Competitor analysis and the need to maintain initiative

U22 Uzbekistan just lost 0-2 to U22 Korea, but the coaching staff emphasized that this is still an opponent with good organization and remarkable technical foundation. Therefore, U22 Vietnam aims to maintain the initiative in pressing, control the rhythm of play and minimize gaps in key areas. The goal throughout is to improve over each 90 minutes, not just stop at the result of the opening match.

Message from the team leadership

VFF Vice President and Head of the Vietnam U22 Delegation, Mr. Tran Anh Tu, acknowledged the team's fighting spirit after the opening match. He emphasized that the Panda Cup is an important opportunity to compete towards bigger goals such as the 33rd SEA Games and the 2026 AFC U23 Championship finals. The team is required to maintain focus, ensure physical recovery and prepare carefully for the rest of the tournament.
