Coach Gong Oh Kyun: "U23 Vietnam has not celebrated yet, because there are still matches ahead"

U23 Vietnam won 2-0 against U23 Malaysia. At the same time, U23 Korea won 1-0 against U23 Thailand. Thus, U23 Vietnam and U23 Korea are the two teams representing Group C to enter the quarter-finals of the 2022 AFC U23 Championship.

Coach Gong Oh Kyun answered at the press conference.

This is the match in which U23 Vietnam changed half of the starting lineup. Coach Gong Oh Kyun explained: “I thought about the next matches. Before the match, I had a plan to use the personnel appropriately for the match with U23 Malaysia. I have no special reason. The players are all physically fit and have good skills, so I made the change. I would like to emphasize again: We still have the next matches. And U23 Vietnam therefore has no reason to celebrate after the victory against U23 Malaysia.”

Will U23 Vietnam meet U23 Japan or U23 Saudi Arabia in the quarter-finals?

Finishing the group stage in second place, U23 Vietnam will most likely meet one of two teams, U23 Japan or U23 Saudi Arabia, in the quarter-finals of the 2022 AFC U23 Championship.

The opponent of Mr. Gong Oh Kyun's team in the quarter-finals has not yet been specifically identified.

The victory over U23 Malaysia has brought U23 Vietnam to the quarter-finals for the second time after 4 times qualifying for the AFC U23 Championship. According to the draw code, the second team in Group C will meet the first team in Group D in the quarter-finals of this tournament.

Up to this point, the opponent of Mr. Gong Oh Kyun's team in the quarterfinals has not been specifically identified. However, U23 Vietnam will most likely meet one of two teams: U23 Japan or U23 Saudi Arabia, although in theory U23 UAE can still win Group D.
