U23 Vietnam vs U23 Nepal: Phan Van Duc in the starting lineup?

This is a match that coach Park Hang Seo is very confident in, even when not using the strongest lineup and if they win all 3 points, U23 Vietnam will get a ticket to the 1/8 round of Asiad 2018 before competing with U23 Japan.

This statement is also true with what U23 Vietnam did on the training field yesterday afternoon.

Accordingly, the starting players in the opening match only practiced loosely and almost did not participate in tactical exercises. Meanwhile, the reserve team was carefully "taken care of" by coach Park Hang Seo.

With what has been prepared, the Korean coach may only keep a few key players in defense, and give opportunities to reserve players in the match against Pakistan.

The starting lineup of U23 Vietnam is likely to be goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung, 3 defenders Dinh Trong, Duy Manh, Tien Dung. Coach Park Hang Seo still uses the 3-4-3 attacking strategy, with midfielders Van Loi, Duc Huy, Xuan Truong, Minh Vuong. The 3 highest players in the attack line are Van Toan, Van Duc and Ha Duc Chinh.

This is not the strongest squad, but Coach Park Hang Seo's calculations show rationality and knowing oneself and the enemy.

With what he has studied about his opponents, Mr. Park is confident that using the above lineup is enough to win 3 points. In case U23 Vietnam encounters difficulties if the opponent plays defensively like the match against U23 Japan, the Korean coach still has 3 substitutions, and the best players will be put on the field to make a difference.

Before the match, the coach of U23 Nepal said that they will play offensively against U23 Vietnam. Coach Park Hang Seo also expects that from his opponent. Simply because if they play offensively, U23 Vietnam will have more chances to win.

Winning 3 points and saving the key players' energy to wait for the decisive battle for the top spot with U23 Japan is the wise calculation of coach Park Hang Seo. The remaining issue is the performance of the players on the field.

Vietnamese fans are expecting U23 Vietnam to complete its goal, get a ticket to the 1/8 round of Asiad 2018, creating a boost for the journey that is predicted to be much more difficult ahead.
