Information around:
- Coach Guillaume Graechen of U19 Vietnam is cautious before the final match: “Our opponent Myanmar is having some advantages as they only have to play 4 matches in the group stage and have a longer break before the semi-final. Meanwhile, U19 Vietnam has to play 5 matches and many players are injured after the victory over U19 Thailand. Myanmar brings a good team to this tournament, I am especially impressed with number 9 (Aung Thu) - a player who is playing very well in this year's tournament. However, U19 Vietnam is ready for the next match.”
- “U19 Vietnam has proven that they are an excellent team and being in the final has proven that. I think this is an exciting match and the chance of winning the championship is equal for both sides. My team is ready both physically and mentally, and has plans to counter U19 Vietnam's playing style. As for how it is, you will see when you get on the field!”, U19 Myanmar coach Gert Ziese shared.
- Against the Myanmar U19 strikers who are very good at seizing opportunities, the return of central defender Dong Trieu after a 1-match suspension will help U19 Vietnam be more confident. Dong Trieu is the central defender with the best playing experience of U19 Vietnam thanks to the confrontations with young strikers of Arsenal, Tottenham, U19 Japan and this can help him take on the role of defensive leader in tonight's match.
- Born in late 1996, the youngest in the Myanmar U19 team, but striker Than Paing is considered a key player. Whenever the brightest star of the Myanmar U19 attack, Aung Thu, is blocked, Than Paing always knows how to "take over" to take on the task of scoring goals. At the 2014 Southeast Asian U22 tournament, Than Paing's two goals were very meaningful when he sealed the 3-2 win over Thailand and opened the scoring in the 3-0 win over Malaysia in the semi-finals.
