It can be seen that they set a clear goal of allowing all the pillars to compete with strong teams, aiming for the upcoming U.23 Asia tournament. The goal of U.23 Vietnam was also partly achieved when they played very well in all 3 matches. Even in the opening match, the day when U.23 China was absent many pillars due to being busy participating in the National Sports Festival, U.23 Vietnam took full advantage, winning 1-0. If they had taken advantage of the opportunities they created, U.23 Vietnam could have scored more goals in the tournament.”
