In particular, Bola - Indonesia's leading sports newspaper - pointed out 4 important weaknesses of the home team that caused them to accept a "convincing" defeat against U23 Vietnam.
The first weakness pointed out by Bola newspaper is poor finishing ability. "Like every other match, U23 Indonesia entered the game well with the mobile wings Rahmat Arjuna - Rayhan Hannan.
Raven and Hannan both had chances to score, but they could not beat goalkeeper Tran Trung Kien," Bola newspaper wrote, not forgetting to praise the Vietnamese goalkeeper.
The second weakness that Bola newspaper pointed out was the monotonous style of play. The newspaper even expressed dismay at the home team's long throw-ins, which made the game fragmented and ineffective.
"In fact, the team's long throw-in tactic was often used by Vietnam to steal the ball and counterattack. These situations were repeated over and over again, confusing and complicated...", commented Bola newspaper.
The next two problems pointed out by Bola were basic technical errors and the lack of creativity in the play of U23 Indonesia.
"The U23 Indonesian players often make basic, incomprehensible mistakes. They make simple passes that go the wrong way, then some dribbles to the sideline, but then the ball is lost...
Another problem is unnecessary fouls. This does not scare the Vietnamese players, but rather makes them more confident.
In the end, the head coach chose players who were more inclined towards speed than technique. This reduced the team's creativity," Bola newspaper commented further.
