Indonesian newspaper identifies "3 powerful weapons" of Vietnam team

Tonight (9:30 p.m., January 19), the Vietnamese team will play Indonesia in the second round of the 2023 Asian Cup group stage. This is considered an important match for both teams as they both lost in the first round. Only by winning tonight's match will the winning team have hope of competing for a ticket to the round of 16.

The Vietnamese team is rated higher than Indonesia because the "Golden Dragon Warriors" often win in recent matches.

Analyzing the strength of the Vietnamese team, Indonesian newspaper Bola published an article titled: "3 Vietnamese weapons that can destroy Indonesia's dream at the 2023 Asian Cup: Threat from the wings", with the following content:

"There are three players in the Vietnamese team who can cause trouble for Indonesia in the upcoming match. Two of them are fast wingers.

In fact, these players played quite well when the Vietnamese team faced the Japanese team not long ago. Who are they?

Nguyen Dinh Bac

Nguyen Dinh Bac was the one who scored the first goal for the Vietnamese team against Japan a few days ago. Although he is only 1.77m tall, he has good heading ability.

Japanese goalkeeper Zion Suzuki really felt the danger from Nguyen Dinh Bac's header a few days ago. The player who has 5 caps for Vietnam headed the ball into the top corner of the Japanese goal.

This winger is also very skillful. Nguyen Dinh Bac can be a threat to the Indonesian team's defense in the upcoming match.

Pham Tuan Hai

The Vietnamese team lost many important players preparing for the 2023 Asian Cup, including key striker Nguyen Tien Linh.

However, coach Philippe Troussier was not worried. The French strategist experimented with moving Pham Tuan Hai from the wing to the central striker position and got results.

The Vietnamese team has indeed lost Dang Van Lam. The half-Russian goalkeeper suffered an injury a few weeks before the 2023 Asian Cup kicked off.

However, the Vietnamese team has nothing to worry about. Because they have just received more energy from Nguyen Filip.

Nguyen Filip is a goalkeeper with Czech blood, he even had the opportunity to play for the Czech national team.
