Match preview: Vietnam U19 women's team vs Thailand U19 women's team

The Vietnam U19 women's team will face the Thailand U19 women's team in the final of the 2023 Southeast Asian U19 Women's Championship. This is considered a "summit" clash between the two strongest and most stable women's football nations in the region. The teams' performance continues to be evident in this year's tournament.

The Vietnam U19 women's team played two group stage matches and one semi-final match, conceding only one goal and scoring 11. The match against Myanmar U19 was difficult, but the young players proved their mettle by defeating their opponent in extra time. On the other side, Thailand U19 women's team advanced from the group stage and quickly crushed Indonesia U19 women's team with a 7-1 victory.

The Thai U19 women's team has a distinct advantage in terms of physical fitness. The team from the Land of Smiles had an easy semi-final match when the Indonesian U19 women's team was reduced to ten men after a red card in the 4th minute. Their 7-1 victory after 90 minutes of regulation time didn't require much effort from the Thai U19 women's team.

The Vietnam U19 women's team faced another tough 120 minutes against Myanmar U19. Le Thi Trang's goal in the first extra time period helped her teammates regain their composure and secure a place in the final. This is a difficult problem for coach Akira Ijiri to solve, as the recovery ability of female players is always a significant obstacle.

However, the Vietnamese U19 women's team, with players who have played together for many years, is showing progress in recent tournaments. In defense, captain Le Thi Bao Tram always displays excellent composure. At the age of 19, Bao Tram shows many impressive skills and also frequently pushes forward to attack when needed.

Meanwhile, midfielders like Vu Thi Hoa, Ngoc Anh, and especially Tran Nhat Lan possess excellent individual technique and enduring stamina. The attacking line offers much hope for coach Akira Ijiri. Striker Ngoc Minh Chuyen regularly scores goals in the National Women's Championship despite being at a disadvantage in height and physical strength compared to her older teammates.

Hoang Van and Ta Thi Thuy are very young but have been given early opportunities to play for Phong Phu Ha Nam . Ta Thi Thuy's physique and technique are her strengths. As for Hoang Van, her lightning-fast speed and technique are enough to disrupt any defense. It won't be easy for the Vietnam U19 women's team to win, but if they play with focus and take advantage of opportunities, victory is within reach for Bao Tram and her teammates.
