Vietnam U23 will spring a surprise with their attacking line.
After defeating Laos U23 2-1 in their opening match of the men's football tournament at the SEA Games, the Vietnam U23 team will face Malaysia U23 at 4 PM on December 11th to compete for the top spot in Group B, where a win or a draw will determine qualification.
Commentator Ta Bien Cuong expressed great confidence in Dinh Bac after the young striker's brace in the opening match, and also believed that coach Kim Sang-sik would surprise the Vietnam U23 team with attacking strategies that he had kept secret and hadn't yet revealed.
Commentator Ta Bien Cuong believes: "After Dinh Bac shone in the first match, it will be the turn of the Vietnam U23 team to showcase new 'weapons' among the remaining players such as Van Khang, Thanh Nhan, Quoc Viet, Le Viktor, Van Thuan, or Ngoc My."

They will divide the firepower by moving flexibly around Dinh Bac – who will certainly be closely marked by the Malaysian U.23 defenders. The Vietnamese U.23 team will utilize Dinh Bac's ability to draw defenders away to create new attacking threats.
This will also be an opportunity for those under pressure due to poor opening performances to score points. Coach Kim's habits will likely change after the first match, creating opportunities for other strikers besides Dinh Bac to score and relieve the pressure."
The U.23 Malaysia team isn't anything special.
Also in his speech, commentator Ta Bien Cuong mentioned some rather pessimistic concerns from a section of fans after witnessing U.23 Malaysia's resounding victory over U.23 Laos.

He expressed: "Some fans are worried because U23 Malaysia won more convincingly against U23 Laos than U23 Vietnam. But football isn't a transitive property, especially since U23 Laos played completely differently against us compared to when they played against U23 Malaysia."
In their first match, the Laos U23 team deliberately played for a draw against Vietnam U23 to create opportunities in the next game, but in their final match against Malaysia U23, they launched an all-out attack, especially in the second half.
The shift to a more open and risky style of play, coupled with a less solid defense, meant that the heavy defeat for the Laos U23 team was normal. Therefore, we need to remain calm. In fact, I don't think the Malaysia U23 team is anything special."
