Will Coach Troussier's "knife up his sleeve" help U22 Vietnam defeat Indonesia?

Coach Philippe Troussier is showing that he has put U22 Vietnam on the right track after a draw with U22 Thailand in the final round of the group stage.

This is a match where the red team was underestimated but played very well, making the opponent work very hard to get 1 point.

Van Khang (red shirt) played well in the match against U22 Thailand

One of the important changes coach Troussier made in the match against Thailand was to let Khuat Van Khang play from the start.

At first glance, this is considered a normal rotation, the reserve players will start to keep the main players.

However, Van Khang is not as simple a card as he appears.

With this player on the field, U22 Vietnam's attacks become more flexible.

With good tactical vision, intelligent movement and accurate passing, Viettel players have connected the midfield and attack together.

He was involved in the two most dangerous opportunities the home team had in the first half, one was a cross pass for Ho Van Cuong to run into and the other was a header that missed the post in the penalty area.

In the second half, Van Khang also impressed with his ability to penetrate deep into the opponent's defense.

The goal that U22 Vietnam scored also came from a situation initiated by this young star.

That said, in the eyes of coach Troussier, the name of Viettel plays a very important role?

So why was Van Khang not used in previous matches?

Expert Vu Manh Hai and commentator Vu Quang Huy both commented that coach Troussier has not yet released all of his best moves and personnel plans.

Facing the Thais is clearly an opportunity to test and also a chance for Van Khang to prove his talent.

The effectiveness of this test must have been seen by everyone, U22 Vietnam is visibly stronger with a player from Hanoi in the squad.

U22 Thailand was of course somewhat surprised when Van Khang appeared and it is also unclear how Mr. Troussier will use his young student in the semi-final match this afternoon.

In the current U20-U22 generation, Van Khang stands out the most, expected to become Quang Hai under Mr. Troussier.

But the good thing about the French coach is that he does not rush to put responsibility on his shoulders but turns him into a "knife in his sleeve", capable of damaging opponents without revealing any weaknesses.
