“It's disappointing that the brilliant achievements of the Vietnamese team disappeared in such a short time. Many Vietnamese fans were waiting for the match with Indonesia, but they were disappointed when they witnessed the home team's stalemate.", coach Bae Ji-won - a member of the Vietnamese team's coaching staff under Mr. Park Hang Seo - wrote on social networks.
According to the Korean expert, the performance of the Vietnamese team when losing 0-3 to Indonesia last night (March 26) at My Dinh Stadium was even worse than the first leg. The home team's lack of organization in defense and lack of offensive ideas was shown more clearly when the lineups could not maintain balance.
Vietnam team 0-3 Indonesia
The Vietnamese team's ball control rate is superior to its opponents. Coach Philippe Troussier's students also launched more shots than in the first leg. However, the effectiveness, fluency and intimidation of the coordinated attacks are not high.
Coach Bae Ji-won said that it was Indonesia who controlled the match at will. They proactively played defense and the early goal helped coach Shin Tae-yong's idea be implemented smoothly.
“Indonesia is expected to be at a disadvantage away from home, so it does not apply pressure and actively attack. They maintained a stable position, focusing on keeping a dense and organized defense. After losing in the first leg, the Vietnamese team had to attack more fiercely and Indonesia had carefully prepared for that.", Mr. Bae Ji-won analyzed.
“After conceding, the Vietnamese team made many hasty plays, trying to equalize instead of choosing to play carefully, stably and focused. The match took place mainly with long balls, crosses, and high balls.
The players showed their desire to pressure their opponents, but they lacked the moves to create opportunities with calm and stable coordination. When their physical strength declines, the Vietnamese team has more difficulty finding opportunities and also struggles to fend off Indonesia's counterattacks.
The Vietnamese team was once again defeated by Indonesia in their opponent's position. The Vietnamese team failed to show their playing personality and tactical superiority. The physical and mental strength of the Vietnamese team is also inferior to Indonesia's."
The Vietnamese team lost comprehensively to Indonesia.
The 0-3 defeat to Indonesia was also a milestone ending more than a year of coach Troussier leading the Vietnamese team. The French military leader and the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) reached an agreement to terminate the contract last night.
According to coach Bae Ji-won, Vietnamese football accepts defeat and this is the time to move forward.
“Now, instead of being disappointed and regretful about the results, it is important to choose a direction for Vietnamese football to move forward. Gaining glory and titles is very difficult, but losing them only takes a moment." Coach Bae Ji-won expressed his opinion.
