The coincidence in the victory of U22 Vietnam over U22 China

(Dan Tri) - Before the victory last night (November 12), the last time U22 Vietnam defeated U22 China on the opponent's field was 6 years ago.

6 years ago, in preparation for the 30th SEA Games, U22 Vietnam surprisingly defeated U22 China of famous coach Guus Hiddink (Dutch) with a score of 2-0.

The player who scored both goals for coach Park Hang Seo's team that year was striker Nguyen Tien Linh, from passes from Ho Tan Tai, after sideline attacks.

Yesterday, the U22 Vietnam team won against U22 China again, this time with a score of 1-0. The goal of U22 Vietnam also came from a sideline attack, the ball was passed from the left wing to the center, the U22 China defender failed to clear the ball, before Minh Phuc rushed in to shoot and score for U22 Vietnam.

Currently, the U22 Vietnam team is also in the process of preparing for the 33rd SEA Games, just like our own case 6 years ago. In 2019, after defeating the U22 China team, U22 Vietnam won the SEA Games championship.

Currently, domestic football fans also expect the same thing from coach Kim Sang Sik's team.

A new generation of players is forming in the Vietnam U22 team. If in the victory over China U22 in 2019, Tien Linh and Ho Tan Tai suddenly became stars, then after the victory over the young team of the billion-people country last night, Vietnamese football fans expect Minh Phuc (the author of the goal) and Van Thuan (the person who made the pass) to do the same in the near future.

Up until the match with U22 China last night, Minh Phuc and Van Thuan were still quite unknown to Vietnamese football fans.

In addition, victories against Chinese football teams often help Vietnamese players gain more confidence. 6 years ago, Vietnamese football had never won the SEA Games (since the country's reunification), but after the victory against U22 China, Coach Park Hang Seo's team that year realized a big dream.

At present, U22 Vietnam also needs a boost of confidence, to reclaim the SEA Games championship title from U22 Indonesia. Our players have just gained that confidence after a victory against strong opponent U22 China right on the opponent's field.

Currently, the U22 Vietnam squad is considered to be as even as the 2019 team of the same generation. U22 Vietnam is currently strong in both attack and defense, possessing good personnel in both the front line (Dinh Bac, Vi Hao), mid line (Van Truong, Van Khang, Le Viktor), and back line (Hieu Minh, goalkeeper Trung Kien)...
