The Vietnamese team had a forgettable Asian Cup, failing to gain any points in all three matches. This is the first time in history that we have failed to advance from the group stage at this tournament. However, author Gabriel Tan, in an article on ESPN, emphasized that the team has not regressed and still shows quality.
Author Gabriel Tan analyzed that the team is in the process of transition after coach Philippe Troussier took over from coach Park Hang Seo. It is commendable that the Vietnamese team has a fairly young average age, only about 24 years old, becoming one of the youngest teams in the tournament.
Although they did not win, Vietnam played quite well and suffered unfortunate defeats against Iraq and Japan. In the match against Indonesia, it was clear that the Vietnamese team could have played much better. This progress is a positive sign, showing the development and potential of Vietnamese football in the future.
Like Vietnam, Malaysia had an unsuccessful Asian Cup, ending up in the group stage. However, according to ESPN, the matches showed the team's resilience and progress. Although Malaysia suffered heavy defeats against Jordan and Bahrain, they had an impressive 3-3 draw with South Korea that will remain in the memories of fans.
China also had a disappointing tournament, failing to get out of the group stage and failing to score a single goal. The team was a huge disappointment and, along with India, became one of the teams with the worst results.
Despite the disappointing results, the progress of the Vietnam and Malaysia teams in the 2023 Asian Cup is a positive sign for Southeast Asian football. The young teams and unfortunate matches have highlighted the potential and development of these two teams. Hopefully, in the future, they will have better results and make their mark in the history of regional football.
