Who has to leave the team?
Two players had to say goodbye to the Vietnamese team: goalkeeper Tran Van Luong and ala Ngo Ngoc Son. Although young goalkeeper Tran Van Luong has made a lot of progress, he still cannot compete with experienced seniors like Ho Van Y and Pham Van Tu. Meanwhile, veteran ala Ngo Ngoc Son suffered an unfortunate injury and was forced to give up his position to another player.
Players practice under the watchful eye of coach Giustozzi
During the training period ahead of the 2024 Southeast Asian Futsal Championship, the Vietnamese team showed excellent form when defeating the Australian team with a score of 5-3 in a friendly match in Thailand. This was the team's second consecutive victory, after just defeating the reigning Thai futsal champion - Hongyen Thakam with a score of 6-4.
Through these two friendly matches, coach Diego Giustozzi not only tested attacking options and team formation, but also helped the players get used to the pressure of high-intensity competition, thereby creating a favorable foundation for the Vietnamese team to enter the 2024 Southeast Asian Futsal Championship with the highest spirit and determination.
Head coach Giustozzi believes the Vietnamese team has improved, before competing at the 2024 Southeast Asian futsal championship.
What did coach Giustozzi say?
The 2024 Southeast Asian Futsal Championship will take place from November 2 to 10 in Thailand. According to the draw results, the Vietnamese team is in Group A with host Thailand, Malaysia, Brunei and Timor Leste. Meanwhile, Group B includes Indonesia, Myanmar, Australia and Cambodia. The teams will compete in a round-robin format to determine rankings. The first and second-placed teams in each group will advance to the semi-finals.
According to coach Diego Giustozzi, futsal teams in Southeast Asia have all improved, so the competition is higher than before. However, Vietnamese players have also changed and improved. "I believe the Vietnamese team will achieve their goals, first of all, overcoming the challenge in the group stage," coach Diego Giustozzi emphasized.
