Indonesia's unexpected 0-1 defeat to the Philippines U22 team gives Vietnam's U22 team a slight advantage. Even before the final matchday, the situation in Groups A and C is almost decided, as the second-placed teams are guaranteed to only get a maximum of 3 points.
Therefore, instead of being forced to defeat U22 Malaysia to win Group B and secure the only direct ticket to the semi-finals, U22 Vietnam still has another way to advance. Just one more point in the match against U22 Malaysia would make Coach Kim Sang-sik's team the best-performing second-placed team in the group.
However, the "Golden Star Warriors" promise not to choose the option of settling for a draw. Because just one mistake or a moment of lost concentration at the end of the match could cost us dearly. Not passively accepting second place in the group, U22 Vietnam will enter the match with a fighting spirit to determine their own destiny.
In their most recent encounter, at the 32nd SEA Games in Cambodia, the Vietnam U22 team also brilliantly defeated Malaysia U22 with a score of 2-1 to secure a place in the semi-finals. Thai Son, Thanh Nhan, Van Khang, and Quoc Viet are living witnesses who participated in that match and are now once again at the forefront of the battle against Harimau Muda.
Besides aiming to confidently advance to the next round as group winners, the Vietnam U22 team will also want to avoid an early clash with Thailand U22 in the semi-finals. This is because, in addition to being a title contender, the Thai team also holds the home advantage, making them more susceptible to favorable referee decisions.
But before thinking about the next opponent, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team still need to ensure they don't lose against U22 Malaysia. A balanced game between attack and defense, while maintaining high concentration throughout the 90 minutes, will help the Golden Star Warriors achieve their goal.
Besides the efforts of each player and coaching staff member, the moral support from fans in Vietnam is also very important. Even if they cannot travel to Thailand, fans can still cheer on Dinh Bac and his teammates through live television broadcasts or theFPT Play online platform.
