"If they keep playing like this, the Vietnamese Olympic team will be going home early."

The Vietnamese Olympic team got off to a strong start at ASIAD 19, defeating the Mongolian Olympic team 4-2. Goals from Quoc Viet (a brace), Van Khang, and Nguyen Hoang helped Coach Hoang Anh Tuan's team temporarily take the top spot in Group B.

In this match, the Vietnamese Olympic team played an effective attacking game from the start, opening the scoring in the 3rd minute and ending the first half with a 3-0 lead. In the second half, the Vietnamese Olympic team conceded an early goal, but played disciplined football to secure the three points.

Coach Hoang Anh Tuan affirmed that he was not yet satisfied with some players who made mistakes and lacked concentration: "I have two things to emphasize. First, I am satisfied with the score. Second, I am very angry about the silly mistakes that led to yellow cards. I am not happy at all."

When the Vietnamese Olympic team was leading by such a significant margin, some players became complacent, leading to goals conceded. I reminded the players many times before preparing for the tournament, not just for this match. I always demand that they be fully focused; mistakes at such moments are not good at all and could unfortunately change the course of the game. In this tournament, some matches can affect the next one as well, and that's something to think about."

In this match, besides moments of lack of concentration, the Vietnamese Olympic team also conceded a goal in injury time of the second half after a series of errors. Young central defender Duc Anh received a yellow card after a tackle on an opponent on the left wing. In the subsequent free kick, goalkeeper Van Chuan failed to cleanly catch the ball, resulting in the Vietnamese Olympic team conceding a goal.

"Throughout this entire match, it's difficult to say who pleased me the most. Some players performed well, but others didn't. In my mind, I was only annoyed when players received silly yellow cards."

"I'm only satisfied with the score. But if the players continue to play like this, the Vietnamese Olympic team will probably go home early. That's why I'm still very angry," coach Hoang Anh Tuan affirmed.

The Vietnamese Olympic team needs to focus more.

Mr. Hoang Anh Tuan also expressed his opinion: "ASIAD 19 is a major tournament, offering great opportunities for the players. As you know, the average age of the Vietnamese Olympic team is the lowest in the tournament, only 20.3. Therefore, competing in this arena is very important for the players; things will not be easy. I am very excited and want the players to clearly feel the importance of this major tournament and this great opportunity to grow."

Even though there was only one fan in the stadium, I felt that they represented 100 million Vietnamese people. I was very surprised to see the group of Vietnamese fans in the stadium. The whole team was very moved."
