Comments on U22 Vietnam - U22 Laos (4:00 p.m. today): Smooth start?

(Dan Tri) - U22 Vietnam is the first team of the Vietnamese sports delegation to compete at the 33rd SEA Games. Coach Kim Sang Sik and his team are aiming for a victory to create a smooth start for this year's SEA Games campaign.

*The match between U22 Vietnam and U22 Laos will take place at 4:00 p.m. this afternoon (December 3), at Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok (Thailand). This is a match in Group B of the men's football category. Dan Tri will report this match online.

Men's football is the first competition at the 33rd SEA Games. Therefore, the Vietnam U22 football team will be the first team of the Vietnamese sports delegation to compete at this Southeast Asian Games.

In that context, coach Kim Sang Sik's team will be determined to win, not only to create a good momentum for themselves at the SEA Games, but also for the entire national sports delegation.

In terms of strength, Vietnamese football in general, and the U22 Vietnam team in particular, are much stronger than the U22 Laos team and Lao football. It is probably not difficult for us to win all 3 points in this match.

The remaining question is how will the U22 Vietnam team perform? Coach Kim Sang Sik will adjust how to find a replacement for captain Nguyen Van Truong, who was unfortunately injured during the preparation for the 33rd SEA Games.

Moreover, this is not a match that U22 Vietnam must win by a large margin. Therefore, Coach Kim Sang Sik will focus on long-term plans. It is highly likely that Coach Kim Sang Sik will field the strongest lineup from the beginning of the match, trying to break through the net of U22 Laos in the early stages of the match.

After scoring a goal, coach Kim Sang Sik will remove important personnel from the field and replace them with positions that the Korean coach wants to experiment with.

That is the reason why the U22 Vietnam team will not play quickly for the entire 90 minutes of the match against U22 Laos, nor will they overwhelm the opponent throughout the entire match.

It is important to know that, for professional coaches, when appearing in long-term tournaments, their ultimate goal is to reach the final and win the championship, not to play well in each individual match, then face risks in terms of personnel or have their cards exposed early.

Coach Kim Sang Sik is very experienced in tournaments like this. I believe that Vietnamese football fans always put their trust in the Korean coach. U22 Vietnam will win against U22 Laos, but it will be a victory with a moderate margin.

Prediction: U22 Vietnam wins U22 Laos 2-0.
