Vietnam Olympic team is weak and lacks focus

" I reminded the players very carefully about the beginning and end of the match. Right at the beginning of the second half of this match, it was the same as the previous match, the players showed inexperience and lack of concentration, " coach Hoang Anh Tuan said in the press conference after the match.

Vietnam Olympic 0-4 Iran

Mr. Tuan analyzed: " The goal conceded in the 5th minute and the fourth goal when the match was almost over are things we must learn from. I have had to say many times, not just this match, but whenever we meet a strong opponent, we must pay attention to the key points. Before the match, I reminded the players that Olympic Iran will attack very quickly. Unfortunately, in the last 2 matches, we have not been able to do that ."

Vietnam Olympic team tried their best against Iran Olympic team but still suffered a heavy defeat with a score of 0-4. The match result reflected the big difference between the two teams.

Coach Hoang Anh Tuan’s players conceded a goal in the 5th minute and faced continuous attacks from their opponents. In the second half, Vietnam Olympic lost 3 more goals.

Coach Hoang Anh Tuan is not satisfied with his students.

According to the coach born in 1968, the Vietnamese Olympic team clearly understands that their opponents are superior in all aspects such as body shape, physique, experience and age. The Iranian players come from a stronger football background, with a national team ranked 22nd in the world .

This defeat is a lesson for Vietnam Olympic. The players understand what is top-notch, modern football. Vietnam Olympic has become more mature despite having to go through unhappy emotions, this is not a game but a science .

According to coach Hoang Anh Tuan, the age difference with the opponent is something that VFF has calculated and accepted. He said: " Having an age difference is normal, we accept the game, the direction is to develop young players. Maybe this year, the players lost 0-4 but next year will be different. That is for sure. We need time, we need this kind of loss" .

Vietnam Olympic still has a chance and the coaching staff believes that the Southeast Asian or SEA Games championship will not be as valuable as the matches at ASIAD or Olympics. Therefore, the players need to continue to seize the opportunity. In the final match of Group B, Vietnam Olympic will face Saudi Arabia Olympic on September 24.
