Thus, we have successfully "avenged" U22 China after the 1-2 defeat against this opponent in the Panda Cup 2024. Coach Dinh Hong Vinh's team has more confidence to face two bigger challenges, U22 Korea and U22 Uzbekistan, in the next matches.
Chinese fans were extremely disappointed after witnessing their team’s defeat against U22 Vietnam. On Sohu, many people left their comments. One fan wrote: “I am not surprised that U22 China lost to U22 Vietnam.”
Another person continued: “The absence of some key players in the U22 China team cannot be used as an excuse to justify the defeat against the U22 Vietnam team. I do not understand why coach Antonio Puche fielded a team of 5 defenders and played counter-attacks. Striker Behram Abduweli showed a lack of sharpness when he missed several good chances. It is possible that the U22 China team will continue to lose to the U22 Korea and U22 Uzbekistan teams.”

A third person pointed out the home team's shortcomings: "China U22 lacked the desire to win, constantly passing the ball back and forth at home. I didn't see any player with good technique and the ability to make a difference. China U22 also didn't have any good combinations. The whole team's passing ability really had problems.
The next person commented: "The organizers' decision to choose the tournament to coincide with the National Sports Festival was unwise."
A fifth person wrote: “Even with God's help, Chinese football cannot get better.”
The next person expressed: "I don't understand why Wang Shiqin keeps making mistakes whenever he plays for the Chinese national team at all levels."
After the victory over U22 China, U22 Vietnam has the same 3 points as U22 Korea but has a lower goal difference. In the second match, U22 Vietnam will face U22 Uzbekistan at 2:30 p.m. on November 15.
