Losing to Iran U20 means losing everything.

“I know what the Iran U20 team is like and I also know who we are. You can see the Vietnam U20 team in the first and second matches. If we lose to Iran U20, we could lose everything. As I said in the previous press conference, Iran U20, Qatar U20, and Australia U20 all deserve respect,” said coach Hoang Anh Tuan before Vietnam U20's final group stage match at the 2023 AFC U20 Championship.

Vietnam U20 currently has a significant advantage in advancing to the next round, leading Group B of the 2023 AFC U20 Championship with 6 points after two wins against Australia U20 (1-0) and Qatar U20 (2-1). Coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his players are 3 points ahead of Iran U20 and Australia U20. However, Vietnam U20 is not yet guaranteed a place in the quarterfinals.

To advance, Khuat Van Khang and his teammates need to earn points in their match against U20 Iran. If they lose, U20 Vietnam will only advance if U20 Australia does not win against U20 Qatar.

In such a desperate situation, the Iranian U20 team could do anything, especially since they are considered one of the top teams in the tournament. Therefore, coach Hoang Anh Tuan reminded his players to maintain their focus.

“ The players are happy after the victory. I am happy too, but we have to control the players' emotions because our journey is still long ahead. We have to express our emotions at the right time,” added coach Hoang Anh Tuan.

Speaking about the secret to Vietnam U20's victory in the last two matches, coach Hoang Anh Tuan shared: " Respect, determination, and fighting spirit. That's everything."

Vietnam U20 will face Iran U20 at 7 PM on March 7th. The match will take place at the Istiqlol Stadium in Fergana, Uzbekistan. Vietnam U20 also won their first two matches at this same stadium.
