Comments on the match U22 Vietnam vs U22 Indonesia

U22 Indonesia is the first real challenge for U22 Vietnam in the journey at SEA Games 32. U22 Vietnam's opponents in the group stage are either below their level or lack the motivation to give their all. U22 Laos, U22 Singapore and U22 Malaysia are not rated as highly as U22 Vietnam. Meanwhile, U22 Thailand will face Coach Troussier's team when both teams are sure to reach the semi-finals.

The match against U22 Indonesia was a completely different story. The archipelago nation is overwhelmingly strong in Group A. They did not need much effort to win against U22 Cambodia, U22 Timor Leste, U22 Philippines and U22 Myanmar (only conceding one goal).

Live football U22 Vietnam vs U22 Indonesia - 1 — U22 Vietnam will face the biggest challenge since the beginning of the tournament.

In addition, U22 Indonesia has one more day off than U22 Vietnam. In a tournament with such a high competition density as the SEA Games, that is a significant advantage.

Meanwhile, for U22 Vietnam, each match in the group stage is also a training session. Coach Troussier and his students make good use of this time to prepare for the semi-finals. U22 Vietnam still has many shortcomings, but the performance of Phan Tuan Tai and his teammates is getting better with each match.

The second half of the match against U22 Thailand showed how far U22 Vietnam can go in implementing the style of play according to Coach Troussier's ideas. Although not the strongest squad, U22 Vietnam is still capable of controlling the ball, playing aggressively and creating opportunities.

Facing U22 Indonesia, U22 Vietnam must do better than that, maintaining control for longer. On the other hand, Mr. Troussier also needs to have reasonable physical calculations in the match, because in all cases of competition, U22 Indonesia always has the advantage.

Compared to U22 Vietnam, U22 Indonesia's strength is better preparation. The main generation of U22 Indonesia is the force invested to participate in the U20 World Cup in 2021. The tournament was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the young players of the archipelago are still on a good development path. They have competed in many domestic and international tournaments.
