Sohu news site published an article analyzing tactics and giving comments on the match between Vietnam and China (6:35 p.m. tonight, October 10). The author gave advice to coach Aleksandar Jankovic based on his team's loss to Vietnam at My Dinh Stadium in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
According to this article, the Chinese team should take advantage of their physical advantage to overwhelm the skillful Vietnamese players.
"First of all, the Vietnamese team has skillful footwork and agile playing style. The Chinese team is clearly not as good as the Vietnamese players in terms of technique. It is best for them not to directly confront their opponents in this aspect but to try to take advantage of high balls and long passes," the author on Sohu analyzed.
The Vietnam team will face China tonight.
The Chinese team also won a match against the Vietnamese team in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. At that time, the team from the billion-people country did not dominate but they still scored 3 goals in a simple scenario thanks to their advantage in high-ball situations. According to Sohu's writer, Coach Jankovic can use a similar method.
"The most important advantage of the Chinese team is their superior height, especially Tan Long and Xie Weijun in the front line - one is 1m85 tall and the other is 1m90 tall. They will be very strong against the short defense of the Vietnamese team. Controlling the high balls, taking advantage of their height as an attacking fulcrum in the front line to continuously launch high balls, winning against the Vietnamese team will be easier," Sohu commented.
Compared to the last match between the two teams (February 2022), the Vietnamese and Chinese teams have both made major changes in terms of squad size and coaching positions. The Vietnamese team is in the process of building a new squad and applying new tactics under coach Philippe Troussier.
The French coach did not have the strongest squad in this training session when Doan Van Hau and Ho Tan Tai - two players with good height in defense and good support in attack - were both injured. In addition, coach Troussier also reserved a series of 3 matches against strong opponents to give opportunities to many young players.
