Japan U.17 plays extremely well, Vietnam U.17 can create an earthquake if…

Revealing the strongest team in group B

With a 4-1 victory over UAE, Japan U.17 also temporarily leads Group B after the first round of matches. The young team from the land of the rising sun still maintains the traditional strengths of Japanese football.

U.17 Vietnam will play Japan on April 7. Young Vietnamese players just had a good match against U.17 Australia.

The strength is the speed, technique, and tactical discipline of Japanese players. At all levels, Japanese teams have a very typical style of play: they coordinate very smoothly in a narrow area, using these combinations to disrupt the opponent's defense. And right at the moment when the opponent's defense shows signs of being "dizzy" by the passing of the ball back and forth by the Japanese players, the young team from the land of the rising sun suddenly makes passes or dribbles straight into the opponent's penalty area, before their players receive the ball and score.

U.17 UAE is the latest victim of this style of play. In fact, U.17 Japan scored 3 goals against UAE very early. After the first half, the team from the land of the rising sun led 3-0, after goals from Minato Yoshida in the 3rd and 15th minutes, and Yuito Kamo in the 34th minute. This also means that the outcome of the match between U.17 Japan and U.17 UAE was decided after only 1 half.

Therefore, U.17 Vietnam needs to pay attention to this point, to avoid losing early and leading to an early collapse against U.17 Japan. In the match against Australia, coach Cristiano Roland's team implemented their tactics very well. In that match, the players did not rush to push up the attacking formation in the first half, even when they were 1 goal behind from the 41st minute.

U.17 Vietnam needs to promote what they did well against Australia

Playing cautiously in the first half not only helped the U.17 Vietnam team read the opponent's playing style, but also helped us save energy against opponents who were bigger, stronger and faster than us. When the second half took place, the U.17 Vietnam team started to attack more, after assessing the opponent's weak points in defense. Suppose the U.17 Vietnam team played an open game with the opponent from the beginning to the end of the match, or we hastily pushed up the formation to find an equalizer right after falling behind, it is highly likely that the Vietnamese players will quickly become exhausted, even creating gaps in their own half for the opponent to exploit and score more goals.

In theory, the Japanese U.17 players are faster and more skillful than the Australian U.17 players, so caution in playing and choosing the right time to attack against the Japanese U.17 players are even more important for the Vietnamese U.17 in the upcoming match.

Another detail that U.17 Vietnam needs to pay attention to is that all 4 goals scored by U.17 Japan against UAE were scored by the team's strikers, including Minato Yoshida, Yuito Kamo and Hiroto Asada. This reflects that the strikers of the young team from the land of the rising sun are very sharp, good at maneuvering in a narrow space, good at seizing opportunities in front of and in the opponent's penalty area.

This is something that the central defenders of the U.17 Vietnam team, including captain Le Huy Viet Anh and Nguyen Hong Quang, need to pay more attention to, cover each other better, and try not to let the opponent pass easily. In addition, the central defenders also need the support of full-backs such as Le Tan Dung and Pham Duc Duy, and the support of midfielders Chu Ngoc Nguyen Luc and Nguyen Van Khanh, with the aim of helping the U.17 Vietnam team always ensure enough people in defense.

Anyway, the task of U.17 Vietnam against U.17 Japan is just to find a draw. We have many tactical calculations. Therefore, as long as we do not concede too early, coach Cristiano Roland's team will gradually find a way out in counter-attack situations in the upcoming match. Playing tight in defense, lightning-fast in counter-attacks, trying to take advantage of set-piece situations, U.17 Vietnam may have a chance against U.17 Japan.
