U.17 Vietnam did not show much when facing U.17 Japan, which had a difference in skill level. When U.17 Vietnam was behind, coach Hoang Anh Tuan decided to break the tight defense structure to risk attacking to find an equalizer, hoping to get 1 point. As a result, U.17 Vietnam had to accept 3 more goals. In another match of the second round, U.17 Uzbekistan won against U.17 India (the opponent that U.17 Vietnam had unfortunately drawn with in the first round).
Coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team were pushed into a corner when they had to beat U.17 Uzbekistan to enter the quarterfinals. Defeating the Central Asian team was a challenge, but it was also a quality test to properly assess the strength and bravery of the young Vietnamese boys.
Vietnam U.17 team (red shirt) faces big challenge
Remember, U.17 Uzbekistan is not an easy opponent, as they held U.17 Japan to a 1-1 draw in the first match. While the "Blue Samurai" have a good technical foundation and a very annoying fast-pressing style of play, the Central Asian team also has strengths in terms of physique and physical strength. Therefore, the U.17 Vietnam players need to improve their confidence and ability to handle situations.
In the match against U.17 Japan, facing the fierce siege of the opponent, the students of coach Hoang Anh Tuan showed confusion in the first step of receiving and passing the ball. In the upcoming match, when facing the pressure from the tall players of Uzbekistan, each individual U.17 Vietnam needs to stay calm and more decisive. Besides, in the face of situations of penetrating the opponent's penalty area, from group coordination or breakthrough... the U.17 Vietnam players also need to handle the situation accurately and reasonably to take full advantage of the opportunities created.
According to the tournament rules, in case two teams have the same number of points, the head-to-head record will be considered first for ranking. Therefore, if U.17 Vietnam wins U.17 Uzbekistan, and U.17 Japan does not lose to U.17 India, the team led by coach Hoang Anh Tuan will win a ticket to the quarter-finals as the second place in Group D.
Facing the difficult situation of U.17 Vietnam, Coach Hoang Anh Tuan said: "I believe U.17 Vietnam still has a chance to advance to the next round if we play well in the last match. Therefore, we must forget the loss to Japan to focus all our strength on the decisive match with U.17 Uzbekistan. Physical strength is the biggest weakness of U.17 Vietnam in the loss to U.17 Japan. But surely in the next match, you will see U.17 Vietnam play with a completely different spirit."
