“ If U20 Vietnam stumbles, the last two wins will be meaningless. U20 Vietnam did not enter the match with the intention of holding U20 Iran to a draw. We have learned many lessons from teams entering the match with the intention of drawing, which is extremely dangerous, ” coach Hoang Anh Tuan shared in the last training session of U20 Vietnam before the match with U20 Iran.
With two consecutive wins, U20 Vietnam has a good chance of advancing. Coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team only need a draw to secure top spot in the group. However, there are risks for U20 Vietnam. If Khuat Van Khang and his teammates fail, they could be eliminated.
U20 Vietnam aims to defeat U20 Iran.
According to AFC criteria, if 3 teams have the same number of points, the ranking will be divided into 3 groups, respectively the goal difference between the teams in the group, the number of goals scored by each team in the matches in the group, penalty shootout if the two teams involved meet in the final round, disciplinary points (penalty cards) and drawing lots.
U20 Vietnam will advance if they lose to U20 Iran by 1 goal with a score of 3-4 or more. If they lose 0-1 or 1-2, U20 Vietnam will be eliminated due to the number of goals scored being lower than U20 Australia. If they lose 2-3, U20 Vietnam will compare penalty cards with U20 Australia to decide which team will advance. In this case, if they lose by 2 goals or more, U20 Vietnam will definitely be eliminated.
Evaluating the opponent, coach Hoang Anh Tuan said: " All three remaining teams in Group B are considered stronger than U20 Vietnam. U20 Iran is no exception, they are very strong. As you know, the strongest football teams in Asia of course include Iran.
In my opinion from the beginning, U20 Iran is the strongest team in Group B. We have seen how their national team plays, what their achievements are in tournaments. Actually, in a tournament like this, they may have a good match, a bad match. But overall, we consider U20 Iran to be the strongest team in the group."
Coach Hoang Anh Tuan
U20 Vietnam had their last training session on artificial turf. The training session only lasted about 45 minutes. Coach Hoang Anh Tuan was cautious and asked the players to wear canvas shoes to reduce the risk of injury. The exercises mainly helped U20 Vietnam to have the best mental excitement and physical condition.
According to this coach, U20 Vietnam is suitable for defensive counter-attacking style of play and cannot play offensively like their opponents. Opponents who want to neutralize them also need to show special abilities. U20 Qatar is an example when this West Asian team cannot overcome U20 Vietnam's style of play when the players do not meet the tactical intention.
The match between U20 Vietnam and U20 Iran will take place at 5:00 p.m. tomorrow, March 7.
