U22 Vietnam begins longest break in SEA Games

After the match against Laos on the afternoon of December 3, U22 Vietnam will have a 7-day break, the longest in the entire 33rd SEA Games in Thailand.

On the afternoon of December 4, U22 Vietnam returned to the training ground after the opening match of the men's football event in Group B of the 33rd SEA Games. The 2-1 victory over U22 Laos put the Vietnamese team temporarily at the top of the group.

In this afternoon's training session, the U22 team was divided into two groups. The main group had light training, while the reserve group or those who played less often had heavier training.

The starting players just went through a tense 90 minutes. Although the opponent was only Laos, U22 Vietnam had to work very hard to get 3 points.

Coach Kim Sang-sik joined the ghost football game with his players. He wanted to create a fun atmosphere and reduce the pressure that U22 Vietnam is facing.

After yesterday's match, U22 Vietnam will begin a 7-day break before taking the field against U22 Malaysia in the final match. This is the longest break in men's football, equal to host U22 Thailand and perhaps the longest break of a sports team in the entire tournament.

The U22 Vietnam strikers of Quoc Viet (left) and Thai Son (right) will have more time to prepare after their poor first match. Two goals against U22 Laos were not enough to satisfy Vietnamese fans.

The U22 Vietnam defense with goalkeeper Tran Trung Kien and center back Ly Duc played better. However, they still conceded 1 goal to Laos.

On the long journey of SEA Games, there are still many opportunities for reserve players, typically creative names like Viktor Le.
