U22 Vietnam still has some mistakes but is getting better and better

U22 Vietnam finished the group stage in second place, only behind U22 Thailand in terms of additional index. In addition to the results, the important thing for U22 Vietnam is that coach Philippe Troussier's students play better with each match.

According to commentator Ngo Quang Tung, the performance in the match against U22 Thailand proves that U22 Vietnam can meet the professional requirements to play the football that coach Troussier desires. They will reach their best state if they have enough time to absorb the philosophy of the French coach.

- U22 Vietnam drew with U22 Thailand with a not bad performance. Was that a successful performance by coach Troussier and his team?

U22 Vietnam has not been successful in terms of achievement goals. However, the team has achieved many other goals.

Coach Troussier used many players who have not played or have played little in this match. This is a reasonable choice. In fact, the high frequency of matches and unfavorable pitches will greatly drain the team's physical strength. Using only the same lineup as in previous matches can greatly affect the calculation in the semi-finals.

U22 Vietnam kept the same number of players. No one had any major injury problems. I did not mention Quoc Viet's case, because he did not play. That helped U22 Vietnam keep the main force, ensuring physical strength for the goal of the semi-final match.

In addition, the performance of the reserve players has shown that our squad has depth. Coach Troussier will have more solutions when all the players are always ready to compete. It is likely that U22 Vietnam will use the players who have played in the first 3 matches in the upcoming semi-finals, but the main players against U22 Thailand, most of whom have played little or not yet, have proven their ability and readiness.

Another thing is that I see the players have good spirit, good connection, responding to the game. We are more and more positive. The team is getting better and better. The players can play football and to do that, the players need to have desire and effort.

- U22 Vietnam has gone through 3 consecutive matches without keeping a clean sheet, all due to individual carelessness.

In the goal conceded in the match against U22 Thailand, U22 Vietnam fell into such a situation as unlucky. That also shows that our players lack experience, do not have enough concentration. They are not really ready in bad pitch conditions. That ball should be considered an accident, but the nature of the problem is the lack of initiative of the players.

The goals conceded by U22 Vietnam, the mistakes are not a problem of ability but of technical errors. The important thing is how those people act after such mistakes. After the mistake, Tien Long played better. Van Chuan made a mistake but after that, there were no major problems. I believe that after a break, Chuan will return to normal .

As for Duy Cuong, he played reasonably after conceding the goal. U22 Thailand tried to exploit Duy Cuong's position but couldn't do anything. Duy Cuong had some difficult moments but in the end everything passed. That proves that this team knows how to adjust and Duy Cuong has also matured to a certain extent in a short time.

Those are temporary mistakes and can be completely overcome. The children play better and better. On the other hand, mistakes are not repeated by any individual or position. That helps us play better and not fall apart.

- U22 Vietnam plays better and better with each match. Coach Troussier's tactical style and playing style have now become clearer.

I think at this point, nothing can be concluded about Coach Troussier's work. In fact, every coach has ideas, but how to implement them is the problem. It is the players who implement them, not the head coach, and that can be prevented by research or the form of the opponent.

What must be noted is the mutability and ability to create great pressure of U22 Vietnam. Mr. Troussier's playing plan is very unpredictable, such as playing fast or slow, how to control the tempo. U22 Vietnam has met the high-intensity playing style that Mr. Troussier desired.

However, the physical problem is very worrying due to the influence of weather, field conditions or competition density. Therefore, I want to mention the word "solution" instead of "lessons". With the controlled playing style, I believe we can exploit it further. The important thing is that Coach Troussier always has a solution to approach the match. From there, the playing quality of U22 Vietnam will be increasingly improved.

Yesterday's second half solved a lot of problems. The players understood that if they had the same understanding of the game, had the same voice and desire, they could play. We controlled the ball, won the second ball back, put pressure on Thailand, and kept the distance to communicate with each other.

In the equalizer, 5-6 U22 Vietnam players were in the penalty area. Of course, the conversion rate of goals will be higher. From that, we can see that if the players maintain the formation, participate in attack and defense together, they will make up for the shortcomings.

The chance of U22 Vietnam winning the gold medal is much brighter than when we entered the tournament. U22 Vietnam is playing more and more confidently. If we can solve the semi-final match, everything in the final match will be 50-50. Most likely the opponent will be U22 Thailand. They will play differently, not like the group stage. I still rate it highly but the match will not be lopsided in Thailand's favor. The chances will be divided equally.
