U22 Vietnam vs Uzbekistan: Need to try coach Kim Sang Sik again

U22 Vietnam still needs to test its personnel to the maximum in the match against U22 Uzbekistan taking place at 2:30 p.m. this afternoon, November 15, in order to find the most perfect version.

Experiments in the victory over U22 China

The 1-0 victory over U22 China in the opening match of the Panda Cup was not only significant in terms of score but also showed the proactive spirit of experimentation of U22 Vietnam.

Acting head coach Dinh Hong Vinh made the most of his 6 substitutions and most of them brought positive results. Van Binh had an excellent performance in goal, Minh Phuc left an impression with the only goal for U22 Vietnam, and Vi Hao created a breakthrough with his speed and aggressiveness.

Acting head coach Dinh Hong Vinh has used many changes for U22 Vietnam.

It is this bold experimentation that helps U22 Vietnam have a clearer view of the depth of their force, especially when the Panda Cup is a tournament that is intended to prepare for the future.

With the match against U22 Uzbekistan, an opponent with superior physique, fitness and playing quality... U22 Vietnam needs to continue that spirit. Using all substitutions not only helps young players gain experience but also helps the coaching staff more accurately evaluate the appropriate links for the playing style that coach Kim Sang Sik is building.

Who will be using it?

In fact, the victory over U22 China was not the strongest performance of U22 Vietnam. A series of important players such as Dinh Bac, Viktor Le, Van Ha, goalkeeper Trung Kien or new player Quoc Cuong have not had the opportunity to play.

Except for Trung Kien, who is guaranteed to have enough experience, he will probably have to give way to Van Binh - who played very well in the opening match, the rest need to be used by Mr. Dinh Hong Vinh for the confrontation with U22 Uzbekistan.

The match against U22 Uzbekistan will also need further testing to have answers for the future.

This is understandable and necessary, because being on the field is not only to accumulate competitive feeling, more importantly to find harmony - something that U22 Vietnam still clearly lacked in the victory over U22 China from defense to attack.

In addition, rotating the squad is also necessary, because coach Kim Sang Sik's players need to ensure the best physical condition, avoid injuries in order to have the best preparation for SEA Games 33 or the U23 Asian Cup.

The immediate future is the 33rd SEA Games and further ahead is the 2026 AFC U23 Championship. To prepare perfectly, U22 Vietnam must make the most of every opportunity to experiment. The match with U22 Uzbekistan is the best test for coach Kim Sang Sik to continue perfecting his young team.

Defeating U22 Uzbekistan is a desirable result, but the bigger goal is SEA Games 33 and the AFC U23 Championship. Therefore, the mindset of "experimenting to be more perfect" needs to be put first, so U22 Vietnam must use all the cards they have.
