Vietnam U22 and Thailand U22 entered the semi-finals one round early. The direct confrontation between the two teams is to determine the top position in the group. Although tied on points with Thailand U22 (both with 9 points after 3 matches), Vietnam U22 is at a disadvantage compared to its opponent.
According to the format of SEA Games 32 football, the first sub-index to be considered is the goal difference in the entire group stage. U22 Vietnam scored 7 goals, conceded 2 goals, the goal difference is 5. U22 Thailand also conceded 2 goals but scored 9 goals, the goal difference is 7.
U22 Vietnam must beat U22 Thailand to top Group B.
Therefore, to surpass U22 Thailand and top Group B, U22 Vietnam must win. If they win the number 1 position, coach Philippe Troussier and his team will face U22 Myanmar in the semi-finals.
In case of a draw or loss, U22 Vietnam will be in second place and will meet the top team in Group A, U22 Indonesia. Compared to U22 Myanmar, U22 Indonesia is clearly a tougher opponent. But no matter which team they meet in the next round, U22 Vietnam must be ready to win to achieve the goal of winning the gold medal.
Last night (May 10), Coach Troussier assigned his assistant to monitor the opponents U22 Myanmar and U22 Indonesia. The victory against U22 Thailand will be the priority. However, this coach will also calculate to allocate strength and avoid unfortunate injuries and penalty cards for his students.
