‘Vietnam U23 players need to improve their fitness’

Iraq U23 played disciplined, defending the majority of the game for most of the time. After the match, coach Lee Young Jin shared: “U23 Vietnam There has been a lot of turmoil in recent times when some players have been promoted to the national team, so this tournament I expect a lot of new factors. In general, the match against Iraq U23, the players played correctly with the strategy and tactical intentions I set out.

The midfield controlled the ball well, the formation distance was guaranteed, but the opponent defended well so there were not many dangerous opportunities created by us.

U23 Vietnam made many changes in the second half to innovate the approach to the match, but still could not score. “This is a friendly tournament, so we put together the problem of assembling the gameplay so that the players can play better. This is very useful because the time from now to SEA Games 31 is not much. The match against Iraq U23 has brought many benefits to the players.” Mr. Lee said.

Last night’s match (Vietnam time), the weather in Dubai was quite hot, so it greatly affected the phases of U23 Vietnam.

“Obviously, we will have to improve the fitness of the players. Because not only the tournament in Dubai this time, but also at the upcoming SEA Games 31 will also take place in hot conditions, so from now on, you must prepare carefully for the physical stage.‘, Mr. Lee concluded.
