The Indonesian newspaper suspected that Mr. Park was playing tricks at the 31st SEA Games

The Indonesian newspaper Tribunews expressed doubts about the statements of Mr. Parkdo not boldly declare the same U23 Vietnam won the 31st SEA Games championship, but only said “will try” to achieve.

They pointed out, this is different from coach Shin Tae Yong confidently conquering SEA Games gold with U23 Indonesia: “Our goal is to win. I believe this squad can really win the 31st SEA Games gold“.

“Not declaring as strongly as coach Shin Tae Yong, the compatriot of captain U23 Indonesia admitted, it is uncertain whether it is possible to win the championship with U23 Vietnam. SEA Games 31 or not. Coach Park Hang Seo just said that he will try his best…“.

This analysis shows that it may be Mr. Park’s ‘trick’ before the war: “In fact, U23 Vietnam is the most appreciated team at SEA Games 31.

In addition to the home field advantage, coach Park Hang Seo’s team is also the defending champion of the tournament, after winning the 2019 SEA Games gold medal in the Philippines.

At that time, U23 Vietnam won strongly against U23 Indonesia 3-0 in the final.

Not only that, U23 Vietnam also achieved good results in the process of preparing for this 31st SEA Games. In 2 matches against Korea U23, they drew 1 (0-0) and won 1 (1-0).

In contrast, U23 Indonesia had quite disappointing results in the training trip to Korea. In 3 matches, coach Shin Tae Yong and his students only won 1 and lost 2“.

U23 Vietnam will meet U23 Indonesia in the opening match of the 31st SEA Games at Viet Tri Stadium (Phu Tho), in the framework of Group A on May 6.
