Coach Park is not satisfied with the victory over Indonesia

“The opening match is always difficult, but the Vietnamese players have worked hard and won the results they deserve. There are still many matches ahead, and we will try to continue to win the best results.” Coach Park commented in the press conference after the match at Viet Tri Stadium. “After 60 minutes, I noticed Indonesia’s physical decline. So during the break I asked the players to continue to maintain the same pressure as in the first half. I also adjusted the tactics. The first was Van Tung. He has good quality but lacks experience I brought Nham Manh Dung in. I also switched between Van Xuan and Van Do Van Xuan has been training on the left wing recently but can also play well on the right wing. changed wings and they played well, helping Vietnam succeed”.

Vietnam entered confidently, playing dominating for most of the first half. However, Hoang Duc, Viet Anh, Van Tung or Tien Linh could not concretize the opportunities. On the contrary, Indonesia seems to be satisfied with the defensive – counter-attacking position and is ready to kick solid to relieve pressure from the host.

But, with the launch of Manh Dung at the beginning of the second half, Vietnam’s knot was removed. Viettel’s young striker created an assist for striker Tien Linh to open the scoring in the 54th minute. About 20 minutes later, he again contributed to his shoes when Do Hung Dung doubled the lead. In the 87th minute, Vietnam’s 3-0 victory was determined by Le Van Do’s lucky long shot. However, Coach Park is still not satisfied. He said: “Among the players playing in this match, there are many who lack actual playing experience. I still feel that there are still individual flaws somewhere. We will have to intervene to improve this. “.

Regarding the role of the trio of older players, Hung Dung, Tien Linh and Hoang Duc, Coach Park commented: “When choosing over-aged players, we aim to fill in the missing positions of the players. young players, they have experience, compared to young players who lack actual combat. They have played for many years in the national team, so they also understand the tactics. On the field, they often call on young players. They bring a positive influence to the team.”
