“Mr Park had to adjust the attitude of the players”
“First of all, we have to congratulate the U23s Vietnam has fulfilled the set target of “first and foremost”, that is this victory will be the momentum to help us get excited and favorable in the remaining matches at the tournament.”former national player Nguyen Manh Dung opened his share in the commentary at the end of the U23 Vietnam vs U23 Indonesia match on Next Sports.
According to the central defender who used to play for HAGL club, coach Park Hang-seo realized that some players had psychological problems in the first half, forcing the Korean strategist to remind and adjust. That is why in the second half, U23 Vietnam played much more sublime:
“In the first half, our players did not do what Mr. Park expected. That’s why in the second half Mr. Park made an adjustment. The adjustment here is about the attitude to play. Yes Some players are obviously having a bit of a mental breakdown in an official tournament.
The additional players (over 23 years old) such as Hoang Duc, Tien Linh, Hung Dung are still the same, but the remaining players have not yet fully felt the passion and importance of this tournament. That’s why their approach to the game is still slow. As a veteran, Coach Park Hang-seo removed that mentality and adjusted some tactical positions.
U23 Vietnam removed the heavy mentality and played very comfortably in the second half.
In the first half, U23 Vietnam did not expand the two borders much, but often rushed to take advantage, then we fished the ball in the middle and hit the middle. Meanwhile, Indonesia is often concentrated in the middle of the road, which is very crowded. So in the second half, we adjusted by expanding the center to the whole field and the two full-backs were more involved in attack.”
Former player Manh Dung continued: “According to statistics from many big teams in the world, most of their goals are deployed from the side. So when U23 Vietnam deployed the ball from the edge in the second half, the danger level was also greater. After 90 minutes, as we have seen, the results are completely in favor of Vietnam.
Therefore, this change I firmly believe that Mr. Park is the most important person. He takes off the mentality of the player and adjusts to the specific person and the way he plays on the pitch.”
For his part, journalist Truong Anh Ngoc assessed that Tien Linh’s opening goal was very important to U23 Vietnam: “I think the decisive goal was Tien Linh’s goal. It came very early and the first goal like that will open the next goals. It relieves the player’s mentality and is important. After conceding a goal, Indonesia has to come up and create more space for us.”
Tien Linh scored an important goal.
Journalist Anh Ngoc closed with the comment that over-aged players like Hung Dung, Hoang Duc or Tien Linh made a great contribution to helping U23 Vietnam rise:
“The first two goals of U23 Vietnam came from players who were pulled down from the national team. They are the driving force to pull the whole team up. I believe that the U23 juniors when playing with their brothers like that, they will improve a lot.
In the first half, we saw U23 Vietnam quite pale, playing sporadically like eating raw rice. But in the second half, we had a hearty meal thanks to Tien Linh’s goal, which led to Hung Dung’s second goal. It must be affirmed once again that we need to praise the players who are too old.”
