Mr. Park, don’t be subjective, U23 Vietnam can still be eliminated early at the 31st SEA Games

U23 Timor Leste was almost certainly eliminated when there were no points.

According to the schedule, U23 Vietnam will meet U23 Myanmar (May 13) and U23 Timor Leste (May 15). Meanwhile, U23 Philippines will meet U23 Indonesia in the last match of this team on May 13. On May 15, U23 Indonesia will meet U23 Myanmar.

In the event that the match between U23 Philippines and U23 Indonesia on May 13 has a win/lose result, coach Park Hang-seo’s team must win against Myanmar U23 to be able to squeeze into the top 2 teams. In the case of not winning all 3 points against U23 Myanmar, U23 Vietnam may face the risk of being outside the top 2 teams. The pressure will increase greatly with teachers and coaches Park Hang-seo in the last match. U23 Vietnam will be forced to win while waiting for the results of the remaining matches. This is definitely the case that the Korean leader does not want.

U23 Vietnam was deadlocked before the majority defense of U23 Philippines on May 8. This scenario is entirely possible in the confrontation with Myanmar U23 on May 13. Opponents, as stated by Mr. Park, tend to play defensively against U23 Vietnam. This is probably the reason why at the recent training session of U23 Vietnam, Coach Park Hang-seo spent a lot of time “stuffing” the strikers.

The best scenario with U23 Vietnam is that Mr. Park’s teachers and students beat Myanmar U23 in the upcoming match. At that time, the chance to win tickets for U23 Vietnam will be wide open when in the final round, the team’s opponent is only U23 Timor Leste.
