Then Mr Emilov Popov More comments on U.23 Vietnam and U.23 Indonesia: “It is impossible to say which U.23 Vietnam and U.23 Indonesia cause more difficulties for us because they have different playing tactics.

U.23 Indonesia is a team rich in speed, with very dangerous quick ups and very strong on counter-attacks with creative players. Meanwhile, U.23 Vietnam is very physically rich and has solid defense, so it will be difficult to compare.

I wish U.23 Vietnam and U.23 Indonesia good luck and will go forward smoothly. I really hope these two teams make it to the finals because they are the two strongest teams in SEA Games 31“.
