Former goalkeeper Duong Hong Son: “I believe U23 Vietnam will defeat the Thai”

Former goalkeeper Duong Hong Son expressed: “In the last match, I saw that U23 Vietnam had many difficulties to beat Malaysia. However, it must be recognized that the opponent played very well and defensively. Law with the majority in the yard.

At times, Malaysia also has the opportunity to make Vietnamese fans’ hearts flutter. Fortunately, everything stops at the level of opportunity. It is worth mentioning that the squad does not have 3 players over the age of 23, but the way they organize their tactics to deal with us is remarkable.

When it came to extra time, a lot of people including me thought about deciding whether to win or lose in the gunfight. Only when it is recorded that Tien Linh headed to break the stalemate, can we think of a ticket to play the final.

At this year’s SEA Games, many people questioned Tien Linh’s performance. But personally, I think the surrounding satellites have not supported him well. On the field, Tien Linh is still dangerous in the opponent’s penalty area. He is the type of striker who takes advantage of good opportunities, if the opponent’s defender loses focus, he will have to pay a very expensive price. The goal against Malaysia U23 clearly showed his quality.

Talking about the upcoming final, I see we have a great opportunity to defend the SEA Games gold medal at home. Thailand U23 is equal enough with us, they have brought this tournament good enough force to aim for the highest goal.

In their squad, there are also 3 notable players over 23 years old: goalkeeper Kawin and 2 midfielders Weerathep and Worachit. In which I am very impressed with midfielder No. 17 is Weerathep, he is the soul in the play of Thailand U23. The next match, U23 Vietnam’s defense will have to be wary of him.

In general, U23 Vietnam is being evaluated slightly better than the opponent when playing at home. Another point I see that Coach Park Hang-seo has an impressive defense. This is considered a solid fulcrum for us to think about a victory.

19 years ago, we lost to the Thais and I was one of the members of that year’s squad. But that was a story of the past. Right now, I believe young players will be able to do better than our generation.

Finally, I wish the players will play a great game, thereby bringing joy to millions of football fans in the country.”
