So how did U.23 Vietnam break the way and bring it worth watching? The way he Gong Oh-kyun swapping positions on the pitch, with players playing in roles that weren’t nailed to them before. Luong Duy Cuong From a central defender, he was promoted to a holding midfielder. Le Van Do from the right defender was pulled to the left midfielder.

‘s gameplay U.23 Vietnam Under coach Gong Oh-kyun, he actively exerted high pressure and regularly maintained a 3-line formation in the middle axis. There is always a block of 10 people divided into 3 lines operating in the midfield area. This is to help U.23 Vietnam actively defend from afar and also a way for the players to be ready for regular attacks on the opponent’s field.

However, the way that U.23 Vietnam kicked freely and boldly attacked was first U.23 Thailand, a team of just equal level. But in front of U.23 Vietnam is South Korea U.23. This team is not only strong in terms of class but also possesses qualified and physical individuals. They will find all ways to break the encirclement that U.23 Vietnam created.

If the U.23 team in Vietnam is being led by Coach Park Hang-seo, we will immediately think of the familiar counter-attacking defense scenario. Mr. Park will ask the U.23 Vietnam team to try not to concede a goal and wait for the opportunity to counterattack because Mr. Park understands that playing a double attack with the Korean U.23 team is like giving “a knife next to you.” on the neck”.

But currently the U.23 team in Vietnam is being led by someone who has a tendency to attack and love High pressing kick style. The following statement from Mr. Gong is remarkable: “I only focus on the way I play and the tactics I choose for my team, not on adapting to changes in circumstances and the opponent’s playing style.” So it can be understood, it is possible that U.23 Vietnam will not give up its fast, speed, and want to impose the game, even if it is an opponent on the range.

But it is also necessary to repeat the details, in the first match of Group C AFC U.23 Championship 2022 a few days ago, U.23 Malaysia pushing up the squad with the hope of equalizing and then leading to the situation of losing 2 more goals from the fierce attacks of Korea U.23 is a typical example of how difficult it is to attack fair with the opponent. defending champions.

With the situation after the first round, it is not difficult to realize that to be able to enter the quarterfinals, U.23 Vietnam needs to lose as little as possible to Korea and win as much as possible against Malaysia in the final round. Mr. Gong will have to stand between two waters, or choose the familiar formula of defense, counterattack, or attack formula. With his disruptive personality, Mr. Gong can bring unexpected blows to the Korean U.23. This is what Vietnamese audiences are looking forward to U.23 Vietnam at 20 o’clock tonight.
