Defend tight, create, then score, stunning the opponent
For the first time in history, U23 Vietnam can hold Korea U23 in the official tournament. Vu Tien Long’s goal in the 83rd minute brought an explosion to the fans. However, to get that goal, the red shirt warriors had to work with 100% of their ability in the previous period, especially the defenders.
U23 Vietnam started with a defense consisting of a pair of central defenders Bui Hoang Viet Anh – Nguyen Thanh Binh, Vu Tien Long kicked the right back, and the left wing was held by Phan Tuan Tai. Above, Luong Duy Cuong is arranged to play as a defensive midfielder, ready to retire as a 3rd central defender at any time.

Under the suffocating pressure of U23 Korea with a total of 24 shots, the Vietnamese U23 defenders really had a difficult but excellent match. 5 players had 24 successful clearances in the penalty area, Bui Hoang Viet Anh and Thanh Binh struggled the most with 17 times. The alertness and experience of the two national players helped U23 Vietnam avoid conspicuous goals, especially in the first 30 minutes of the match. If conceding early, coach Gong Oh-kyun’s army could completely collapse, fortunately that scenario did not happen.

The loss of individual skills as well as speed makes U23 Vietnam difficult in a one-on-one situation. Two full-backs, Tien Long and Tuan Tai, only had 4 tackles and 2 successful interceptions. To fill this weakness, the teammates above have to actively retreat to support the defense. At one point, striker Nham Manh Dung also had to retreat to the home field to dispute the ball, this is a very commendable effort, proving the solidarity of U23 Vietnam.
However, it was also Tuan Tai and Tien Long who created a beautiful goal, setting the score 1-1. From the cross on the left wing of Tuan Tai, Hai Long controlled the error and inadvertently created conditions for Tien Long to finish. The very smooth cheek stroke of the player born in 2002 was praised by the AFC homepage.
With good performance and high confidence, hopefully U23 Vietnam will have a big victory over Malaysia to decide for themselves the right to continue in Group C. The match takes place at 8pm on 8/6.
