Coach Gong Oh-kyun caused a “shock” about the starting lineup of U23 Vietnam against U23 Malaysia

Coach Gong Oh-kyun surprised Malaysia U23 in the middle of the field

Before entering the match tonight, U23 Malaysia had nothing to lose. They competed purely for honor when they were soon eliminated. And U23 Vietnam is forced to win (necessary condition) to hope to win tickets to go on to the quarterfinals of the 2022 AFC U23 Championship.

Feeling the heat in the midfield area when U23 Vietnam has the talented “conductor” Bin Mahadi, coach Gong Oh-kyun needs players full of desire to express themselves to overcome the opponent.

Anticipating that Malaysia U23 would play “all hands”, increasing strong pressure right from the start, coach Gong Oh-kyun launched a squad with a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Accordingly, in the wooden frame is still goalkeeper Van Chuan. The four defenders have not changed compared to the 1-1 Korean U23 draw, Tien Long (right) – Viet Anh – Thanh Binh – Tuan Tai. Experience and stubbornness helped Quang Nho to be chosen as an “anchor” midfielder. Next to him is another HAGL player – Thanh Nhan, right in front of the defense.

The three midfielders who play higher are Cong To – Hai Long – Van Cong. The key striker is Nham Manh Dung.

With the trust of veterans like above, coach Gong Oh-kyun did not hide his intention to play fair with Malaysia U23 in the second half when tactical cards like Ly Cong Hoang Anh, Van Khang, Van Truong, Van Do , Van Tung… will enter the field.

What Vietnam U23 needs right now is a sure game in the first 45 minutes, reducing the “moment” of U23 Malaysia in the first half. When U23 Malaysia “innocent” rises, it is time for U23 Vietnam to have a chance. decisive “strike”.

When there is a goal in front, everything will be completely under the control of coach Gong Oh-kyun and his team.
