Dinh Trong is not afraid to face Thailand U22
After the draw for the group stage of the 30th SEA Games, central defender Dinh Trong assessed that the group stage of U22 Vietnam was not easy, and facing Thailand was just a "early- too-dead" matter.
"Group B is much heavier than the group with the home team. It is also normal for U22 Vietnam and U22 Thailand to face each other early. I think every road must meet, so so whatever comes soon or late must be resolved. Of course, the competition will be very fierce. U22 Indonesia and Singapore also have serious preparations and many aspirations," said the defender of Hanoi FC.
Indonesia needs to play "perfectly" to defeat Vietnam
Before the match with the Vietnam team, experts in Indonesia commented that the team from the archipelago was in a "bottom door" position even though it played at home. Evaluating the home team's opportunities, coach Milomir Seslija (Arema club) said: "Indonesia needs to play a perfect match, we cannot allow mistakes. Just the slightest mistake creates an opportunity for the Vietnamese team to organize a very dangerous counter-attack".
"I think Vietnam will play a lot of counter-attacking in the match against Indonesia. They have the ability to do that with a good physical foundation and a reasonable tactical system. They can create many opportunities. The Vietnamese players were very agile and skillful to take advantage of the opportunities they had. This match will be very difficult for Indonesia," said Mr. Milomir Seslija.
