The match between the Vietnam futsal team and the Czech Republic in Kaunas will decide the ticket to the next round of Group D of the 2021 Futsal World Cup finals.
Both the Vietnamese and Czech Republic futsal teams have 3 points, but coach Pham Minh Giang and his team's opponents are ranked higher thanks to the secondary index. If the Vietnam futsal team wins, we will continue as the second-placed team. The draw will also be a big advantage to be able to win a ticket to the next round.
But if they lose, the Vietnam futsal team will have to depend on the results of the match between Panama and the competing teams in other groups to determine 4/6 third-placed teams with good results to qualify for the knockout round. This is a very narrow door.
Head of the delegation Tran Anh Tu shared: "The Vietnam futsal team fell into a group with many strong opponents. Even Panama had to work very hard to win 3-2. The Czech Republic futsal team is a great force from Europe.
But we determined that even though the opponent is strong, the Vietnam futsal team must strive and make every effort to compete. The whole team has forgotten about the win over Panama to get the highest concentration for the upcoming match."
In this match, captain Van Vu was absent due to a penalty card. Coach Pham Minh Giang chose Duc Hoa from the second team to replace Van Vu and wore the captain's armband of the Vietnam futsal team.
The starting lineup of the Vietnam futsal team includes players from group 1: Van Y, Doan Phat, Duc Hoa, Anh Duy, Minh Tri. Duc Hoa will take over the fixo position. This is a very important position in not only organizing defense but also launching attacks.
Meanwhile, the starting lineup of the Czech Republic futsal team includes players: Vahala Ondrej, Resetar Lukas, Krivanek Lukas, Seids Michal, Holy Michal.
