The Vietnam futsal team has entered the second match of the four-way friendly tournament against host Spain. This is a very important coordination match for the Vietnam futsal team in preparation for the 2021 Futsal World Cup finals to take place in Lithuania in September.
This is the second time the Vietnam futsal team has had the opportunity to meet Spain. In 2016, before participating in the FIFA Futsal finals, the Vietnamese futsal team also lost to Spain in a friendly match and lost 1-4.
Meeting the opponent currently number 1 on the FIFA Futsal rankings, Spain, the Vietnam futsal team did not have many changes compared to the match against the Japan futsal team 1 day ago.
Coach Pham Minh Giang still let the players enter the game with a counter-attacking defense strategy. However, against the world's number 1 team like Spain, captain Van Vu and his teammates could not create a surprise.
The Spanish futsal team played well and won 4-0 overall. This is not a surprising result because the opponent is too strong and classy, but for the Vietnam futsal team, competing with the Spanish futsal team is a very valuable opportunity for coach Pham Minh Giang's students to have more experiences to prepare for the upcoming important tournament.
According to the original plan, the Vietnam futsal team will have another match against the Vietnam futsal team tomorrow. However, there was 1 player in the squad of the Futsal Guatemala team who tested positive for COVID-19, so this match was canceled.
After the end of the four-man friendly tournament, coach Pham Minh Giang and his team will continue to have another friendly match against Cordoba club from the Spanish national futsal championship on September 3, before moving to Lithuania to enter the final preparation stage for the FIFA Futsal World Cup 2021 final.
In the 2021 Futsal World Cup finals, the Vietnam futsal team will meet Brazil in the opening match on September 13, Panama (September 16) and the Czech Republic (September 19).
