Pre-match information
According to the match schedule, the U16 Vietnam team will face U16 Uzbekistan in the second match of the U16 International Peace Cup 2024 friendly tournament.
Previously, in the opening match, coach Cristiano Roland and his team suffered a 0-4 defeat against China U16. This result is also within the expectations of the coaching staff. But anyway, this is an important lesson when the players are "tested" against a highly qualified team.
In the upcoming match against U16 Uzbekistan, U16 Vietnam continues to face difficult challenges when the opponent is rated higher in terms of strength, physical fitness and professional level. Therefore, the U16 Vietnam coaching staff needs to make adjustments to the squad and playing style to best promote the players' strengths.
In friendly matches, the most important thing is the experiences and lessons that the players accumulate. In fact, Vietnam's U16 offense knows how to organize counter-attacks at high speed, but the strikers do not finish well or fail to handle them.
Meanwhile, the defense of U16 Vietnam, despite having good skills, is lacking in physical strength and strength. Therefore, facing Uzbekistan with both good physical shape and good technique, Mr. Roland must definitely calculate carefully to avoid a heavy loss for U16 Vietnam.
