Against opponents like Malaysia or Indonesia, Sy Bach and his teammates maintained certainty, especially the ability to organize defense and control the game. The draw against host Indonesia in a context of great pressure showed the fighting spirit of the young players.
Under coach Roland, U17 Vietnam pursued a technical playing style, prioritizing short combinations and controlling the ball at medium distances. Situations deployed from both wings combined with central penetrations helped the team create diversity in approaching the goal.
Although not possessing a great advantage in physique, the players still have flexibility and handling ability in tight spaces.
On the other side, U17 Australia is considered the top candidate for the championship. This team has won all 3 group stage matches, scored 15 goals and conceded no goals. This shows the balance between the lines as well as tactical effectiveness.
