The draw against U23 DPRK brought initial signals for U23 Vietnam in the testing phase of the squad and playing style.
Under the guidance of head coach Dinh Hong Vinh, U23 Vietnam showed confidence, adhered to tactics, maintained stable competition intensity and stable spirit. Although there are still points to be adjusted, this performance meets the goal of testing competence against a high-quality professional opponent.
The above result is considered a stepping stone before the next confrontation with U23 Thailand, a direct competitor in the region. The young team from the Land of the Golden Temple tends to push up their determination to affirm their position, especially when their national team level achievements recently no longer maintain their advantage. This will be a quality test for U23 Vietnam in determining the effectiveness of the operating system.
In the opening match, U23 Thailand drew 2-2 with U23 China. The 5-3-2 formation helps them maintain a solid defensive structure, while effectively exploiting space when switching positions.
Attacking situations were organized at high speed, creating 2 goals thanks to accurate coordination and neat finishing. However, in the second half, when the opponent increased pressure, this system revealed limitations, leading to a decline in the ability to control the game.
The match between U23 Vietnam and U23 Thailand will take place at 2:00 PM on March 28.
