The power of the Czech Republic
With the same 3 points as the Vietnam futsal team, the Czech Republic must win 1 victory to ensure 2nd place in Group D with a ticket to the next round (Brazil will likely win the top spot in Group D). This is completely possible for the European representative, because in terms of FIFA rankings as well as performance after the last 2 matches, the Czech Republic has shown its superiority over the team of coach Pham Minh Giang.
If in the opening match, the Czech Republic easily defeated Panama with a score of 5-1, a team that the Vietnam futsal team also struggled and had difficulty winning 3-2. In the match against Brazil, the Czech Republic also had times when the world's top team was surprised with their cautious and explosive playing style.
The representative of Europe is a team with a tight organization of play, knowing itself and knowing us. They chose a game depending on their opponent, dominating a weaker Panama but defending counter-attacking against a superior Brazil. They also have individuals who have made a breakthrough like Seilder, the player who had a hat-trick into the Panama net in the opening match. This is the name that the Vietnam futsal team needs to be cautious and cautious about.
The Czech Republic is 15th in the FIFA rankings, 29 places higher than the Vietnam futsal team. The difference in rankings also reflects the strength of the European representative compared to the Vietnamese team, so it will be very difficult for coach Pham Minh Giang's students in this match.
Goal 1 point
If they lose to the Czech Republic, the Vietnam futsal team will certainly also be in 3rd place in Group D, but the chance to continue is very slim because the Vietnamese team's goal difference in Group D is very low at the moment (-7), making it difficult to enter the top 3 teams with the best results.
In case of winning 1 point, the Vietnam futsal team will not necessarily have a wide chance to continue, but there is still hope to continue to make a miracle in the next round like the FIFA Futsal World Cup 2016.
The commendable performance of the Vietnam futsal team against Panama also helped coach Pham Minh Giang's team gain confidence before the match against the Czech Republic. However, there are still things that Van Vu and his teammates need to improve.
Sharing with Lao Dong, futsal coach Nguyen Quang Minh assessed that the Vietnamese futsal team needs to solve psychological problems as well as improve finishing ability. These are 2 decisive factors for the Vietnam futsal team to think about a positive result against the Czech Republic. Although this is not only a factor of expertise but also depends on luck
One point to note is that as long as the result is a draw, the Czech Republic will also win second place in Group D, because it is impossible for them to win the top spot in the group, or in the case of Brazil losing heavily to Panama. So the European representative may not be able to compete, when the second place in Group D will have to face Spain, the team that won the top spot in Group E and they will strengthen their strength to calculate the direct qualifying round.
However, instead of relying on the opponent, coach Pham Minh Giang and his students must "make a living" and be ready mentally and mentally for a match of vital nature.
