Before entering this tournament, coach Philippe Troussier also clearly determined that the main purpose of U23 Vietnam was to test personnel and play style towards the 32nd SEA Games. In fact, he showed his steadfastness in his decision when giving maximum opportunities to players to play, including in the goalkeeper position, and at the same time encouraging players to focus on developing the style of play according to what has been taught, not just think about protecting the home goal to avoid the pressure of losing the game.
“In terms of results, U23 Vietnam lost. But as I shared, when participating in the 2023 U23 Doha Cup in Qatar, the goal that U23 Vietnam is aiming for is the step-by-step progress of the players. And with what happened in the match against U23 UAE, I can say satisfied. The players had a lot of efforts, even when they lost 0-4 to U23 UAE. The team has tested the structure in the squad, the operation of the game, the determination, the fighting spirit and the organization in the competition. For me, U23 Vietnam is gradually improving,” said coach Philippe Troussier.
Remember, in 2022, at the friendly match “review” before the U23 Asian Cup, U23 Vietnam also received a lot of skepticism and criticism to lose to U23 UAE with a bold score of 0-3. . However, when entering the AFC U23 Asian Cup, the team performed very impressively and reached the quarterfinals.
