Coach Park Hang Seo is not sure about U23 Vietnam

“The first game is always difficult, the important thing is that the players try their best and get good results. Thank you Vietnamese football fans. Me and the whole team will try to get the best results in the remaining matches“, Coach Park Hang Seo said after the first match of U23 Vietnam at SEA Games 31.

U23 Indonesia is considered the most difficult opponent for U23 Vietnam in Group A men’s football at SEA Games 31. However, in front of the team of thousands of islands, coach Park Hang Seo’s students played well and won. bold 3-0.

Coach Park Hang Seo was satisfied with the players’ performance when his tactical adjustments came into play in the second half. The Korean leader made unexpected decisions when he reversed the positions of the two defenders. Borders are Le Van Do, Le Van Xuan. In addition, he also brought Nham Manh Dung – a player who is often ranked as a central defender – back to the striker position.

“After 60 minutes I felt the opponent’s physical decline. Tactical changes brought good results. We had a successful game.”the head coach of U23 Vietnam said.

He also commended 3 overage players, Hung Dung, Hoang Duc and Tien Linh: “When choosing players who are too old, my goal is to fill the weak position of U23 Vietnam. The first difference is that they have experience, while the young players mostly lack real combat experience. Second, those players have a long training time with the national team and understand the tactics better. They bring a positive influence.”

However, Coach Park Hang Seo is still not completely satisfied with the performance of his students. U23 Vietnam still has shortcomings coming from the inexperience of young players.

“Among our players, many lack actual playing experience. I still see some personal flaws somewhere. I will do how to limit this in the next matches.” Coach Park Hang Seo said.

In the next match, U23 Vietnam will face U23 Philippines on May 8. Coach Park Hang Seo’s teachers and students have less than 48 hours to rest and prepare for the next match.

“The head coach of U23 Philippines said he would surprise us. Then I have to try to prepare the best so that the opponent can’t make a surprise.”Coach Park Hang Seo said.
