Thailand poured rain of goals, sowing a big match for Vietnam before the semi-finals?
In Group A of the 2022 Southeast Asian futsal tournament, the host Thailand is still showing superior strength with winning the first 2 matches, scoring 29 goals and not conceding. At 5pm today, they will have their next match against Indonesia, the opponent is also starting to be quite impressive.
Like Thailand, the Indonesian futsal team also won after 2 matches, scoring 17 goals but conceding only 1 time, temporarily ranked 2nd in Group A after the home team.
Basically, both Thailand and Indonesia have not met a real heavyweight opponent in this year’s tournament. While Thailand has only faced Brunei and Cambodia, Indonesia has only faced Brunei and Malaysia. Today’s match will be an opportunity for the two teams to have their true level and Thailand is being evaluated much higher than the Van Dao team.
With futsal, Thailand has risen to become one of the best teams in Asia, currently ranked 18th in the world, 30 places higher than Indonesia. The fact that Thailand has won the Southeast Asian futsal tournament to 15 out of 16 tournaments is the clearest proof of the dominance of the Thai people. Meanwhile, Indonesia is the team that won the remaining one (2010).
Thai futsal regularly holds a dominant position in Southeast Asia.
Thai futsal is especially strong in attack ability. Their gameplay is rich in technique, speed with extremely variable attack pieces. Currently in this year’s tournament, Thailand’s Muhammad Osamanmusa is also leading the scorer list (6 goals) and is the number one candidate for the title of top scorer.
Competing at the regional level, Indonesian futsal is not much different from the Vietnamese team, but compared to Thailand, there is still a relatively long distance. It will not be easy for Indonesia to surprise Thailand in the fight this afternoon and in fact, the most practical goal for Indonesia is to finish second in the final group to advance to the semi-finals.
It is highly likely that Thailand with a strong attack will again defeat Indonesia to consolidate the top position. Meanwhile, with Indonesia, even if they lose in this match, they still have a lot of opportunities to continue because in the last round, they only met Cambodia, which is not appreciated (won 1 point).
Indonesia (blue shirt) hardly surprises the host Thailand.
With the candidates to continue in Group B including Vietnam, Australia and Myanmar futsal team, surely all 3 teams are aiming to win the group to “dodge” Thailand in the semi-finals. Currently, the Vietnamese team is somewhat at a disadvantage due to Myanmar holding the first leg to draw while Australia has a certain advantage after winning against Timor Leste 7-4 and topping the table.
In the case of having to finish second in the final group, it is very likely that the Vietnamese futsal team will have to face Thailand right from the semi-finals. Today, Vietnam also plays the second leg match against Timor Leste with the goal of winning boldly. After this match, teacher and coach Pham Minh Giang will likely have to watch the match between Thailand and Indonesia to study these two opponents, especially Thailand to prepare for the goal of going deep in the tournament.
