Asian newspapers made extremely surprising comments about the Vietnamese team.

(Dan Tri) - ESPN believes that the Vietnamese team performed well at the 2023 Asian Cup and can completely achieve better results.

The 2023 Asian Cup was truly unforgettable for the Vietnamese team. Coach Troussier's team lost all three matches and left the tournament without any points. This is the first time in history that we have not had any points and have not qualified for the group stage in the history of the Asian Cup.

However, ESPN saw an optimistic signal from the Vietnamese team. Author Gabriel Tan said that the "Golden Star Warriors" did not regress and showed their quality at the 2023 Asian Cup. Author Gabriel Tan commented: "After reaching the quarter-finals of the 2019 Asian Cup, the Vietnamese team lost all three matches in this year's tournament. It is easy to judge that they have regressed compared to the tournament 5 years ago. But in fact, the team is in the process of transition after appointing coach Philippe Troussier to replace coach Park Hang Seo. It is commendable that the Vietnamese team is one of the youngest teams at the 2023 Asian Cup with an average age of about 24 years old. They played quite well and suffered unlucky defeats against Iraq and Japan. Meanwhile, in the loss to Indonesia, it is clear that the Vietnamese team can do much better."

ESPN also commented on Malaysia, another Southeast Asian team that also stopped in the group stage of the 2023 Asian Cup. They wrote: "In their first match back at the Asian Cup since 2007, Malaysia suffered a heavy 0-4 defeat against Jordan. In their second match, they played better and suffered a painful defeat in the 90+5 minute in a 0-1 defeat against Bahrain. Although they had no hope of advancing, Harimau Malaya (the nickname of the Malaysian team) fought hard and even took the lead against South Korea. However, the home team's 3-3 draw with South Korea will remain in the memory of Malaysian fans for a long time." The team that was criticized the most after stopping in the group stage was China. The author wrote: "Not getting out of the group stage was a failure for the Chinese team. It was even worse when they failed to score a single goal. They, along with India, were the teams with such an undesirable record."
