Portugal coach worries about this play of Vietnam women's team at World Cup

In a recent interview on the FIFA homepage, coach Francisco Neto of the Portuguese women's team gave very detailed assessments of the opponents in Group E of the 2023 World Cup.

Portuguese coach is concerned about this performance of the Vietnamese women's team at the World Cup.

The Vietnamese women's team has been playing impressively recently.

Notably, in the interview, this strategist shared very positive things about the Vietnamese women's team.

In particular, coach Francisco Neto also expressed his concern about the defensive counter-attacking style of coach Mai Duc Chung and his team.

“I know the Dutch women’s team very well. We played them in the European Championship last year. It was a great game but Portugal lost 3-2.

The Netherlands are the runners-up of the 2019 Women's World Cup. Therefore, the match with this opponent will be very difficult. They have similar preparation to Portugal.

Most of the Dutch players are playing in Europe. The European Championships have just ended and the Dutch have the same preparation conditions as us.

Meanwhile, the Vietnamese women's team has a huge advantage because they have been training for a long time before the tournament begins.

The US Women's Soccer Championship is still going on so the players have gotten used to the pace of the game.

I rate the US and the Netherlands as the strong candidates for the next round ticket in this group. They played with ball control and dominated their opponents.

As for the Vietnamese women's team, they play counter-attacking and have very good transitional skills," the Portuguese women's team coach concluded.

According to the schedule, at the 2023 World Cup, the Vietnamese women's team will face the US (July 22), Portugal (July 27) and the Netherlands (August 1).

Related information, recently, the General Secretary of the Canadian Soccer Association (CBA), Jason de Vos, said that the country's women's team will likely not participate in the 2023 World Cup due to financial problems.

“We are in a real struggle. We don't have enough revenue to prepare for this event.

“The possibility of bankruptcy of the Federation is something that has been discussed. We are still considering it. But that is probably the last option for us,” said the CBA General Secretary.
