Coach of U17 Vietnam asked his students to practice a game carefully before meeting Japan.

Coach Cristiano Roland has his players practice their finishing skills for the match against U17 Japan.

Vietnam U17 created a surprise in the opening match of the 2025 AFC U17 Championship when they held Australia U17 to a draw.

In the next match, the red team will face an even more classy opponent, U17 Japan.

To prepare for this match, the U17 Vietnam coaching staff has given the players additional tactical training, focusing on teamwork, as well as attack and defense situations.

Notably, with the determination to get good results against the young team from the land of the rising sun, coach Roland had his players practice their finishing skills very carefully.

The Brazilian coach made very strict demands on his players in every shot, and emphasized that when facing a strong opponent, every opportunity in front of goal must be fully exploited.

In theory, Japan U17 is considered the top candidate for the 2025 AFC U17 Championship.

In the opening match, the "Blue Samurai" crushed U17 UAE with a score of 4-1, thereby temporarily taking the top spot in Group B.

At this time, they are determined to defeat U17 Vietnam to soon complete the goal of passing the group stage.

But this is certainly not an easy task because U17 Vietnam is also very confident after the draw with U17 Australia.

Therefore, if not careful, U17 Japan is at risk of losing to the "Golden Star Warriors".

According to schedule, the match between U17 Vietnam and U17 Japan will take place at 10:00 p.m. on April 7.
