Special characters of Vietnam team, can't help but love!

The Vietnamese team did not play very well in the first leg of the Asian Cup qualifiers against Nepal on October 9. However, there were still some positions that always maintained high performance, creating momentum for the whole team.

Great assist, perfect goal

2/3 of the goals scored by the Vietnamese team against Nepal at Go Dau Stadium came from the efforts of the wingers. In Tien Linh's opening goal in the 9th minute, right-back Truong Tien Anh was the one who crossed the ball very accurately, allowing Tien Linh to control the ball neatly, then shoot diagonally to score. And in the goal to increase the score to 3-1 in the 72nd minute, left-back Nguyen Van Vi rushed from the sideline to the center, received the ball bouncing off the opponent's goalkeeper, before kicking it into the net.

The players playing on the two wings were also the rare ones who did not disappoint the Vietnamese team in the match a few days ago. On the right wing, Truong Tien Anh was very fast in the attacks. The consecutive accurate crosses of the player who is playing for The Cong Viettel Club were the effective attack options of the Vietnamese team in the match at Go Dau Stadium, in the context that many other attack options were predicted by the opponent.

On the opposite wing, naturalized player Cao Pendant Quang Vinh attacked and defended rhythmically, he almost did not make too many mistakes in defense, and occasionally launched a few shots, surprising the opponent when joining the attack. Then, Nguyen Van Vi was brought on the field in the second half, strengthening the attack on the left wing, supporting Quang Vinh, before Van Vi scored the goal to seal the 3-1 victory for the Vietnamese team as mentioned above.

Hope in the second leg, the Vietnamese team will win again

The stable performance of the wingers will continue to be a hope for the Vietnamese team in the rematch with Nepal on October 14, at Thong Nhat Stadium (HCMC). In particular, in the match at Thong Nhat Stadium in the next few days, Coach Kim Sang-sik can strengthen the forward line with players with better physique such as Dinh Bac (1.80 m), or Gia Hung (1.81 m), replacing the position of Tuan Hai (1.72 m). At that time, the crosses from the two wings of Truong Tien Anh, Cao Pendant Quang Vinh or Nguyen Van Vi will have better responders inside. From there, the effectiveness of these crosses will have a chance to be raised.

Will coach Kim Sang-sik increase the number of wide areas in the second leg against Nepal?

In addition, right winger Nguyen Thanh Nhan is also likely to appear from the start in the rematch with Nepal. At that time, Truong Tien Anh will have someone to support him right above him and the attacking power on the right wing of the Vietnamese team can be increased.

When the opponent defends densely in the central area and when small group coordination in the central area is not effective, wide play situations will be a reasonable solution for the Vietnamese team. These wide play situations are expected to continue to bring goals to the team led by coach Kim Sang-sik.
