In the opening match taking place on the afternoon of July 19 within the framework of Group B, the U23 Vietnam team will face U23 Laos. This is considered a very suitable opponent for coach Kim Sang-sik and his team to enter the field and have a favorable start. Because in general, the U23 Vietnam team is rated much higher than the young team from the neighboring country.
Traveling to Indonesia with the mindset of the champion in the last 2 U23 AFF Cups (2022 and 2023), U23 Vietnam has prepared very carefully.
The team gathered early, practiced and played many quality matches. Coach Kim Sang-sik himself also screened and selected 23 best players to participate in the tournament.
In the context of falling into Group B with the presence of U23 Laos and U23 Cambodia, as long as they play to their full potential, Khuat Van Khang and his teammates will not have too much difficulty in taking the top spot and the only ticket straight to the semi-finals. Of course, the boys in red shirts are not allowed to be subjective and must always enter the field with the highest fighting spirit.
In the 6 previous encounters with Laos U23 teams, Vietnam U23 won all, scoring 23 goals and conceding only 5. However, the remarkable progress of young football in the land of a million elephants means that coach Kim Sang-sik's students still need to maintain high concentration. Especially when the opponent must win to have any hope of advancing.
If they win all 3 points in the opening match, the door to the next round will be wide open for U23 Vietnam. Because if they do not lose to U23 Cambodia in the final match, the Golden Star Warriors will finish at the top of the table.
The goal is to successfully defend the championship, but the pressure on the shoulders of Viktor Le, Van Khang, Van Truong, Quoc Viet, Dinh Bac... is not too great. After all, this is the generation of players that we have high expectations for their ability to mature and advance in bigger arenas in the future.
There will certainly be Vietnamese fans at the Patriot Chandrabhaga Stadium in Bekasi City to cheer on Kim Sang-sik and his team. However, if they cannot come to the stadium in person due to geographical distance, fans can still watch and cheer on U23 Vietnam through television or online platforms of VTV and FPT Play.
