In the afternoon practice session of July 23 of the Vietnam U.23 team, central defender Pham Ly Duc did not participate due to an ankle injury.

Vietnam U.23 team relaxes

Because the entire U.23 Vietnam team had just gone through a relatively difficult match against the U.23 Cambodia team, the training load on the afternoon of July 23 was relatively light. The players were allowed to relax, practice recovery exercises and improve their ball feel such as juggling and dribbling. After that, the team played a lot on July 22, jogging around the field and stretching. In particular, center back Ly Duc was allowed to rest at the hotel to quickly regain his best physical condition, looking forward to the confrontation with the U.23 Philippines team in the semi-finals.

Meanwhile, the players who played little or not at all in the match against U.23 Cambodia continued to practice tactics. Notably, Dinh Bac stood in the center, taking on the task of dealing cards. This shows that the striker's playing style is undergoing certain changes. He is not only the main scorer, but also plays the role of a bridge between the lines with a wide range of activities. This was demonstrated in the 2 matches in the group stage.

The first preparation step of the Vietnam U.23 team

At this time, the U.23 Vietnam team has made the first preparations for the confrontation with the U.23 Philippines in the semi-finals. Midfielder Xuan Bac shared: "This afternoon, the whole team has conducted a dissection of the tape and analyzed the opponent. According to the preliminary assessment, the U.23 Philippines team is quite strong, playing closely, the coaching staff will come up with reasonable tactics to win. We aim to stop a collective, not just focus on the naturalized factor of the opponent.

Coach Kim Sang-sik also reminded us to be more confident to get better results. At the same time, the whole team also needs to practice more finishing situations, to be more confident. Not only me, the whole team missed many opportunities."
