In the opening match of ASIAD 19, Vietnam Olympic team won 4-2 against Mongolia. Coach Hoang Anh Tuan's team completed the goal of winning against the weakest team in Group B, before entering 2 important matches with Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Commenting on this match, Khaosod (Thailand) newspaper emphasized: "Vietnam Olympic still showed excellent performance when winning 4-2 against Mongolia. They had a perfect start when winning 3 points.
That is the premise for coach Hoang Anh Tuan's team to look forward to the next two consecutive matches against Iran and Saudi Arabia."
Suara Merdeka (Indonesia) newspaper said that everything is not okay with the Vietnam Olympic team after the victory over Mongolia.
Because both goals conceded by the team in this match came from individual mistakes, especially the inaccurate catch of goalkeeper Quan Van Chuan in the second half's extra time.
Bola Sport (Indonesia) newspaper affirmed: "Vietnam Olympic took the initiative for most of this match. They also had the initiative in terms of score when maintaining the gap with Mongolia. Vietnam Olympic's 4-2 victory accurately reflected the situation of this match."
Bola.Okezone (Indonesia) has an article: "Young stars win 4-2!". The author believes that the Mongolia Olympics is not a big challenge for the Vietnam Olympics. Instead, a bigger challenge will appear for the team in the next two matches against Iran and Saudi Arabia".
Similarly, Tribunnews (Indonesia) said that the Vietnam Olympic team had an easy victory. That gave rise to a subjective mentality in some players.
After the match with Mongolia, Vietnam Olympic team temporarily leads Group B with 3 points, 2 points more than Saudi Arabia and Iran. In the next match, coach Hoang Anh Tuan's team will face Iran at 6:30 p.m. on September 21.
