Some of the pillars of U22 Vietnam in previous matches did not start in the bronze medal match against U22 Myanmar. Coach Philippe Troussier used Doan Huy Hoang, Khuat Van Khang, Le Quoc Nhat Nam, Luong Duy Cuong, Nguyen Van Truong to replace the positions of Tran Quang Thinh, Nguyen Thanh Nhan, Nguyen Van Tung, Nguyen Duc Phu and Quan Van Chuan.
Striker Thanh Nhan was injured in the match against U22 Indonesia. The collision with the U22 Indonesia player caused this player to have pain in his ankle. Meanwhile, Nguyen Van Tung also suffered a relapse of his old injury. This striker's injury is not serious, he can play but coach Troussier decided not to take the risk. Thanh Nhan and Van Tung are absent but Nguyen Quoc Viet can return. The HAGL striker recovered faster than expected and was registered to play. However, Quoc Viet is not sure to be used. In Thanh Nhan's position, coach Troussier chose Khuat Van Khang. Meanwhile, the center forward of U22 Vietnam in the bronze medal match of men's football at the 32nd SEA Games will be Nguyen Van Truong. Coach Troussier continues to trust Le Van Do in the attack. This midfielder was disappointing in the matches at the 32nd SEA Games and is one of the most criticized players of U22 Vietnam.
Nguyen Van Tung is not registered to compete.
U22 Vietnam has not finished its mission at SEA Games 32. The bronze medal match is an opportunity for coach Philippe Troussier to redeem his title and confidence after the defeat against U22 Indonesia in the semi-finals. Ending the tournament with a win can somewhat ease the sadness of the players as well as the fans.
In terms of playing style, U22 Vietnam has gradually improved in controlling and putting pressure on their opponents. Their problem lies in their ability to make appropriate decisions, while their defense is a weakness. In addition to the problem of playing style, the players' mentality is a problem that coach Troussier must overcome at this time.
Nguyen Van Tung is not registered to compete.
