Vietnamese Football Striving to Regain Regional and Continental Success: Focus on U23 Championship
Vietnamese football aims to bounce back after lackluster showings in recent tournaments, eyeing success in regional and international competitions moving forward. Coach Hoang Anh Tuan and the Vietnam U23 Team view the upcoming 2024 AFC U23 Championship as a chance to assert their prowess, seeking to emulate past glories achieved by stars like Nguyen Quang Hai.
Despite not having standout names, the current U23 Vietnam squad boasts improved overall quality, with a notable emphasis on physical attributes. Ten players, including Quan Van Chuan and Nguyen Van Tung, stand taller than 1.80m, showcasing the team’s physical prowess across all positions. Nevertheless, Coach Tuan remains pragmatic, stressing that height alone does not guarantee success on the field.
In a recent statement to Bongdaso, Coach Tuan emphasized the importance of strategic planning and physical conditioning over relying solely on height. He believes that the team’s focus should be on building strength and devising effective gameplay strategies to outmatch opponents, rather than solely relying on physical stature.
As Vietnam gears up for the AFC U23 Championship, the squad’s preparation will be crucial in determining their success on the regional stage. With a blend of height and tactical acumen, Coach Tuan will aim to mold his players into a cohesive unit capable of challenging the best in Asia.
The journey towards redemption begins now for Vietnamese football, with the U23 team’s performance at the upcoming championship serving as a litmus test for their ambitions on the international stage. Stay tuned as the Golden Dragon Army looks to rise and reclaim their standing among the elite in Asian football.
