U23 Vietnam will face a big challenge when facing U23 Malaysia in the semifinals of U23 Southeast Asia (AFF) 2023. However, with high enthusiasm and technique, U23 Vietnam is expected to win a ticket to the final of the tournament.
Both teams have the strongest squads. U23 Vietnam and U23 Malaysia both have 7 players participating in the 2023 SEA Games. Several prominent names from U23 Malaysia who appeared at the 2023 SEA Games such as goalkeeper Azim Al Amin, defender Ruven Thiran, striker Aiman Afizul.
As expected, U23 Vietnam qualified from the group stage with 2 wins. Having changed the line-up so that players who rarely play internationally can take the field, U23 Vietnam’s game is sometimes unstable in front of U23 Laos and U23 Philippines. This is understandable for Hoang Anh Tuan’s coaching team.
Meanwhile, U23 Malaysia made a strong impression by leading the group with 2 wins. This was even more surprising when in group B, U23 Indonesia was considered stronger but U23 Malaysia managed to make a spectacular comeback. It is the performance that determines the true strength of the coach Elavarasan’s team.
Of course, there is no more experimentation for the two teams in the semifinals because this is a decisive match, must strive for the highest title when both want to at least get into the finals of the tournament. In terms of experience and mentality, U23 Vietnam may be better trained in many international tournaments.
Apart from having 7 players participating in the 2023 SEA Games, many players from U23 Vietnam have played in the 2023 U20 Asian Cup while U23 Malaysia were knocked out since the qualifying round. Obviously, matches against the best young Asian teams such as U23 Iran, U23 Australia, U23 Qatar have helped coach Hoang Anh Tuan’s players improve their skills, experience and international professionalism.
However, U23 Malaysia is not an easy opponent for U23 Vietnam. They play in a power style with high balls, long passes over the line are power in attack. However, Malaysia’s U23s can also make a difference with balls in the midfield. The midfielders from U23 Malaysia have good control of the ball in the central area.
Facing an Indonesian U23 who played enthusiastically, but coach Elavarasan’s players were still able to maintain a dominant position in the central area to make a comeback in the second half, thus winning. Apart from that, Malaysia’s U23 front line also has 2 high potential players, namely Afif and Fergus Tierney (from Scotland). Both have scored 2 goals each after 2 group stage matches.
This is a game in difficult situations. But with a favorable head-to-head history and a 2-1 win in the group stage of the most recent 3023 SEA Games, U23 Vietnam is expected to overcome U23 Malaysia to enter the final of the 2023 AFF U23 Cup.
