On April 14, Beijing time, the 31st Southeast Asian Games will soon open. The host team, Vietnam, is expected to surpass Thailand and the Philippines to become the team with the most gold medals. In addition, they also have a wish to be able to beat myanmar in football matches.
For most teams in Asia, Myanmar is average and no one will take them seriously. However, Vietnam is an exception. In the past 17 years of history, Vietnam has drawn 1 and lost 3 to Myanmar at the Eastern Games. It can be said that the Myanmar U23 is the nemesis of the Vietnamese U23 team.
Vietnamese media broke the news that their U23 team has a shameful history.
In the past, the Vietnamese team has been the leader of Southeast Asian football, they have played back and forth with the Thai team many times, and they have also defeated Malaysia, the Philippines and Cambodia many times, but there is no way to get myanmar.
Unlike Vietnam, myanmar has always been an amateur team, and domestic players basically play in Thailand. But in the history of the East Games, the last time Vietnam U23 defeated its opponent was in 2005. After 2007, as long as it encountered the Myanmar U23, the Vietnamese U23 was either flat or lost.
In 2007, in the Olympic qualifiers, the Vietnamese olympic team defeated Oman and Lebanon to reach the final round. After the group, they encountered the Japanese Olympic team. In the end, the team only lost 3-4 to the opponent. At that time, Vietnamese media said that if it were not for the Chinese team being the host of the Olympic Games, they would be the ones who advanced.
With this confidence, Vietnam participated in that year's Eastern Games, and as a result they lost 1-3 to Myanmar U23 in the semi-finals. It was also the first time in the history of the East Games that they had lost to their opponents. In the ensuing third-place battle, Vietnam lost 5-0 to Singapore and the foreign coaches were dismissed.
In 2011, Vietnam's U23 encountered Myanmar's U23 at the Eastern Games, and the two sides exchanged a white paper 0-0.
In 2013, the two teams met in a bronze medal battle. As a result, the team conceded four goals in a row and eventually lost 1-4.
In 2015, Vietnam U23 met Myanmar in the semi-finals, and as a result, myanmar players beat Vietnam 2-1 with only two shots on goal. It is worth mentioning that Gui Ngoc Hai (93 years) and Nguyen Gong Feng (95 years), who participated in the match with the national football team, were the main players of the Vietnamese U23 team in that game, and now both will welcome their second child. That's why they don't look like players under the age of 30.
Although the Vietnamese team defeated the national football team, they did not have much to do with the Myanmar team. Of course, after many years of playing against Vietnam, the Myanmar team has also summed up a set of its own playing styles.
Over the years, the Vietnamese team has improved, but it is far less Chinese as godlike as the Internet says. Those so-called outstanding young vietnamese people in 1997 and 98 are much older than Takushi Nanye and Huang Xican.
Defending in the first half and crushing opponents in the final moments was almost the only way Myanmar U23 could beat Vietnam in the last 17 years. However, li tie used this method, but Li Xiaopeng's national football team did not use it once.
This is also why, in the two matches with Vietnam, the national football team is similar in data, but the results obtained are so different.
