On April 23, Beijing time, in a friendly match, South Korea's national youth lost 0-1 to Vietnam. It's also amazing that South Korea, Asia's top powerhouse, can lose to Vietnam and sink like The Chinese team?
Here comes the truth. In this game, the South Korean team and the Vietnamese team are not adult national teams, and the age is not the same, the South Korean team sent the U19 national team, and the Vietnam team sent the U23 national team, the gap between the two sides is 4 years old.
If a 25-year-old lineup and a 29-year-old lineup PK, the outside world will think that this is the same level of showdown, but the duel between U19 and U23 is not so simple. Many of the U19 players have just become professional players, or are still considering whether to take the road of professional football, compared with the U23 team, the natural gap is relatively large, although the body is good, but the gap in game experience is relatively large. Therefore, the Loss of the Korean team to the Vietnamese team is also understandable.
Of course, we have to acknowledge the progress of Vietnamese football, Vietnam can beat the Chinese team in the round of 12, but also trying to catch up with the first group, the future overthrow of the Asian team may not be surprising. For South Korea's U19 national youth, in addition to losing the game 0-1, there was also a 1-1 draw with the opponent, which was basically completed.
Vietnamese football is currently walking the "Korean Wave", not only actively warming up with South Korean teams, but also Vietnamese coach Park Heng-su is also Korean, and Park Heng-su is a key figure in the current rise of Vietnamese football, and may even become the godfather of Vietnamese football. The national football team is planted in his hands.
