Trainer Vietnam U-16 Nguyen Quoc Tuan attributes defeat in AFF U-16 Cup 2022 with the incident at the 2022 AFF U-19 Cup.
Vietnam’s fate in the U-16 AFF Cup is on the line after losing 1-2 to the U-16 Indonesian national team in the last match of Group A at the Maguwoharjo Stadium, Saturday (6/8) night.
The victory over Vietnam brought Indonesia U-16s to the semifinals of the 2022 AFF U-16 Cup, while Vietnam was waiting for the results of other group matches.

“Maybe after the defeat in the 2022 AFF U-19 Cup, Indonesia did everything in its power to get their face back,” said Quoc Tuan quoted from the official website. VFF.
“What Indonesia U16 played in this tournament proves that,” said Quoc Tuan.
In the 2022 AFF U-19 Cup, Indonesia failed to qualify for the semifinals after losing head to head from Vietnam. The Indonesian camp accused Vietnam and Thailand of ‘flirting’ or not playing fair when the two teams met each other in the decisive match. The incident at the 2022 AFF U-19 Cup became a hot issue in the Southeast Asian region.
Meanwhile, after losing to Indonesia, Vietnam only had to wait for the results of the Group B matches: Myanmar vs Cambodia, Malaysia vs Australia.

“As for Vietnam U-16, the team will play better if it reaches the semi-finals,” said Quoc Tuan.
