Hong Kong coach Cheun Kin Fung favors Indonesia U-20 National Team than Vietnam to qualify for the finals of the U-20 Asian Cup 2023.
Kin Fung said Indonesia and Vietnam are both good teams. However, the factor of playing in front of the public itself made it a favorite for Garuda Nusantara to qualify through the winner of Group F for the 2023 U-20 Asian Cup Qualification.
“It is difficult to say who will be at the top of the final standings. Both teams are equally good. The Indonesian U-20 and Vietnam national teams are both teams with good quality and level,” said Kin Fung after Hong Kong was defeated 5-1 by the national team. Indonesia U-20.
“However, if I had to choose one I would favor Indonesia. Being the host is an advantage. However, it was a good match and I can’t wait to face Indonesia again,” he continued.
The Indonesian U-20 and Vietnam national teams will play a decisive match to compete for the position of group F champion. So far, the U-20 national team is at the top of the standings after winning over Hong Kong.
Shin Tae Yong’s team has the right to occupy the top of the standings despite having the same number of points and goal difference as Vietnam. This is because Marselino Ferdinand and his friends have good discipline reports because they have fewer yellow cards.
The Indonesian U-20 national team has so far only collected two yellow cards. Meanwhile, Vietnam has received three yellow cards from the two matches that have been played.
The fight for tickets for the U-20 Asian Cup finals in 2023 with the status of Group F winners will still be determined in the last match when the U-20 Indonesian National Team meets Vietnam at the GBT Stadium on Sunday (18/9).
