On the evening of October 13, the Vietnamese team lost 0-2 to Uzbekistan in a closed friendly match.

This is the match where coach Troussier sent out a team of many young players to test the playing style.

However, the French coach's experiment failed when the Vietnamese team did not play well.

According to statistics, the red team only held the ball for less than 30% of the time and did not have any shots on target throughout the match.

These are the worst numbers of the Vietnamese team since coach Troussier took over.

In the match at Dalian Stadium, Viet Anh and his teammates advocated controlling and attacking play, but the red-shirted players mostly just passed back and forth in the midfield area.

Not to mention approaching the opponent's penalty area, the Vietnamese team was almost locked down from the final third of the field by the opponent's pressing style of play.

In the previous match with China, although they also lost 0-2, the "Golden Star Warriors" played much more impressively.

Vietnam team held the ball 63% of the time throughout the match and at one point this number was over 70%.

Back to the match that took place on October 13, in fact, Uzbekistan played quite slowly and their attack was not too strong.

The Central Asian team's attacks were quite simple, but the red shirt defense could not block them and revealed many weaknesses.

According to the schedule, on October 17, the Vietnamese team will have a guest match on the Korean field.
