According to the organizers, the match between Vietnam and China had only about 9,000 fans in attendance. This is a number that Sina newspaper called "shameful" and showed the disappointment of fans with the Chinese team .

Sina was impressed with the ball control ability of the Vietnamese team and compared coach Troussier and his team with Barca.

Sina also criticized the Chinese team as "walkers" and used the word "disappointing" because at times the home players could not touch the ball for 5 minutes.

The Chinese press was really only satisfied with the result of the match. Most did not praise the way China defeated Vietnam.

Many Chinese football experts want coach Aleksandar Janković and his team to convincingly defeat Vietnam in both score and game.

Sina reporter Xiao Nan said that the Chinese team chose to play defensively against Vietnam and waited for the opponent's mistake to score. This is the way a weak team plays against a strong opponent. This is not the same as China being considered stronger than Vietnam.

Meanwhile, fan Lui Shaopeng commented under an article on Sina newspaper, saying that Vietnam used to be a weak team in Asia but now they make China play defensively.

Despite defeating Vietnam, China coach Aleksandar Janković continues to be called out. Fan Shi Wei wrote on social media: "Aleksandar Jankovic has not helped China show its strength. China needs a better coach."
