Competition lineup
Pre-match information
The U17 Vietnam team will face the first challenge, U17 Australia, in the 2025 U17 Asian Cup finals.
Before the tournament, under the guidance of coach Cristiano Roland, Gia Bao and his teammates had prepared carefully, including two friendly victories against U17 Oman. The strengths of U17 Vietnam lie in individual technique and the ability to coordinate in groups.
Moving to Western Asia half a month early helps young Vietnamese players get used to the time zone, weather and circadian rhythm.
U17 Vietnam will have to be very careful as the upcoming opponent is an U17 Australia with superior physique. Coach Brad Maloney's team has the ability to play long balls and hot-five balls well.
Therefore, in the upcoming match, U17 Vietnam must have high concentration and reasonable tactics to intercept the opponent. The important thing is that coach Cristiano Roland's team must change the state very quickly, taking advantage of every opportunity.
Playing at 22:00 at night is a difficult time for the U17 Vietnam team. However, with about half a month of training and competition in Oman, U17 Vietnam is expected to be no longer confused, quickly catch up with the match and play fairly with their opponents.
The match between U17 Vietnam and U17 Australia will take place at 22:00 today (April 4) Vietnam time.
