Playing against any Vietnamese side is a always a difficult task to tell the truth. As far as i remember since the 2001 SEA games in Kuala Lumpur, eventhough we managed to beat them in that 2-0 victory, i noticed that Vietnam progressed tremendously as the years gone by.
Plus with some encouraging campaign in the AFF cup, Vietnam's football deem to be looked full with potential, dynamic and moving forward in the right direction. This is what we can called as progressed.
As for tonight's game in Shah Alam, a bitter, severe dissapointment dominating my emosion. Right from the kick off, the visiting team were looked more composed, mentally prepared and always threatening on every movement they've created.
My Tactical analysist:
MALAYSIA:
Datuk K rajagobal (DKRG) used this game as for his final phase of experiment, like giving a full international debut for ATM's Cristie Jayaseelan and the return of his old time favorite forward Zaquan Adha. Mahali Jasuli was given a holding role when replacing the struggling Gary Steven Robbart.
Malaysia start off with the flat 4-4-2 formation. On individual basis, below par performance by Wan Zack Haikal, Zaquan, Norshahrul, Gary Steven, inexperience Cristie and out of sort Safiq Rahim make things worst for the home team.
There were so many misplaced passes, static bodies in our own half, very predictable when the attack reached the final third and we were forced to play long ball due to the great effect of high pressing games by the vietnamese.
Malaysia looked clueless, disjointed and often gave the ball away cheaply. Was it due to our players inability to perform? or was it due to other factor? I discovered some suprised facts on why we unable to perform tonight. It was due to the opponent's factor.
VIETNAM:
Started with 4-2-3-1 and often diverted to 4-5-1 when lost the possesion, the visiting side opted to play with short and effective passes. There were always a small triangle formed when they have the ball with each players in 7 meters distance between them. This make it easier for the passer to find support and other options when needed.
Vietnam started their defence from the forward line. Whenever Aidil or Faizal have the ball and opted to play the ball short for Safiq or Gary, we can see one of the forward will close down the passer, while the other 2 marked down the full backs. This high line pressing successfully forced the passer to pumped it long upfield. This was where we usualy lost the ball. Forced error due to high pressing by Vietnam.
Another factor of their success tonight, was due to the understanding of one touch and move football. Its about pass and be at the right place. Every Vietnam move involved with at least minimum of 3 players. And all of them were similarly identical in term of technical ability. When the fullbacks operating on the flanks, the defensive midfielder always behind him to give any support and options. In between of forward line and midfield, there were so many movement from the running midfielders and usualy they received the splitting pass that confused the Malaysian rearguard.
SUMMARY:
Vietnam truly deserved this convincing 0-2 victory, and i thought the best team won tonight. What i realy impressed with, was the fact that they were technically superior than our players. Vietnam successfully adopting total football and they play to their strength. Vietnam is on the right track, if not the same path as the Koreans when they build their football 30 years ago. This victory proved that their V league produced better technical players than our Super league.
