Chinese U20 coach Cheng Yaodong has shared in Sina newspaper about the level between Vietnamese and Chinese soccer.
Coach Cheng Yaodong leads China U20. Before that, he held two national clubs, Shanghai COSCO Huili and Shanghai Shenxin.
In its comment, the Sina newspaper quoted this coach when he did not appreciate Vietnamese football: “Stay U23 Asian Cup 2018 in Changzhou, Vietnam U23 won the runner-up title and the whole country of Vietnam celebrated. Many fans believe that Vietnamese soccer will become a formidable opponent of Chinese soccer.
However, in the eyes of the Chinese U20 team coach Cheng Yaodong, Vietnam is still only a rookie team in Asia, still at a very long distance and cannot threaten the Chinese team in the near future.“.
U22 Vietnam beat China U22 2-0 in a friendly match away from home, although the team was absent from Quang Hai, Van Hau was busy concentrating with the Vietnamese team.
The newspaper also makes comparisons on two different football backgrounds: “Previously, if Chinese teams met Vietnam, fans wondered how many goals and how we would win against them.
But recently, many people consider Vietnamese soccer to be a threat to Chinese soccer, and they think that the Chinese team may be defeated if they face the army of coach Park Hang Seo.
Many opinions also believe that young football, including Chinese U20, will have to be concerned about the threat of the Vietnamese rival, but coach Cheng Yaodong believes that this is not justified. Coach Cheng claimed that if he knew Vietnam, he would get good results with his students to bring joy to Chinese fans.“.
In the last two years, Vietnamese football has had more achievements than China. U23 Vietnam won second place at the 2018 U23 Asian Championship and entered the 2019 Asian Cup quarter-finals, which are two Chinese soccer tournaments that were eliminated in the group stage and round 1/8.
At the 2020 Asian U23 Championship, Vietnam U23, despite being eliminated in the group stage, the Park Hang Seo manager drew with Jordan, UAE and lost to Korea in the final match. Meanwhile, China U23 lost all 3 matches against Korea, Uzbekistan and Iran.
In a head-to-head clash between the two teams in October 2019, U22 Vietnam beat U22 China 2-0 in a friendly away game, with a double from striker Tien Linh.
It was the game in which coach Park Hang Seo beat his former colleague Guus Hiddink and after that loss, the Dutch strategist was fired.
