Doan Van Hau unexpectedly commented on the skill level of his younger teammates in the Vietnam U23 team before the match against China.

Ahead of the semi-final match, the belief in the U23 Vietnam team was also clearly expressed by the senior players in the national team. Defender Doan Van Hau recently shared his frank and confident thoughts about the level of the young Vietnamese team.

"I think for the current Vietnam U23 team, there are no difficult opponents. Under coach Kim Sang Sik, the Vietnam U23 team is a very strong, stable, and indomitable group," Doan Van Hau affirmed.

According to Doan Van Hau, the biggest difference in the current Vietnam U23 team lies in the remarkable maturity of the young players: "The Vietnam U23 players have played very maturely and achieved many successes. I believe the team will go even further. In the semi-final, I believe the Vietnamese players will win to advance to the final."

The defender, born in 1999, also particularly emphasized the role of coach Kim Sang Sik in the U23 Vietnam team's triumphant journey: "Coach Kim Sang Sik has built a very strong and extremely disciplined team to participate in this tournament."

Concluding his message, Doan Van Hau sent his best wishes to his younger teammates: "I wish the Vietnam U23 team to maintain their spirit, play well in the next two matches, and win."

The Vietnam U23 team is entering the semi-final match against China U23 with great confidence, after a convincing performance throughout the AFC U23 Asian Championship. The team in red not only achieved positive results but also made a strong impression with their playing style, composure, and tenacious fighting spirit in every match.

Since the group stage, the Vietnam U23 team has shown the image of a cohesive, disciplined team that is increasingly improving tactically. The young players have played maturely, controlled the game well, and knew how to overcome pressure at crucial moments.

With consistent form, confident spirit, and strong support from fans, the Vietnam U23 team has a great opportunity to continue their memorable journey at the Asian U23 Championship and is determined to overcome the challenge posed by China U23 in the semi-finals.

On the opposing side, while they didn't score many goals or play flamboyant football, the Chinese U23 team proved that in cup competitions, discipline and composure are sometimes the shortest paths to making history.

If you only look at the statistics, the story of the Chinese U23 team might be questionable. In four matches played, they have only scored one goal in regular time.

For those accustomed to judging football by the number of goals and dominant performances, this was a tough campaign to swallow. But cup football isn't decided by aesthetics, but by the ability to survive and progress. In that respect, the Chinese U23 team did very well.

Under the guidance of Spanish coach Antonio Puche, the Chinese U23 team did not seek to compete for possession. They proactively dropped deep, maintained a tight formation, and closed off spaces in the midfield. Every attacking move by their opponents was met with a dense defensive line.

It wasn't a passive defensive approach, but rather a deliberate restraint. China accepted possession, but denied the opponent the space to finish the game.

In cup competitions, a good goalkeeper can change the fate of an entire tournament. The Chinese U23 team demonstrated this.

What's even more noteworthy is the historical context. In their five previous appearances at the U23 Asian Championship, China has never advanced beyond the group stage. In 15 matches, they've only won twice.
