Thai coach decided to defeat Vietnam in U19 Southeast Asia

The draw makes Thailand unable to improve the second place in Group A. They have seven points but less than Vietnam, the goal difference (+4 compared to +7). Valero said that this was the first time Thailand played on the pitch with more than 17,000 spectators cheering for Indonesia. That made some of his students lack confidence in highly approaching the opponent. The Spanish coach said that Thailand was overwhelmed in the first half, but playing better in the second half. "Unfortunately, we wasted the chance of winning the host," he said.

Thailand had two more matches against Brunei on July 8 and Vietnam two days later. "We will try to win as much as possible before Brunei, and play well and then win Vietnam in the last round," he emphasized.

Only four teams competed in two, including Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar and Indonesia. The Philippines and Brunei after three losses, certainly eliminated.

Vietnam meets Myanmar at the next round of 8/7. Even in the lead, the middle of the South Ding has the number of winning goals in Indonesia. Thailand can make it through Vietnam to take the top of the next fight if it wins Brunei. In that case, Vietnam will have to win Thailand at the last turn to move on.
