U23 Vietnam vs. U23 Australia: Keeping the hope
AFC U23 Championship 2016
8:30pm (GMT+07:00), U23 Vietnam will have second game against U23 Australia in the AFC U23 Championship 2016. Because two teams lost first game in group D, it is the last chance for both of them to keep the hope for moving forward.
In the first game, U23 Vietnam lost 1-3 to U23 Jordan. “This is our first experience playing in the final round of qualification,“ said Miura.
“Our players, many are 19 or 20-year-old players so they have less experience and it´s part of the process of developing as football players."
“There´s a big difference, in the technique with the ball we are OK, but in the duel situation we lost a lot and we learned from this.“
In the opposite side, U23 Australia lost 0-1 to U23 UAE in the first game.

“We have to dig deep now,“ said former Australia international Vidmar.
“We saw Jordan beat Vietnam 3-1 so the next game is very important and we really have to dig deep and get two wins to give ourselves a chance.
“I definitely believe we can come back, and the chance is there if we win the next game, but I am confident they will bounce back against Vietnam.“
