DOHA, sport.warnamerdeka.com - French media, Lucarne-opposee, predicts that the Indonesia U-23 and Vietnam national teams will be the dark horse teams in the U-23 Asian Cup in Qatar.
The two unseeded ones will disrupt the top teams in the group phase of this tournament and this has been proven.
Indonesia qualified for the last 8 or quarter-finals after successfully eliminating Australia, one of the top teams, and Jordan in Group A.
The media gave its predictions recently and the results really proved to be real, as reported by the Malaysian media, Makan Bola.
Apart from Indonesia and Vietnam, Jordan and China, it will be difficult for other teams to qualify for the next round.
The media has labeled Vietnamese and Indonesian troops as troublemaker squads.
Lucarne-opposee also predicted that Japan, South Korea and Australia were the best candidates for the top three championship positions.
But this time, his predictions regarding Australia were not proven, because they were eliminated in the group phase.
The media believes coach Shin Tae-yong knows the best way to create a surprise in this championship.
STY also proved that it could cause the biggest surprise by beating Australia with a score of 1-0, in the second match of Group A.
Meanwhile, Vietnam is without Phillippe Troussier who has resigned, but his successor Hoang Anh Tuan is able to bring a surprise to this championship.
In its review, the media considered Hoang Anh Tuan to be somewhat less skilled from a tactical perspective than Troussier.
However, the coach recognized the character of each player he brought to Qatar for this championship.
Hoang Anh Tuan once brought Vietnam to the semifinals of the U-19 Asian Cup (2016) and was the coach for Vietnam at the U-19 World Cup in 2017.
Vietnam in this year's U-23 Asian Cup was able to qualify for the quarter-finals after defeating the Malaysian U-23 National Team.
Vietnam eliminated Malaysia and Kuwait in Group D. Meanwhile, Indonesia eliminated Australia and Jordan in Group A. ***
