MEDIA South Korea’s Inter Football criticizes the coach Vietnam, Park Hang-seo, who failed to bring Golden Star –nickname Vietnam– finished as winners of Group B AFF Cup 2020. They considered Vietnam a total failure because it could not compete with Indonesian National team who finished as group winners.
Vietnam was initially championed to finish as the winner of Group B of the AFF Cup 2020. This was because in terms of game and performance, Golden Star was called the best compared to the four other contestants in Group B, namely the Indonesian, Malaysian, Cambodian and Laos national teams.

However, after going through four matches, the Vietnam national team had to be willing to finish as runner-up. In fact, Nguyen Tien Linh and his friends performed extraordinary in the group phase.
Vietnam recorded three wins and one draw. The 2018 AFF Cup champion also scored nine goals without a single goal.
It’s just that Vietnam is less productive than the Indonesian national team made by Shin Tae-yong. True, the collection of points for the Indonesian national team is exactly the same as Vietnam in second position, which is 10 points.
Not only points, the goal difference between Indonesia and Vietnam is also exactly the same, namely +9. However, the Indonesian national team has the right to occupy a better position because it has scored more goals, which is 13 compared to Vietnam’s nine.
