" THANKS TO THE STORM" OF INJURY
Since leading the Vietnamese team, coach Kim Sang-sik has probably never had to face such a widespread and serious injury situation as he does now. The fact that the final stage of the V-League has had some thrilling matches has left the team without many important players. In defense, Thanh Binh, Viet Anh... In the front lines, Van Toan, Xuan Son, Tan Tai, Vi Hao have not been able to return. Even players who are training with the team such as Dinh Trieu, Duc Chien, Cong Phuong, Tien Linh have to practice outside so that doctors can monitor their injury status as well as the phenomenon of overload. On June 2, Cong Phuong returned to tactical training with his teammates.

If in the goalkeeper position, the brilliance of Nguyen Filip in the Hanoi Police team jersey temporarily reassures the team's coaching staff, the other positions of the defense, especially the central defenders, leave significant concerns. In theory, the trio Duy Manh - Thanh Chung - Bui Tien Dung are playing well. They have the skills, experience, and battle spirit and have also played well, supported and covered each other well in the last two matches against Cambodia and Laos. But like most other players, these factors are showing signs of overload. Additional faces such as Van Toi or Ly Duc are still very inexperienced. The biggest hope among the new recruits is probably Cao Pendant Quang Vinh, who can play well in both the left central defender position and the role of winger.
The afternoon training session on June 2 was the first training session in which the Vietnamese team had its full squad since the group meeting, with the return of a number of players who suffered varying degrees of pain and had to rest and recover in previous training sessions. Coach Kim Sang-sik also took the opportunity to deploy an in-depth tactical training plan. There is not much time left to prepare for the away match in Malaysia, so the Korean coach and his colleagues are making every effort to build the most optimal solution for the Vietnamese team, aiming for a positive result at Bukit Jalil on June 10. On June 6, the team will depart for Malaysia.

Another concern comes from the attack line when the team is lacking quality strikers. Xuan Son, Van Toan, Vi Hao are injured for a long time, Tien Linh joined the team in an unstable condition and did not play in Binh Duong 's most recent match in the V-League. The hope Cong Phuong (who has scored 8 goals for Binh Phuoc in the first division this season) has to continuously practice outside. The team is really having difficulty in choosing excellent strikers for the decisive match on June 10. It is very likely that the attack line will have to rely on familiar names like Tuan Hai, Ngoc Quang and wait for punches from the second line with the good form of Hoang Duc, Hai Long, Quang Hai.
Will Mr. Kim let the ADVENTURE team ATTACK?
At the peak of their form, the Vietnamese team always took the initiative to play offensively and win 3 points, like the way coach Park Hang-seo's team defeated Malaysia in the past, or the team led by coach Kim defeated Thailand to be crowned Southeast Asian champions at the end of last year.
But we are currently in a difficult situation, without the best personnel and form. Meanwhile, Malaysia has been very well prepared and the team led by coach Peter Cklamovski is improving day by day. They gathered on May 19 with 30 players, including impressive names such as midfielder Hector Hevel returning from Portuguese first division team Portimonense, Spanish-born defender Gabriel Palmero and naturalized Brazilian striker Paulo Jossue (who scored the equalizer in the friendly against world- ranked 72nd team Cape Verde).
Mr. Kim will have to calculate carefully.

Therefore, the choice of playing style and approach of coach Kim Sang-sik will be the key point for us to hope for a positive result at Bukit Jalil. Since Xuan Son's injury, the team's playing style has changed somewhat - simpler and more pragmatic. Focus on playing solidly at home, absolutely controlling the midfield with quality midfielders like Hoang Duc, Hai Long, Quang Hai. And the front line will use dynamic, aggressive players, ready to sacrifice for the team like Ngoc Quang, Tuan Hai. Vietnam will play solidly, safely and be ready to exploit the opponent's mistakes. Although Malaysia is playing at home, with the pressure to win to create an advantage, there will also be a certain impatience.
Hopefully, under the skillful leadership of coach Kim and his colleagues, the Vietnamese team will be a cohesive team with a varied playing style and will achieve good results against Malaysia.
