Coach Kim Sang Sik is quietly making his mark in the Southeast Asian arena. In just 7 months, he has helped the Vietnamese teams win two titles: the AFF Cup 2024 (Vietnam team) and the U23 Southeast Asian Championship (U23 Vietnam).

After this tournament, the Indonesian press had a different view of coach Kim Sang Sik. Banyumas Media commented: “This is not the first time that Indonesian teams have lost under coach Kim Sang Sik. Six months ago, the Indonesian team lost 0-1 to the Vietnamese team at the AFF Cup 2024.
In the same year, the Korean coach defeated Indonesian teams twice in important tournaments.
Many people call Coach Kim Sang Sik the successor of Coach Park Hang Seo, who has caused many difficulties for Indonesian football. The difference is that Coach Kim Sang Sik is a bit calmer than Mr. Park.
For Indonesian football fans, the name Kim Sang Sik has become a nightmare after repeatedly destroying the dream of Indonesian football.
Analyzing coach Kim Sang Sik’s tactics, Banyumas Media wrote: “Kim’s tactics have proven effective. He has a neat and efficient playing style. In the two matches this year, the Indonesian teams have failed to score against the Vietnamese teams.

Notably, in the final match of the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 tournament, U23 Indonesia could not do anything against U23 Vietnam despite playing in front of the cheers of home fans. The defense of U23 Vietnam played very solidly and methodically. The tight playing style of U23 Vietnam caused difficulties for Indonesia's key players, especially the main striker Jens Raven.
After the success of the U23 Southeast Asian tournament, U23 Vietnam will enter two important tournaments: the U23 Asian qualifiers in September and the 33rd SEA Games in December.
