“Facing an easy opponent like Laos, coach Kim Sang Sik has many options to win. Personally, I think Xuan Son should enter the field at the end of the match. Even though this player is energetic, eager and very hungry for the ball, in my opinion, Son should not be used from the beginning.

When the match is going in a favorable direction, it would be more reasonable for Xuan Son to enter the field at the end of the match, because the opponent will be tired at that time," commented commentator Quang Huy.

According to commentator Quang Huy, using Xuan Son has certain risks when he has just recovered from injury: “Let's imagine it like this: Xuan Son's injury in the second leg of the 2024 ASEAN Cup final was a stroke of bad luck. But from that play, it was clear that Son was very excited when entering the game.

We do not want to repeat such a situation with a player who has just recovered from injury. I would like to reiterate that coach Kim Sang Sik should use Xuan Son at the end of the match to avoid risks."

Commenting on the match against Laos, commentator Quang Huy said: “I think the Vietnamese team will still use its key players to ensure a win. The attack line is Tien Linh in the middle, Tuan Hai on the left, and on the right it could be Hai Long or Quang Hai. Hoang Duc plays as a central midfielder.

I like a scenario where the Vietnamese team wins with a safe score, coach Kim Sang Sik puts new players on the field, then they will gradually get into the rhythm, making it easier for them. Of course, we want to aim for the long term and have a succession, but how to "insert" people is also something to pay attention to."

"I'm looking forward to a match where we have a big win and play with excitement. Although U22 Vietnam is playing in China, Mr. Kim still includes some new faces in the national team. This is a good thing because if we still only call up all the old players, the team's threshold will only be this high, it cannot be exceeded.

In March next year, when there are some U22 players, Xuan Son is at his best and maybe there are also Henrio and Gustavo Santos, then the Vietnam team will be the strongest version," commentator Quang Huy concluded.

The Vietnam vs Laos match will kick off at 7:00 p.m. on November 19 at the Laos National Stadium (Vientiane, Laos).
