Vietnam team needs warriors with great desire
VFF Vice President Duong Vu Lam said: “In addition to the experienced faces who will play the role of pillars, creating the framework for the Vietnamese team led by coach Kim Sang-sik, new factors are needed for the AFF Cup. These factors will create surprises in the team's playing style, and at the same time create better competitive motivation for the whole team.”
Recently, coach Kim Sang-sik himself has had a headache with a number of injuries and the decline in performance of some star players, reducing their motivation to contribute to the national team.
However, at the current stage, the Korean coach may find a way out for his personnel problem, if he pays attention to the factors playing in the V-League.
For example, midfielder Hai Long of Hanoi FC may not have been as highly regarded as some of his seniors playing in the attacking midfield position, but he is currently one of the best performing domestic players in this position. Hai Long is also very ambitious because he has never had success at the national team level.

Similar is the case of midfielder Minh Khoa in Binh Duong team. Minh Khoa is one of the best central midfielders in V-League 2024-2025, up to now.

And those are not the last names that are in need of a chance from coach Kim Sang-sik. Among the new faces, if called up to the national team, could be right-back Ngo Tung Quoc of Binh Duong.

A player who can successfully replace Ho Tan Tai's role on the right wing of the Southeast team, pushing Ho Tan Tai to play as a center back, then that player is certainly not inferior in terms of professional ability.
In the match against HAGL in round 6 of V-League on November 2, Tung Quoc continuously stirred up the left wing of the mountain town team, contributing greatly to Binh Duong's 4-1 victory.
In previous matches, Tung Quoc was always one of the most stable players and trusted by coach Hoang Anh Tuan.
Tung Quoc was the captain of Ho Chi Minh City FC in the 2023-2024 season. He was the key player who helped the city team unexpectedly enter the top 4 last season, helping Ho Chi Minh City FC become the team that conceded the fewest goals in V-League 2023-2024.

Perhaps because he wanted to better observe the new factors, in the last round, instead of attending the heated confrontation between Thanh Hoa and Hanoi FC at Thanh Hoa Stadium, Coach Kim Sang-sik went to Hoa Xuan Stadium (Da Nang) to watch the match between The Cong Viettel and Quang Nam .
The Korean coach has probably heard about midfielder Truong Tien Anh and striker Tran Danh Trung from The Cong Viettel. Mr. Kim wants to see them play directly before making a decision on the list of the Vietnamese team training in Korea, about 2 weeks later.
Not only that, there is also another old and new factor that cannot be ignored, which is that Ho Tan Tai is playing in the position of center back, instead of right back at Binh Duong Club as mentioned. Previously, in the 2023-2024 season, Ho Tan Tai was arranged by former coach Tran Tien Dai of Hanoi Police Club to play in the position of central midfielder. This could be a new solution, for a fairly versatile personnel, making Mr. Kim Sang-sik think when he needs someone to "cover" the gaps because some injuries can always appear at any time during each national team training session.
In general, as long as coach Kim Sang-sik closely follows the movements of the V-League, the Korean coach will have more interesting discoveries.
