Extremely surprising personnel for the match against Laos: Xuan Son on the bench, Quang Hai starting with Van Lam and Van Do

On the evening of November 19, Xuan Son will be on the bench in the match between Vietnam and Laos in the 5th round of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers. The task of scoring goals will be placed on the shoulders of stars like Quang Hai, Hoang Duc, and Tien Linh.

About 1 hour and 30 minutes before the match, the Vietnam Football Federation announced the 11 names that will start for the Vietnamese team. In goal, goalkeeper Van Lam is trusted. The 3 central defenders are Xuan Manh, Duy Manh and Tien Dung. The 2 full-back positions will be taken by Van Do and Cao Pendant Quang Vinh. Tien Anh, the right-back who has played regularly in recent matches, will be rested.

In the midfield, Hoang Duc and Thanh Long continue to be trusted. This is the central midfielder pair that started both previous matches against Nepal. In the attack, the "trident" will be Quang Hai, Tien Linh and Van Vi. In which, Quang Hai is free to operate, ready to swap positions with Hoang Duc to create chaos. In the first leg, Vietnam won 5-0, including 2 goals from Van Vi, Quang Hai, Hai Long and Chau Ngoc Quang.

How can the Vietnam team be swapped?

Coach Kim Sang-sik uses many versatile players who can play in many different positions. Therefore, the possibility of Quang Vinh playing left-sided center-back, returning Xuan Manh to his usual right-sided position, is also possible. At that time, Van Vi will retreat to play left-sided full-back, while Van Do will be pushed up to play winger.

This match will take place at 7 p.m. at the Laos National Stadium. The Vietnamese team's goal is certainly to win all 3 points. It should be recalled that in the first leg, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team defeated this opponent 5-0 thanks to goals from Ngoc Quang, Van Vi (2 goals), Hai Long and Quang Hai.
