Many new recruits

Although it was not until the end of round 23 of LPBank V-League that coach Kim Sang Sik announced the list of Vietnam team preparing for the match against Malaysia in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.

However, according to many sources and assessments from experts, it is very likely that the captain of the Vietnamese team will summon the largest number of new players compared to before, after what this new force has shown in the past time. We can mention a few names such as Viktor Le ( Ha Tinh ), Ly Cong Hoang Anh (Nam Dinh)..., they are all brand new names under coach Kim Sang Sik.

Coach Kim Sang Sik is likely to call up many new players for the Vietnam team in the next training session.

In addition to the new recruits called up for the first time under coach Kim Sang Sik, the Korean coach also called back a series of players who had previously played for the Vietnamese national team. The case of Cong Phuong is a very reasonable solution, making up for the gaps in the attack. Or goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung is playing very well, despite SHB .Da Nang struggling to find a way to escape the bottom of the V-League.

The list of Vietnamese players has been expanded from the V-League down to the First Division, not limited by age or experience, just like the usual selection of coach Kim Sang Sik.

Mr. Kim Sang Sik's Gamble

Compared to previous calculations, the plan to call many new captains of the Vietnamese team in the upcoming training session has its reasons, mainly because many veterans are injured or have lost their form.

Despite the plan, coach Kim Sang Sik still seems to be calculating quite a bit between using or not using the new players and veterans who have been called back to the Vietnam team for the match against Malaysia.

This is understandable when the pillars are out of form and overloaded.

The reason for this question is because the Vietnamese team needs to win at Bukit Jalil Stadium against Malaysia, so they have to be careful when using new players who do not have much time to absorb the playing philosophy and integrate with their teammates.

Typically, in the most recent training session against easy opponents like Laos in the Asian Cup qualifiers or Cambodia (friendly match), Mr. Kim Sang Sik only used Minh Khoa among the new, young faces called up for training.

However, at this time, many veterans are not in good form, forcing the captain of the Vietnamese team to hesitate between deciding to use new players or keep them for the future.

Because of what has been said, at the same time Malaysia is unpredictable, so every decision about personnel at this time is really a challenging gamble for coach Kim Sang Sik.
