Vietnam vs Thailand lineup: Quang Hai not selected, Nguyen Filip still on the bench

In the first leg of the AFF Cup 2024 final against Thailand, Nguyen Dinh Trieu started. Coach Kim Sang-sik once again put his trust in the goalkeeper of Hai Phong Club.

In front of Dinh Trieu is the trio of central defenders Xuan Manh - Thanh Chung - Duy Manh. In the final match, Xuan Manh will play as a right-sided central defender. Thanh Chung, with his stable performance, will play in the center of the defense and be assigned to mark Patrik Gustavsson. On the left wing, Bui Tien Dung will be responsible for covering the full-back.

Nguyen Filip sat on the bench.

In a match against a strong opponent like Thailand, balance in midfield is very important. Midfielder Doan Ngoc Tan will start alongside Hoang Duc. Ngoc Tan is good at one-on-one combat, has a strong physical source and is ready to fight. Up front, Chau Ngoc Quang and Bui Vi Hao are in the starting lineup with flexible movement and good connection. Nguyen Xuan Son plays the main role.

The "Golden Star Warriors" lost Nguyen Van Toan and Ho Tan Tai. These two players respectively said goodbye to the AFF Cup 2024 due to serious injuries. Tran Trung Kien could not compete with his two seniors Nguyen Filip and Nguyen Dinh Trieu. These are the 3 players who were not registered to play in the first leg of the semi-final.

Vietnam will play the first leg at home against Thailand and the second leg away. The Southeast Asian Football Confederation has abolished the home and away goals rule. Therefore, Vietnam will aim for a win to create a big advantage before moving to Thailand.

Vietnam national team lineup: Nguyen Dinh Trieu, Vu Van Thanh, Pham Xuan Manh, Nguyen Thanh Chung, Bui Tien Dung, Nguyen Van Vi, Nguyen Hoang Duc, Doan Ngoc Tan, Chau Ngoc Quang, Bui Vi Hao, Nguyen Xuan Son.
