Nepal - Vietnam Team (8:00 p.m. tonight): Trung Kien replaces Van Lam

(Dan Tri) - At 8:00 p.m. today, the Vietnamese team will play Nepal in the fourth match of Group F of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers. Goalkeeper Trung Kien will replace Van Lam as goalkeeper in the starting lineup.

Nepal coach: "If we play with full players, we will get points against Vietnam team"

Answering a question from Dan Tri reporter about whether Nepal would be able to score points against Vietnam if the two teams played with the same 11 players from start to finish tomorrow, coach Matthew Ross (Australian) said: "I believe that if we play with all our players, we can do it and score points in tomorrow's match."

“However, our problem at the moment is the fitness and recovery of the players. I have mentioned before that my players were not in the best condition before coming to Vietnam to participate in the two Asian Cup qualifiers. Right now, my priority is to help the young players recover before tomorrow's match,” added coach Matthew Ross.

Coach Kim Sang Sik: "I want to win big against Nepal and Tien Linh to score many goals"

Before the match, coach Kim Sang Sik of the Vietnamese team said: "In the match on October 9, we had a victory against Nepal. That is why, in this match, the Vietnamese team continues to want to win, even win big."

“To win big against Nepal, Tien Linh and our strikers must score many goals. We will not only pay attention to set pieces, but also pay attention to coordination in other situations,” added coach Kim Sang Sik.

One of the issues of concern in the Vietnamese national team today is the appearance of players in the 23-year-old age group. These are the people expected to create a new momentum for coach Kim Sang Sik's team.

Regarding the young faces in the 23-year-old group, Coach Kim Sang Sik made an important revelation: “In the previous match, some U23 players were on the field. They played energetically, enthusiastically, and contributed to the overall playing style of the whole team.”
