Vietnam team needs to warm up the love of fans

Korean teams are very strong in terms of physique, physical strength, modern playing style, and tactical compliance, and will be suitable troops to help coach Kim Sang-sik train tactical pieces for the Vietnamese team.

Leading the Vietnamese team since the beginning of May 2024, it has been more than 6 months of getting acquainted with Vietnamese football and getting acquainted with the players, but it can be said that coach Kim Sang-sik has not been able to do what his compatriot Park Hang-seo once started with Vietnamese football.

Coach Kim Sang-sik (middle) needs to help the Vietnamese team play effectively.

The team under coach Kim Sang-sik has not created much attraction for fans. Not only because of the results, but also because of the disjointed style of play in both attack and defense, making Vietnamese football fans less interested. The empty spaces at Thien Truong Stadium in the match between Vietnam and India on October 12th said it all. Obviously, at the present time, fans have much less interest in the team than before.

Therefore, what coach Kim Sang-sik needs to do is to bring fans back to the stands. To do this, the team must first demonstrate an effective and attractive style of play, attracting viewers. Currently, the team's attacking style is quite monotonous even though they still have Nguyen Tien Linh, Bui Vi Hao, Dinh Thanh Binh, Pham Tuan Hai, Nguyen Quoc Viet. In 3 out of the last 4 matches, Mr. Kim's students could only score a maximum of 1 goal/match, which shows that the attack lacks sharpness.

Coach Kim Sang-sik boldly left out Cong Phuong, even though the player who returned from Japan is playing very well and scoring regularly in the national first division. By not choosing Cong Phuong for the AFF Cup journey, hopefully, Coach Kim Sang-sik will make the right decision with the strikers he currently has at his disposal.

Not only in attack, but the Vietnamese team under coach Kim Sang-sik also lacks creativity in the midfield area. Nguyen Hoang Duc's form has declined, Quang Hai no longer has improvisational plays and there is a lack of a player with good blocking ability like Do Hung Dung before, causing the Vietnamese midfield to often be surrounded and confused in deploying quick attacks.

Therefore, the training trip to Korea is considered very important for coach Kim Sang-sik to solve his difficult problems. In the immediate future, the Korean coach needs to find the optimal squad, with enough strength and courage for the AFF Cup arena, where Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines... are getting much stronger.

When having an optimal lineup, the Vietnamese team will have effective gameplay with beautiful attacks and beautiful goals. Only then can the love of football of the fans be rekindled. Because the love of the fans is the catalyst to create a strong football.
