Duy Manh is the reserve, Quang Hai is the captain, Van Vi is the starter.

Compared to the match against Laos, coach Kim Sang-sik has changed some positions in the starting lineup of the Vietnamese team in the match against Indonesia, taking place at 8:00 p.m. today (December 15).

In goal, goalkeeper Nguyen Filip returns to replace Nguyen Dinh Trieu. Filip is still the number one goalkeeper of the Vietnamese national team, with 8 years of experience as the main goalkeeper in the Czech Republic. He is highly appreciated for his comprehensive football skills, bravery and ability to read situations well.

In defense, the three central defenders are Nguyen Thanh Chung, Pham Xuan Manh and Bui Tien Dung. Captain Do Duy Manh sits on the bench. The captain is vice-captain Nguyen Quang Hai.

Before the Vietnam - Indonesia match, what should coach Kim Sang-sik be wary of?

In midfield, Nguyen Hoang Duc and Doan Ngoc Tan guard the middle line, while the two wings belong to Nguyen Van Vi and Ho Tan Tai. In attack, Nguyen Tien Linh, Nguyen Quang Hai and Nguyen Hai Long are chosen. The 3-4-3 formation is the tactical plan of the Vietnamese team in this match.

Hoang Duc continues to play as a starter.

The Vietnamese team has lost to Indonesia in the last 3 matches, respectively at the 2023 Asian Cup (0-1) and the 2026 World Cup qualifiers (0-1, 0-3). However, at the AFF Cup, Vietnam has been unbeaten against Indonesia for the past 6 years (won 1, drew 3). Coach Shin Tae-yong has never defeated the Vietnamese team in the Southeast Asian playground.

Coach Kim Sang-sik confidently affirmed before the match: "I see that Indonesia has many young players, so they should unite in the midfield. However, the Vietnamese team is preparing well and hopes to play well. Indonesia is quite tired and not physically strong. We will take advantage to put pressure on Indonesia and win.

Many people think that the Vietnamese team will win big. I do not deny this thought or opinion, but to be honest, I do not care if the score is 1, 2 or 3 goals. I know how difficult it is to score goals in the AFF Cup 2024. Although Indonesia is tired after a long journey, the participating teams are all very strong. Indonesia has many young players with a desire to prove themselves. We just prepare the best to aim for victory."

Coach Kim Sang-sik is cautious.

On the other hand, Mr. Shin Tae-yong said that with a young force and constant travel time, Indonesia is at a great disadvantage.

"The Indonesian players participating in the AFF Cup 2024 are mainly under 20 years old, so they lack international experience. However, this year's tournament is a good experience for the players to adapt, learn and prepare a foundation for the future.

Meanwhile, the Vietnamese team has the strongest squad, with the best players in football. They have experience playing in international tournaments. As for Indonesia, we bring many young players at the age of U.17, U.20 and U.23. Our goal is to reach the U.23 Asian playground, so I hope the young players can accumulate experience," coach Shin Tae-yong emphasized.
