Coach Kim Sang-sik and his team are currently in Korea for training to prepare for the high goal of the 2024 AFF Cup. The training trip is more quality when the Vietnamese team is given the opportunity to play 3 friendly matches with Korean clubs, thereby helping the whole team perfect their tactics as well as maintain good condition before returning to conquer the AFF Cup.
Vietnam team actively trains in Korea
According to the friendly match schedule, Nguyen Tien Linh and his teammates will face Ulsan Citizen, Deagu FC, and Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC. The opponent of the Vietnamese team in the first friendly match taking place at 8:30 a.m. (Vietnam time, 10:30 a.m. Korean time) on November 27 is Ulsan Citizen, who are playing in the third division of Korea. The difficulty will gradually increase for the Vietnamese team when the Vietnamese team faces Deagu FC at 12:00 p.m. on November 29 (2:00 p.m. Korean time) and Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC at 12:00 p.m. on December 1 (2:00 p.m. Korean time). These are two clubs playing in the Korean championship K-League 1.

Daegu FC is a traditional Korean football team. They were runners-up in K-League 1 in 2016. Meanwhile, Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC is one of the famous clubs in Korea, owning many national players, having won the K-League 1 9 times, the most recent of which was in 2021. This team has also won the AFC Champions League 2 times and is currently participating in the AFC Champions League Two with 6 points after 3 matches, temporarily ranked second in Group H.
The audience's affection for the Vietnamese team during the training session in Korea on November 24.
Notably, Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors is also the team that coach Kim Sang-sik is attached to both as a player and as a head coach. That is also the reason why, despite having a rather tight schedule, this team is still willing to be the "blue team" to help the Vietnamese team practice before the end of the training session in Korea.
After arriving in Korea, the Vietnamese team maintained two training sessions per day. In the morning, the Vietnamese players "recharged" their physical strength, while in the afternoon, coach Kim Sang-sik practiced tactics, enhanced team cohesion, and attack and defense exercises.
