How coach Kim Sang Sik 'unlocked' the attack

U22 Vietnam currently possesses a "dream" attack for the SEA Games 33 gold medal campaign, but we have to wait and see how coach Kim Sang Sik will take advantage of it.

Extremely strong attack

Never before has U22 Vietnam, preparing for a SEA Games, possessed such a quality and experienced attacking line as it does now. Coach Kim Sang Sik has names that have proven their abilities in both the V-League and the national team levels, such as Dinh Bac, Van Khang, Thanh Nhan, Ngoc My, and Quoc Viet...

Most of the above players have played for the Vietnam national team, the U23 team, or other youth teams and are accumulating a lot of international competition experience and fighting spirit.

U22 Vietnam has a very strong attack.

The force is already very strong, and will be even more attentive when welcoming the return of Dinh Xuan Tien, one of the attacking players with high performance in V-League.

With that force, it is clear that U22 Vietnam cannot avoid the gold target at SEA Games 33. Because in terms of correlation, no team has a balanced and multi-choice attack like Vietnam. The problem now is no longer personnel, but how to operate and exploit that strength to the fullest.

Waiting for Mr. Kim to 'unlock'

What makes fans wonder is that U22 Vietnam used to have a similar attack in recent tournaments such as U23 Southeast Asia or U23 Asia qualifiers, but the results were not commensurate.

U23 Vietnam (actually U22) created many opportunities and controlled the game well, but lacked sharpness in finishing, causing many matches to fall into a stalemate.

Wait and see how coach Kim Sang Sik will take advantage of this in the upcoming SEA Games 33.

Coach Kim Sang Sik always emphasizes organization and tactical discipline, but what U22 Vietnam lacks is the ability to change - a necessary factor to break through the tight defense of opponents in the region.

Therefore, the Korean captain needs to find a formula to "unlock" the attack and help his students play more confidently, spontaneously, and accurately, instead of being frequently stuck as seen.

Coach Kim Sang-sik has more time to prepare, and most importantly, he has an extremely high-quality international friendly tournament in China in November to do the final "test". This is the best opportunity for the Korean captain to find the optimal attacking formula, to help his students play well at the 33rd SEA Games as well as towards the AFC U23 Championship in early 2026.
