Vietnam national team match schedule today: Taste Mr. Polking's 'cocktail'

At 5:00 p.m. today, September 7, the Vietnamese team will close the September FIFA Days with a match against the Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center (Hanoi).

The Vietnamese team felt an unexpected "special flavor" after the heavy 0-4 loss to Nam Dinh Club on September 4, precisely the team of all foreign players of the reigning V-League champions. In the first half, the team consisting of key players such as Duy Manh, Hoang Duc, Thanh Chung, Tien Linh, Tien Anh, Tuan Hai... played evenly. The familiar 3-4-3 formation operated tightly, with few errors for most of the first 45 minutes, before losing 0-1 from a set piece at the end of the first half. In the second half, the Vietnamese team changed almost the entire lineup, with a defense consisting of 3 new central defenders Van Toi, Quang Kiet (only 18 years old), Hoang Phuc and a brand new attack line that conceded 3 more goals. It should also be added that the "blue team" players were determined to play well to score points with the Nam Dinh Club coaching staff. In particular, the group of foreign players "hidden" exclusively for the AFC Champions League and the Southeast Asian Club Championship played very passionately after 3 rounds sitting in the stands watching their colleagues compete in the V-League.

The Vietnamese team faced many difficulties when facing foreign players from Nam Dinh Club.

In the match against CAHN Club this afternoon, coach Dinh Hong Vinh and his team will no longer face a very heavy physical challenge, when all positions have to face foreign players. Instead, the Vietnamese team will have the experience of an interesting cocktail of domestic and foreign players from coach Mano Polking. CAHN Club will not have the best domestic players such as Quang Hai, Van Do, Viet Anh (injured) or Quang Vinh (wearing the Vietnamese team shirt), but there will still be Thanh Long, Dinh Trong, Nguyen Filip, Van Duc... In particular, CAHN Club will bring the most worth-watching attacking style of play in the V-League under the brand of coach Polking, thanks to a squad of extremely technical foreign players such as Leo Artur, Alan, Gomes, Mauk, Hugo... It should also be added that in friendly matches with domestic clubs, the Vietnamese team often has to balance between testing and keeping the pillars. Because the young players of the club are eager to be called up to the national team, they will play extremely passionately to prove themselves, sometimes leading to excessive disputes. Meanwhile, the experienced players who are not in this training session such as Nguyen Filip, Thanh Long, Van Duc... really want to show their level of football when facing the Vietnamese team. This friendly match will therefore be very interesting.

It is expected that coach Dinh Hong Vinh will make many changes in the starting lineup. Instead of launching two very different lineups, the Vietnamese team will have a mix of experienced players with names that have rarely or never been called up before. Among them, there will be versatile players tested in many positions such as Tuan Tai (left center back, left back), Viet Hung (center midfielder, left back), Du Hoc (right back, right midfielder) ... Mr. Vinh will also take this opportunity to continue to test the effectiveness of the Hoang Duc and Duc Chien plan, along with another candidate, Hoang Anh, in the middle of the field.
