Malaysia wants to rewrite history
The Malaysian team 's preparation shows that the "Tigers" are very eager to defeat the Vietnamese team - a team they have only drawn and lost to over the past 11 years.
Before the crucial match in Group F, the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup, Malaysia coach Peter Cklamovski emphasized: "Instead of being afraid, we see it as a challenge. I want the players to grasp it and create history. This is the opportunity for the Malaysian team."
In addition to the home field advantage, coach Peter Cklamovski showed confidence because he has many quality naturalized players. Experts predict that Malaysia can use 8-9 players playing abroad at the same time in the match against Vietnam. This is clearly a big challenge for the "Golden Star Warriors".
Under the guidance of coach Peter Cklamovski, the Malaysian team has clearly changed its playing style. The addition of Facundo Garces, Jefte Betancor and Jon Irazabal has helped the home team's defense become more solid. Meanwhile, Colombian striker Rodrigo Holgado brings a lot of expectations in terms of scoring goals.
The Malaysian team did everything to break the curse against the Vietnamese team, winning to have a chance to continue. But in reality, this goal is not easy to achieve, because their opponent is the 2024 ASEAN Cup champion.
Confidence in victory
The Vietnamese team traveled to Malaysia with a lot of doubts and worries. Compared to the ASEAN Cup 2024, coach Kim Sang Sik lost a series of key players due to injuries, including Viet Anh, Thanh Binh, Tan Tai, Van Thanh, Doan Ngoc Tan, Van Toan, Vi Hao, Xuan Son... Not to mention striker Cong Phuong, who was forced to return to his club after a few days of training due to a sore foot.
In addition, the Vietnamese team will certainly be under great pressure when competing at the "fire pit" Bukit Jalil with a capacity of more than 80,000 fans, and there is not much information about the Malaysian naturalized players...
But despite facing countless difficulties, Coach Kim Sang Sik still confidently declared: "We came to Malaysia to win all 3 points! ". That statement, clearly, was not a joke, but was completely well-founded.
Coach Kim Sang Sik always believes in the experience and bravery of his students - who have overcome much greater pressure in the second leg final against Thailand at the 2024 ASEAN Cup.
In terms of playing style, the Vietnamese team certainly created a solid defense, but was also ready to quickly switch state for counterattacks, making Malaysia pay the price if they were caught off guard.
The Vietnamese team currently does not have any strikers in good form and expectations, but under coach Kim Sang Sik, many players in different positions can score goals, surprising opponents.
In terms of personnel, the Vietnamese team can play with its strongest lineup at the moment. In the goalkeeper position, Dinh Trieu's experience and ability to connect the defense is what coach Kim Sang Sik is in dire need of. Up front, the three central defenders are Duy Manh, Thanh Chung and Bui Tien Dung, and the two wings are Xuan Manh and Van Vi.
With the goal of taking 3 points, coach Kim Sang Sik can use the midfield including Hoang Duc, Quang Hai, Hai Long and Duc Chien, while the striker is Tien Linh or Tuan Hai.
Vietnam still have the second leg at home, but coach Kim Sang Sik wants everything to be resolved soon on the away field. With respect to Malaysia, the "Golden Star Warriors" are also confident that they can celebrate victory at Bukit Jalil.
Expected lineup of Vietnam team : Dinh Trieu, Duy Manh, Thanh Chung, Bui Tien Dung, Xuan Manh, Van Vi, Duc Chien, Hoang Duc, Hai Long, Quang Hai, Tien Linh
Prediction : Vietnam team wins 1-0
