Suspected "spying" on U.23 Vietnam training session

At 4 p.m. local time on July 28, the U.23 Vietnam team had a closed training session, which was also the last training session before coach Kim Sang-sik and his team played the final match of the 2025 Southeast Asian U.23 tournament against the host team U.23 Indonesia.

The training location of the U.23 Vietnam team was the ABC stadium, near the Gelora Bung Karno complex. However, this important training session was interrupted when a member of the U.23 Vietnam coaching staff suddenly discovered a strange man sitting on a nearby roof.

Through investigation, this strange man is a member of the Organizing Committee, but it is unclear why he appeared in a sensitive position to be able to oversee the training session of the U.23 Vietnam team.

After that, the coaching staff of the U.23 Vietnam team invited him to the ground and went outside so that the team could continue their important training session. It should also be added that the ABC field was very empty and not fenced off like the Madya field where the host team, the U.23 Indonesia, trained.

Ready to beat Indonesia again

Except for the short-lived incident mentioned above, the training session of the U.23 Vietnam team took place in a comfortable, happy atmosphere where the players all showed a very good mental state, making coach Kim Sang-sik quite satisfied.

Even when there was suspicion of "spying", the team still acted normal. Simply with the shabby fence of the ABC stadium, it was too easy for opponents to peek, so the U.23 Vietnam coaching staff had also prepared plans.

During most of the training session after the warm-up, Mr. Kim let the players participate in ball games. You could hear the laughter everywhere, coming from experienced players Dinh Bac, Van Khang… as well as new players like Cong Phuong, Ngoc My…
