Afraid of what?
The Vietnamese team is the current AFF Cup champion. We are the first team in Southeast Asia to win the title by defeating Thailand in both the home and away finals. The current squad of Vietnamese players is not only good at fighting, but also has a high legacy. The quality of the players that Vietnamese football has will help us maintain our strength for many more years, if the Vietnamese team continues to maintain a reasonable playing style.

With that squad, if coach Kim Sang-sik's team is supplemented with quality overseas Vietnamese players, we will be even stronger. Thailand's Siam Sport newspaper wrote: "Overseas Vietnamese players who are eager to wear the Vietnamese national team and the Vietnam U.22 team are those who were trained in Europe, so they have a significant understanding of modern football styles. If these players join the Vietnamese national teams, they will significantly add quality to coach Kim Sang-sik's teams."

Imagine if goalkeeper Patrik Le Giang or left-back Jason Quang Vinh were successfully naturalized and played for the Vietnamese national team in the near future, how dangerous coach Kim Sang-sik's team would be. Patrik Le Giang is a goalkeeper trained in Slovakia, with a very modern style of catching the ball. In terms of form, he is the goalkeeper with the best form in the V-League at the moment.
Jason Quang Vinh was trained in France, he has a very fast dribbling style on the wing, the style of a player who grew up in France in particular and a player who grew up in Europe in general. Moreover, the presence of Jason Quang Vinh will probably help the left wing of the Vietnamese team become stronger. The left wing is one of the weakest positions of the Vietnamese team at the AFF Cup 2024.
Vietnamese football is different from other teams in Southeast Asia.
Overseas Vietnamese players will also supplement the weakest point of Vietnamese football in the past few years, which is the weakness in physique, ability to compete in one-on-one and in the air. Compared to Thai, Filipino and Indonesian players today, Vietnamese players are at a disadvantage in terms of physique, causing us to often lose to them in high-altitude football. Some overseas Vietnamese players will help the Vietnamese team solve this problem well.
The Vietnamese team will always maintain its own identity.

The physique of overseas Vietnamese players, combined with the technical quality of domestically trained players such as Quang Hai, Hoang Duc, Hai Long, Tien Linh, etc., will help the Vietnamese team's playing style become more diverse. Then, we can play both technical and fast football, and not be afraid of aerial situations.
Also different from many football teams in Southeast Asia, when they use many naturalized players, teams like Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines often "forget" all their purely domestic players, causing the identity of these teams to be lost.
On the contrary, Vietnamese football is very stable in youth training, domestic players are still the core in building the national team. Now, if that team is supplemented with overseas Vietnamese players, in the positions where we need them the most, the Vietnamese teams will not only become stronger, but also better promote their own identity. At that time, the Vietnamese team will be even harder to defeat.
