Compared to the ASEAN Cup 2024, the Vietnamese team is missing many key players due to injuries, including Nguyen Xuan Son, Van Toan, Vi Hao, Van Thanh, Ho Tan Tai, Thanh Binh, Viet Anh, Doan Ngoc Tan...
Not only that, even the player who was called back to the Vietnam team by coach Kim Sang Sik after nearly 2 years of absence, Cong Phuong, had to say goodbye due to a sore foot, while some key players, although still called up for this training session, were not in the best physical condition.
On June 4, the Vietnamese team had an internal practice match. Through this practice session, coach Kim Sang Sik made the most accurate assessment of the form and adaptability of the new faces, before finalizing the Vietnamese team's lineup for the match against Malaysia.
Experts predict that the Korean strategist will put his trust in players with a lot of experience and a good understanding of the team's philosophy and playing style. In the away match against Malaysia, a draw is also satisfactory for the Vietnamese team, but this is also not an easy task to complete.
In the goalkeeper position, although Nguyen Filip is in very good form, Dinh Trieu can still be the number 1 choice of coach Kim Sang Sik. The goalkeeper of Hai Phong Club has a good connection with the defense. This is very important in a match where the Vietnamese team can be under great pressure.
With the trio of central defenders, Duy Manh, Thanh Chung and Bui Tien Dung are almost certain to start. All three are players in good form and have a lot of experience, and have more than enough courage to deal with the Malaysian naturalized stars.
On both wings, although naturalized player Cao Quang Vinh is very good, coach Kim Sang has no reason to ignore Van Vi. The full-back from Nam Dinh Steel is even one of the scoring options for the Vietnamese team under coach Kim. In the V-League, he has 3 goals and 4 assists after 23 appearances this season.
On the right wing, Tien Anh or Xuan Manh are both suitable choices as both possess good physical strength, are not afraid of collisions, and have the ability to attack and defend rhythmically.
The midfield of the Vietnamese team is where coach Kim Sang Sik can feel most secure when there are still excellent faces such as Hoang Duc, Quang Hai, Hai Long. Only the position of Doan Ngoc Tan is left, Mr. Kim can use Minh Khoa or Duc Chien to replace. Of these two players, Minh Khoa performed very well in the 5-0 victory over Laos in March.
Playing away at Malaysia with the pressure of 80,000 spectators, the Vietnamese team is unlikely to focus on their strikers. At the moment, when Tien Linh has lost his form, Thanh Binh and Quoc Viet will find it difficult to make a difference, only Tuan Hai is the striker who can make a difference.
