Vietnam Team: Coach Kim Sang Sik's fulcrum to defeat Malaysia

Vietnam team overcomes thousands of obstacles

Never before has the Vietnamese team entered a crucial match like against Malaysia in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers with such a "gray" face.

From Thanh Binh and Bui Hoang Viet Anh in the defense had to say goodbye on the day of the team meeting, it was Cong Phuong's turn to get injured after a few training sessions, not to mention the pillars Quang Hai and Cao Pedant Quang Vinh whose physical strength was worn down due to the tight match schedule... making the personnel problem of coach Kim Sang Sik even more difficult.

Besides, the time to prepare for this important match can be counted on the fingers. There is almost no room for experimentation, not much time for the captain of the Vietnamese team to adjust tactics.

Coach Kim Sang Sik is facing many difficulties.

Meanwhile, the Malaysian opponent not only has the home advantage of Bukit Jalil, but also has many naturalized players playing in Europe, South America... with quality and physique, making the upcoming match extremely unpredictable for the Vietnamese team.

What is the winning point for Mr. Kim Sang Sik?

One thing is certain, football is not just about adding up personnel or individual skills, so the opportunity to win all 3 points against Malaysia is still very open for coach Kim Sang Sik.

And the biggest support for coach Kim Sang Sik at this time lies in the solidarity, spirit and determination of the Vietnamese players whenever they fall into difficult situations.

However, coach Kim Sang Sik still has important weapons to dream of victory such as spirit, solidarity...

The second leg of the ASEAN Cup final in Thailand is a testament to this. The Vietnamese team faced a huge disadvantage when Xuan Son was injured in the first half, but with a steely spirit and unyielding will, Mr. Kim's students still played resiliently, overcoming all disadvantages to win the championship.

Besides, despite the loss of strength, the Vietnamese team is a collective that has played together for many years, understanding each other from the smallest moves to tactical reflexes on the field - something that no "lightning-fast naturalization" of Malaysia could have soon achieved, similar to Indonesia before.

The Vietnamese team, despite some gaps in its squad, still possesses "weapons" that not every team has: courage, pride, indomitable spirit and the desire to win for the country.

That will be a real support for Mr. Kim Sang Sik in the match considered the most difficult since the Korean strategist took over.
