Difficult for me...

On the first day of the Vietnam team's gathering, major concerns about the team's strength soon arose, as many important players were injured or faced physical problems.

In defense, Thanh Binh and Bui Hoang Viet Anh officially cannot join coach Kim Sang Sik in the match against Malaysia on June 10 due to injury.

Coach Kim Sang Sik is full of worries as his squad is depleted by injuries.

Not only that, another central defender, Thanh Chung, could not play in the first training session due to a muscle strain. In that situation, the Korean strategist had to urgently call up Dang Van Toi, and at the same time, promote Ly Duc from the U22 team to practice with the Vietnamese team.

On the offensive front, Tien Linh's inability to play in the make-up match between Binh Duong and CAHN on the evening of May 30 is also making the Korean captain worried.

Not only that, Quang Hai and Quang Vinh are also being questioned about their physical strength after going through a busy match schedule. Their physical strength and recovery ability are still big questions before the difficult match with Malaysia in the Asian Cup qualifiers.

To the difficult...

The absence of Thanh Binh and Bui Hoang Viet Anh is clearly not an easy problem for coach Kim Sang Sik. The additions of Van Toi and Ly Duc can replace them in terms of expertise, but experience is very difficult.

If Tien Linh and Quang Hai cannot play due to physical condition, it will also give the Korean strategist a headache in finding a replacement.

It is worth mentioning that Malaysia is making visible progress.

While Vietnam has problems with its forces, Malaysia is showing an impressive performance with a squad strongly supplemented by quality naturalized players.

Vietnam's opponent just had a good friendly match and drew 1-1 with Cape Verde (ranked 72nd in the world ), although they did not use their strongest squad, enough to make fans of the "Golden Star Warriors" nervous.

With more than a week of gathering, it is hoped that coach Kim Sang Sik will make adjustments, strengthen the defense and find solutions to overcome difficulties in personnel to achieve the best results for the away match at Bukit Jalil on June 10.
