Vietnam Team: New links need to be trained by Mr. Kim Sang Sik

As planned, right after the end of round 24 of the V-League, the Vietnamese team will gather again to prepare for the key match in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers against Malaysia on June 10.

There will be new factors

With what we are seeing, coach Kim Sang-sik's team is unlikely to have the strongest squad for the away trip that is expected to be not very easy at Bukit Jalil.

Lam Ti Phong is one of the names in the "sights" of coach Kim Sang-sik.

The reason is that in addition to the injuries of Vi Hao, Xuan Son, Tan Tai... many key players such as Quang Hai, for example, find it difficult to ensure the best physical condition because they have just gone through a period of competition with a dense schedule.

Not to mention, the further the V-League goes towards the end, the higher the risk for players because the nature of most of the matches in this period is quite fierce.

In that situation, some faces are emerging as potential candidates that are highly appreciated by experts for coach Kim Sang Sik to add to the Vietnam team such as Lam Ti Phong (Nam Dinh), Huu Thang (The Cong Viettel ), Mach Ngoc Ha (CAHN) or Ho Van Cuong (SLNA), Viktor Le...

If you can use it, you have to wait…

However, in the upcoming gathering, coach Kim Sang Sik will probably still prioritize the veteran group to ensure stability, because the preparation time for the match is quite urgent, similar to the gathering in March.

Therefore, the call-up of new players is mainly a long-term strategy - serving the roadmap for building the Vietnamese team in the future instead of expecting the above names to play in the match against Malaysia in June.

Coach Kim Sang-sik needs to calculate carefully before making a decision on personnel.

It is worth noting that Mr. Kim Sang Sik is open in his philosophy of using people when he is not bound by reputation, ready to create conditions for those who are in good form, have high fighting spirit and are suitable for tactical requirements.

Restructuring the squad in the upcoming training session is not easy for the Vietnamese team, especially when it has to be done in a short time and under pressure to achieve results.

However, if coach Kim Sang Sik boldly creates opportunities for new players, the Vietnamese team can completely enter a new journey with a more vibrant appearance.
