On the afternoon of June 9, the Vietnamese team had a practice session at Bukit Jalil main stadium, before the decisive match with Malaysia, at 8:00 p.m. on June 10. Up to this point, the preparation work of the Vietnam team has been completed. As a guest on Malaysia's field, the Vietnamese team is likely to choose to play defensive counter-attack. That is the reason why coach Kim Sang Sik paid special attention to the team's defense in the last training session. Coach Kim currently has many quality defenders, including rookie Cao Quang Vinh. Vietnam team emphasizes safety when playing Malaysia in the first leg. However, coach Kim Sang Sik still prepared many options for the attack line to be ready to score against the opponent.

Even if given the chance, coach Kim Sang Sik's team can do more.
