Vietnam vs Cambodia: Exciting atmosphere before the match

Coach Kim Sang-sik sent veteran Trieu Viet Hung and the key squad that just won the 2024 ASEAN Cup to play against Cambodia in a friendly match on the evening of March 19.

The list of Vietnam's team playing against Cambodia at 7:15 p.m. on March 19 at Binh Duong Stadium includes Nguyen Dinh Trieu as goalkeeper, central defenders Do Duy Manh (captain), Nguyen Thanh Chung and Bui Tien Dung. On the two wings are Vu Van Thanh and Trieu Viet Hung. Previously, Viet Hung played for the Vietnam team at FIFA Days in 2023 under Philippe Trousier.

In midfield, Doan Ngoc Tan plays with Nguyen Hoang Duc. In the forward line, Pham Tuan Hai plays as the striker, supported by Nguyen Hai Long and Nguyen Quang Hai.

Except for Viet Hung, the 10 names on the field against Cambodia are the main frame of the Vietnamese team in the journey to win the 2024 Southeast Asian championship. Coach Kim focuses on safety when entering the game, and will likely send a group of new players onto the field in the second half for testing, if the first half results are positive.

The Cambodian team took the field with a series of foreign names such as Takaki Ose, Kan Mo, Yudai Ogawa, Nicolas (Nick) Taylor and Andres Nieto.

After many recent defeats without a goal, Cambodia is determined to make a difference against Vietnam, even though it is just a friendly, in this confrontation.

Speaking at a press conference before the match, coach Kim Sang-sik highly appreciated his opponent: "I know Cambodia has many naturalized players, including a very talented African player (Abdel Kader Coulibaly - PV), who has an impressive scoring record in the national championship. However, we have quality defenders like Duy Manh and Thanh Chung. I believe the defenders of the Vietnamese team can neutralize the opponent."
