The two virtual transformations of the Vietnam team

MINH PHONG |

The Vietnam team will have more personnel options in the two border corridors during the training session in March 2025.

In the first training sessions of the Vietnam team in Binh Duong, coach Kim Sang-sik clearly divided the training group.

On the right wing, Truong Tien Anh, Vu Van Thanh and Tran Bao Toan were tested. The left-back group includes Khuat Van Khang, Trieu Viet Hung and Nguyen Van Vi. Each of these players has their own strengths and weaknesses.

Looking at the above list, it is difficult to predict what coach Kim Sang-sik is planning.

First, with the nature of a friendly match and an official match against not-so- Strong opponents like Cambodia and Laos, the Vietnamese team does not need so many full-backs. Clearly, the Korean strategist is looking to experiment with a new option.

In such a situation, it will be difficult for any player to "guess". Remember that 5/6 of the above names are quite versatile and ready to compete in many different positions.

Tran Bao Toan plays well on both flank, he is even a striker. Vu Van Thanh and Truong Tien Anh also played well in both halls and were familiar with coach Kim Sang-sik's tactical system.

In particular, Trieu Viet Hung is a central midfielder with a unique tactical vision. This helps the player born in 1997 become an important " core" in the playing style of Hai Phong club. Suggestions from coach Chu Dinh Nghiem can provide new ideas for Mr. Kim Sang-sik.

The Vietnamese team is now without Xuan Son and building a better ball development system, providing more opportunities becomes even more urgent. Based on this factor, Trieu Viet Hung, despite not playing for the national team for a long time, suddenly became a bright name... in price.

To be more precise, coach Kim Sang-sik will have many ways to arrange personnel, depending on the tactics applied to each match. The match against the Cambodian team will be an important rehearsal, helping the captain of the Vietnamese team make the best personnel choice at this time.
