Tonight (March 19), the Vietnam team will have an international friendly match with the Cambodia team at 7:30 p.m. at Binh Duong Stadium.
Although this opponent brought many naturalized players, overall, the Cambodian team is not strong enough to create a big challenge for coach Kim Sang-sik and his team.
However, the Korean coach still did not allow his students to be subjective. To ensure a favorable result, the Vietnam team will take the field with the strongest possible squad.
In goal, Nguyen Dinh Trieu has recovered from his injury and can play if coach Kim Sang-sik chooses him.
In terms of defense, the Vietnamese team still believes in the three central defenders Bui Tien Dung, Nguyen Thanh Chung and Do Duy Manh.
With an active attacking style of play, full-backs will play an important role in supporting the midfield and attack.
Vu Van Thanh will take charge of the right wing, while on the left wing, there is a possibility of an important change.
Zhao Viet Hung, a regular central midfielder of Hai Phong club, will take on the role of left-back.
Although not a defensive expert, with the ability to deploy the ball and support the attack well, Trieu Viet Hung will be a notable factor in the team's tactical diagram.
In the midfield, Doan Ngoc Tan and Nguyen Hoang Duc will continue to be the main choices. Ngoc Tan will play a solid defensive role, while Hoang Duc will be an important bridge between the midfield and the attack.
The situation of the Vietnamese team's attack will have a big change without Nguyen Xuan Son. In this match, the strikers will have to find an alternative solution.
Bui Vi Hao will play on the left wing, Pham Tuan Hai will take on the position of target striker of Nguyen Xuan Son, while Dinh Thanh Binh will play on the right wing, replacing Xuan Son.
Expected lineup of the Vietnam team: Nguyen Dinh Trieu, Bui Tien Dung, Nguyen Thanh Chung, Do Duy Manh, Vu Van Thanh, Trieu Viet Hung, Nguyen Hoang Duc, Doan Ngoc Tan, Bui Vi Hao, Pham Tuan Hai, Dinh Thanh Binh.
