Expected lineup of Vietnam team against Thailand: Nguyen Filip on the bench?

MINH PHONG |

Vietnam team is unlikely to have many changes in the lineup in the second leg of the ASEAN Cup final against Thailand.

At 8:00 p.m. tonight (January 5), the Vietnamese team will play Thailand away in the second leg of the 2024 ASEAN Cup final. With just a draw or a win with any score, the "Golden Star Warriors" will lift the Southeast Asian championship trophy for the third time in history.

Coach Kim Sang-sik understands that the Vietnamese team needs to build a solid defense and not give the opponent a chance to score, before attacking and putting pressure back.

Goalkeeper Nguyen Dinh Trieu continues to be the number 1 choice of the coaching staff. In recent matches, especially the first leg of the final, the goalkeeper born in 1992 ensured good form and had some excellent reflexes to save the home team.

Above Dinh Trieu is the trio of central defenders: Bui Tien Dung in the left position, Nguyen Thanh Chung playing in the center of the defense and Do Duy Manh playing on the right. At this time, Mr. Kim needs experienced and passionate players to neutralize the opponent's dangerous attacks.

The two wings of the Vietnamese team could be defenders Pham Xuan Manh and Vu Van Thanh, as this duo both play well on both the left and right wings. If they play, Mr. Kim might arrange for Xuan Manh to play on the right wing and Van Thanh on the opposite wing.

In the midfield, Doan Ngoc Tan and Nguyen Hoang Duc can be selected to play as central midfielders. Ngoc Tan is excellent in tackling situations and is not afraid to compete, while Hoang Duc holds the ball rhythmically, distributes and distributes appropriately to his teammates.

Midfielder Chau Ngoc Quang is likely to be assigned to play as an attacking midfielder and the striker pair will be Dinh Thanh Binh and Nguyen Xuan Son. The brilliant performance of the naturalized striker also opens up many hopes for the Vietnamese team in the upcoming match.

Expected lineup: Nguyen Dinh Trieu, Pham Xuan Manh, Nguyen Thanh Chung, Bui Tien Dung, Vu Van Thanh, Do Duy Manh, Doan Ngoc Tan, Nguyen Hoang Duc, Dinh Thanh Binh, Chau Ngoc Quang, Nguyen Xuan Son.
