Vietnam will enter the semi-finals of the ASEAN Cup 2024 as a championship candidate. Before the important match, coach Kim Sang-sik will prioritize using the strongest lineup.
Accordingly, in the goal, goalkeeper Nguyen Dinh Trieu will likely continue to be given the opportunity. In fact, Mr. Kim Sang-sik has a habit of changing goalkeepers and Dinh Trieu himself had a good performance in the recent match against Myanmar.
The Vietnamese team's defensive framework may see some adjustments. Nguyen Van Vi and Vu Van Thanh are the pair of full-backs. Meanwhile, Bui Tien Dung plays left-sided center-back, Do Duy Manh plays right-sided center-back and Nguyen Thanh Chung is the center of defense.
In addition, to ensure the stability of the midfield, it is possible that midfielder Doan Ngoc Tan will play alongside Nguyen Hoang Duc.
On the offensive line, Xuan Son will help the Vietnamese team attack more easily with his unique ball handling. The striker born in 1997 is very strong, fast and has good technical qualities. He will play the main role.
If Hai Long returns from injury, he will play as an attacking midfielder with Quang Hai behind Nguyen Xuan Son.
The match between Vietnam and Singapore takes place at 8:00 p.m. today (December 26).
Expected lineup of Vietnam team: Dinh Trieu, Tien Dung, Duy Manh, Thanh Chung, Van Vi, Van Thanh, Ngoc Tan, Hoang Duc, Quang Hai, Hai Long, Xuan Son.
