Tonight (October 12), the Vietnamese team will have a friendly match with the Indian team within the framework of FIFA Days October 2024.
Coach Kim Sang-sik selected a starting lineup that made significant changes from previous matches.
Standing in front of the Vietnamese team's goal is goalkeeper Nguyen Filip. He continues to be given the opportunity to play after quite stable performances. Meanwhile, Trung Kien and Van Viet need more time to improve.
Above Filip are the three central defenders Que Ngoc Hai (left), Nguyen Thanh Chung (center) and Nguyen Thanh Binh (right). These are considered the best defenders of the current Vietnamese team.
On the left wing, the Korean strategist puts his trust in defender Nguyen Phong Hong Duy. Although this player has been playing inconsistently recently, there are not many options for this position.
In addition, playing on the opposite wing is To Van Vu. He has the opportunity to show his ability in the first time joining the team under coach Kim Sang-sik.
The central midfielder duo playing in the midfield of the Vietnamese team are Chau Ngoc Quang and Le Pham Thanh Long. These are also new faces assembled into the squad for testing.
On the attack line, Mr. Kim surprisingly chose Nguyen Hoang Duc and could place him as the highest player. Next to him is striker Nguyen Van Toan on the right wing and Bui Vi Hao on the left wing.
Notably, striker Nguyen Van Quyet was not in the starting lineup. He could come off the bench at a time when the Vietnamese team needs to adjust its squad.
