On the evening of June 10, the Vietnam team will face Malaysia at Bukit Jalil Stadium in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers. Accordingly, Vietnam's starting lineup has changed compared to the match against Laos last March.
In goal, the chosen player is goalkeeper Filip Nguyen instead of Dinh Trieu. Recently, the overseas Vietnamese goalkeeper has been in good form. This will help the Vietnamese team be more confident against attacks from naturalized players on the Malaysian side.
Meanwhile, the three central defenders are still familiar names. Bui Tien Dung played on the left, Do Duy Manh played on the right and Nguyen Thanh Chung played in the center of the defense. Mr. Kim Sang-sik needs the solidity and experience of these players.
A notable change for the Vietnam team when Cao Pendant Quang Vinh was placed on the left wing. The overseas Vietnamese defender born in 1997 has the opportunity to start in his first time wearing the Vietnam national team jersey. On the opposite wing, Truong Tien Anh was chosen by coach Kim Sang-sik for his strength and speed.
Playing in the midfield are the midfielder pair Nguyen Hoang Duc and Vo Hoang Minh Khoa. They are tasked with rotating and giving cards to the Vietnam team.
Up front, Nguyen Van Vi will attack on the left wing and Hai Long will play on the right wing. Meanwhile, Chau Ngoc Quang played the highest position, replacing Tien Linh on the bench.
The starting lineup of the Vietnam team: Filip Nguyen, Tien Dung, Thanh Chung, Duy Manh, Quang Vinh, Tien Anh, Hoang Duc, Minh Khoa, Van Vi, Hai Long, Ngoc Quang.
