Vietnam has many advantages over Thailand in the second leg of the 2024 ASEAN Cup final. Therefore, coach Kim Sang-sik needs to come up with the best lineup as well as reasonable tactics to make the most of every opportunity on the field.
In the goal position, goalkeeper Nguyen Dinh Trieu received the trust of the Korean coach. Before the match, Mr. Kim emphasized that Dinh Trieu has good skills and the ability to communicate and exchange with teammates better than Filip Nguyen.
In the last two semi-finals, Dinh Trieu also had a stable performance, especially two impressive saves that helped him score points with the coaching staff.
The Vietnamese defense is still made up of familiar faces. Do Duy Manh plays left center back, Nguyen Thanh Chung plays center back and Bui Tien Dung plays right back. This is also the most experienced defense under Kim Sang-sik at present.
The left wing is likely to be defender Nguyen Van Vi. He has good physical strength and tackling ability. On the other side, there is the appearance of defender Pham Xuan Manh. Although this player left the field in the middle of the second half in the previous match, he still played a good role.
Above, in the midfield, Doan Ngoc Tan and Nguyen Hoang Duc can be chosen to play as central midfielders. This duo has coordinated quite well after the past matches, both holding the ball, deploying the play, and supporting the defense well.
Meanwhile, Nguyen Quang Hai could return to the starting lineup as an attacking midfielder, playing alongside young striker Bui Vi Hao. The striker is none other than Nguyen Xuan Son - with the task of harassing the opponent's defense and scoring goals.
In addition, strikers Nguyen Tien Linh and Pham Tuan Hai can be put on the field depending on the appropriate time.
Expected lineup of Vietnam team: Nguyen Dinh Trieu, Nguyen Van Vi, Do Duy Manh, Nguyen Thanh Chung, Bui Tien Dung, Pham Xuan Manh, Doan Ngoc Tan, Nguyen Hoang Duc, Nguyen Quang Hai, Bui Vi Hao, Nguyen Xuan Son.
