Despite a 3-1 victory in the first leg of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers, the performance of the Vietnamese team is still limited. The attack missed many opportunities, the defense sometimes lost focus... showing that Mr. Kim Sang-sik and his team still have a lot of work to do.
In recent training sessions, the whole team has focused on adjusting tactics and overcoming weaknesses. The Korean strategist believes that opponents will continue to use deep defensive tactics, so he requires players to be flexible in movement, coordinate quickly and especially finish more decisively.
The home field advantage and higher squad quality are the basis for the Vietnamese team to proactively control the game. It is expected that coach Kim Sang-sik will make some changes to increase the effectiveness of the attack and create more motivation for new players.
In particular, young goalkeeper Tran Trung Kien could be given the opportunity to start in place of Van Lam to test his ability. On the attack line, names like Dinh Bac and Thanh Nhan are ready to create a breakthrough. Hai Long and Hoang Duc will still be pillars in the midfield thanks to their ability to control the ball and regulate the playing style.
In particular, the Vietnamese team will focus more on set pieces. This is considered a strength that can make a difference in the face of the opponent's crowded defense.
The match between Vietnam and Nepal in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers will take place at 7:30 p.m. today (October 14), broadcast live on VTV5, VTVgo application and FPT Play.
