Expected lineup Vietnam vs Ulsan Citizen: Tien Linh, Quang Hai on the bench

On the morning of November 27, the Vietnamese team officially took the field for their first friendly match against Ulsan Citizen. Coach Kim Sang-sik is still applying a training program with many heavy exercises for the Vietnamese team. Therefore, the Korean coach can choose a lineup with many new recruits or players in the best physical condition.

In goal, Nguyen Filip still performs well and has stable form for the Hanoi Police Club. It would be more suitable if Dang Van Lam was placed in the starting lineup against Ulsan Citizen. Recently, Van Lam has been relegated to the First Division and has not been tested against strikers of the highest level. He also made a mistake in the match against Hue. Therefore, Van Lam needs many friendly matches to improve his performance.

Nguyen Tien Linh can sit on the bench.

The defense is where coach Kim Sang-sik needs stability to create cohesion before the AFF Cup 2024 begins. Bui Tien Dung will play left center back, Bui Hoang Viet Anh will play right center back and Do Duy Manh will be the center of defense. These can be considered the best options in Vietnamese football at present. Van Thanh can appear on the left wing - a position he still plays well. Xuan Manh will play right back.

In a practice match against an opponent of equal strength, Doan Ngoc Tan can be tested. The midfielder of Dong A Thanh Hoa is in the national team for the first time, he needs the opportunity to show his professional ability and adaptability. Next to Ngoc Tan will be a name rich in technique like Hoang Duc.

On the attack line, Dinh Bac, Tien Linh and Quang Hai still need more time to reach their best physical condition. Coach Kim Sang-sik will not take any risks. Young striker Nguyen Quoc Viet will become the spearhead on the left wing. The opposite side is guarded by Khuat Van Khang. Tuan Hai plays the main role.

Vietnam team meets Ulsan Citizen at 8:30 on November 27.

Expected lineup of Vietnam team: Dang Van Lam, Tien Dung, Duy Manh, Viet Anh, Van Thanh, Xuan Manh, Ngoc Tan, Hoang Duc, Quoc Viet, Van Khang, Tuan Hai.
