TEACHER K IM AGAIN "RUBIK'S CUB"
To create the AFF Cup 2024 championship framework, coach Kim Sang-sik has "molded" the Vietnamese team for 6 months with new experiments. The Korean coach advocated keeping the 3-4-3 formation, along with some pillars and the way of operation of his predecessor, but did not forget to interweave his own signature options.
Coach Kim Sang-sik shows off his "polishing" skills again
For example, coach Kim Sang-sik once arranged midfielder Duc Chien to play as a sweeper to develop the ball, assigned the right wing to Van Vu, trusted Van Truong in the role of central midfielder, and trusted Van Vi, Vi Hao, Ngoc Quang, Hai Long or Dinh Trieu even though these players had never been called up to the national team, or had not been called up for a long time. Inheriting the foundation of the predecessor, but not forgetting to build one's own mark while still ensuring achievements, is not a simple matter. However, Mr. Kim still completed it completely.
"The 2024 AFF Cup championship is just the beginning. I want to have more new milestones, on a new journey with the Vietnamese team," coach Kim Sang-sik affirmed. He shared with Thanh Nien reporter: "My goal is to discover new factors. I will watch the V-League diligently, take detailed notes to find worthy people." Having conquered glory, Mr. Kim still does not forget to continue to renew the Vietnamese team.
New recruits such as Ly Duc, Minh Khoa, Viet Hung, Xuan Hoang, Van Viet (first time on the national team under coach Kim Sang-sik) are proof of the Korean coach's statement. In the friendly match with Cambodia (March 19) or the match with Laos in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers (March 25), it is very likely that new faces will be given opportunities. Coach Kim Sang-sik's bold use of players in 2024 shows that he does not hesitate to give opportunities to anyone.
A GOOD FOR WISDOM , MINH K HOA
Among the new recruits, Ly Duc (22 years old) and Minh Khoa (23 years old) have the highest chance to show their potential, because they are both young and potential seeds. At the same time, these two "young shoots" play in a position where the Vietnamese team really needs a breath of fresh air.
For Ly Duc, the competition in the defense will be tough. The young center back of HAGL is in his first season playing in the V-League but has to compete with experienced seniors like Thanh Chung, Duy Manh, Tien Dung and Thanh Binh. It is not easy to break into the defense that has played well together for many years. However, it is not by chance that Mr. Kim Sang-sik allowed Ly Duc to "jump" from the U.22 team straight to the Vietnam national team.
"Coach Kim Sang-sik has indeed rejuvenated, but he only calls on those he believes are worthy of wearing the national team jersey. I believe Ly Duc is proof of that," said expert Doan Minh Xuong. Most of Coach Kim's defenders are between 28 and 30 years old and may only play well for the next 2 or 3 years. In the 2024 AFF Cup, Duy Manh and Tien Dung are only average. Therefore, Coach Kim Sang-sik needs young central defenders ready to take their place.
Similarly, Minh Khoa plays in a highly competitive position as a central midfielder. However, this is an area where it is true that there is a surplus, but it is also true that there is a shortage. Coach Kim Sang-sik has many good midfielders, but not many players meet the requirements such as abundant physical strength, versatility, good control of the game and good ball control. Even someone as talented and experienced as Hoang Duc had to wait until the semi-finals to really stand out. Ngoc Tan is an interesting phenomenon, but he is 31 years old, no longer suitable for the long-term plan.
Abundant energy, a fighting style, enthusiasm in disputes and clever, precise passes make Minh Khoa the most worth-watching shuttle midfielder in V-League today. With a strategist who likes to "turn the Rubik's cube" in the midfield like Kim Sang-sik, Minh Khoa will be tested.
