Premature aging
With the high competition density of this tournament, there is nothing wrong with coach Kim Sang-sik rotating the squad to "preserve energy" and create conditions for many players to compete. This is even a testament to Mr. Kim's confidence and trust in his students. However, his calculations do not always match objective developments. The progress of the match with the Philippines team is the clearest lesson for Mr. Kim to realize that, just a little negligence in operation, we may have to pay the price.
Coach Kim Sang-sik needs to be more clear-headed in calculating the personnel on the field for the Vietnamese team.
Observing the way the Korean coach arranged the squad, we can easily see that Mr. Kim has never used his strongest squad to create an advantage. In the 3 matches against Laos, Indonesia and the Philippines, Mr. Kim arranged the starting lineup with mostly "substitutes". That made the Vietnamese team likened to a "oil machine", starting slowly, operating with difficulty, and becoming more and more deadlocked. The away team, Vietnam, almost paid the price when facing an opponent nicknamed The Azkals - who had a slight advantage when playing on artificial turf and "trapped" us with a close-knit style of play, not afraid of collision.
Doan Ngoc Tan and his teammates practiced on December 19. Without his goal, who knows what would have happened.
In official matches, with high intensity, combativeness and fierce competition, a stable team with players who understand each other is still required. However, Coach Kim Sang-sik's frequent personnel changes did not meet that compatibility. Therefore, there were many times when our players lost their rhythm when coordinating, losing the opportunity to approach the opponent's goal. It is clear that in the "battle" between the Vietnamese and Philippine teams at Rizal Memorial Stadium, the Vietnamese team's coaching staff was thinking about aging.
It was thought that the key players could rest, but in the end, coach Kim Sang-sik still had to put all his best players on the field. For more than half of the second half, the Vietnamese team used 4 strikers including Tien Linh, Tuan Hai, Van Toan, Vi Hao, and Hoang Duc, Van Vi... but we were still helpless against a Philippines that knew themselves and their opponents very well. Luckily, the opponent's goalkeeper made a mistake and midfielder Doan Ngoc Tan was quick to seize the opportunity to score an equalizer. Otherwise, a defeat, even in a "superior" position, would still have had negative impacts on the psychology and spirit of the whole team, not to mention the decline in the fans' confidence, which could have put even more pressure on Mr. Kim's players.
P MUST SELF-RESCUE
Respecting the personal calculations of Coach Kim Sang-sik, all plans must still aim for efficiency and safety above all, not a game of hide-and-seek, hardship, and psychological challenges for fans. From initial confidence, leading to subjectivity, we have fallen into a state of "rescuing" ourselves.
Mr. Kim has a very difficult match in the group stage.
I think, if there was a better choice, gathering collective strength to gain an advantage from the beginning, we could have been at ease and at ease before the semi-finals. But at present, the Vietnamese team, although holding the advantage of "heavenly time - favorable location - harmony of people", still has to be cautious and cannot be sure of victory against the visiting team Myanmar, because football always has unpredictable variables.
It was Mr. Kim, and no one else, who created the drama in the final round of the group stage. The prediction of a victory for the Vietnamese team against the Philippines did not come true, which greatly affected the nature and situation of Group B. In the remaining journey, Mr. Kim and his students need to choose a safer approach instead of making fans nervous and worried like what happened in the past. Do not choose the difficult path that we could have completely avoided.
