Vietnam Team: The Door Is Open
The biggest mark that coach Kim Sang-sik has made in the success of the AFF Cup 2024 is "saying and doing", opening up a positive competitive atmosphere in the Vietnamese team, where form and desire will be prioritized over reputation.
The beauty of the 1976-born coach is creating a balance between screening new and old elements, between using young, eager players and experienced pillars, creating cohesion as a driving force for the team to move forward.
Thanks to that, the Vietnamese team won the AFF Cup 2024, defeating Thailand in two consecutive matches for the first time, with a squad including many new names such as Dinh Trieu, Xuan Manh (discovered in the right center-back position), Thanh Chung, Van Vi, Ngoc Tan, Vi Hao...

The success on the field comes from the seed of belief that Mr. Kim sowed in the team that has successfully sprouted and matured, that the door of the Vietnamese team is always open to everyone.
This will not only be limited to the 2024 AFF Cup, but will continue to be maintained by the former top star of Korean football in the future, to create continuous competitiveness in the Vietnamese team starting in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers opening from next March.
This means that other rough diamonds or veterans absent from the AFF Cup 2024 still have a chance, on the contrary, the heroes of the AFF Cup 2024 can completely lose their place if they cannot maintain their form.
Journey of Aspiration

For the first time, the 2024 AFF Cup will witness the heroes of Coach Park Hang-seo's cycle such as Ngoc Hai, Van Lam, Hung Dung, Cong Phuong, Van Duc, Van Hau, Tuan Anh... absent from the Vietnamese national team in a major tournament.
But as mentioned above, with the current management style of coach Kim Sang-sik, the door to returning to the Vietnamese national team is still open for the above stars, if they can show impressive performance in the club's shirt.
It must be affirmed that even though they will not participate in the AFF Cup 2024 for various reasons, the above players can still contribute effectively to the Vietnamese team thanks to their talent and experience.

In addition, Mr. Kim focused his energy on another very important task: finding new factors, people who bring creative technical qualities like Hai Long, speed like Vi Hao or fighting spirit like Ngoc Tan.
