COACH KIM SANG-SIK WANTS TO DEFEAT EVERY OPPONENT

In the group stage of the AFF Cup 2024, the Vietnamese team will play 2 home matches and 2 away matches. Because they are in the top seed group, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team have a favorable match schedule, especially welcoming strong opponent Indonesia at home in Viet Tri (Phu Tho). The enthusiastic cheers of about 20,000 spectators will be an endless source of strength, creating a great source of spiritual encouragement for Nguyen Tien Linh and his teammates to aim for victory.

Another factor that is also on the side of the Vietnamese team when facing Indonesia is their physical fitness and careful tactical preparation. After the opening match, a 4-1 victory over Laos (on December 9), the Vietnamese team returned home and had a break from the second round of the group stage. Therefore, the Vietnamese team has 6 days to focus on the match against Indonesia on December 15. The coaching staff of the Vietnamese team also has more time to study the opponent, from which to come up with optimal solutions.

Coach Kim Sang-sik emphasized: "We will solve each match one by one and strive to achieve the best result against the Indonesian team. The Vietnamese team will try their best to reach the final, as the initial goal set. I can confidently say that the players are 100% ready both physically and mentally. I can confirm that we will have good results for all matches."

"KEY" FROM YOUR STRENGTH

Although the victory of the Vietnamese team against Laos still has some flaws, many signs have appeared. 4 goals and 3 full points in the opening match will be a perfect momentum for coach Kim Sang-sik and his students. However, Indonesia is a much more difficult opponent than Laos. Commentator Ngo Quang Tung commented: "The main lineup against Laos is probably more or less experimental in some positions. When facing Indonesia, I think the starting lineup will have some changes. Coach Kim Sang-sik will most likely deploy the most satisfactory force that he has in hand. The change in personnel will probably come from the midfield and wingers."

The Vietnamese team is expected to face many difficulties against Indonesia. The team from the archipelago country, with a squad consisting mostly of U.21 players, will likely prioritize playing solidly at home. In this match, finding goals will be a difficult task for Tien Linh and his teammates.

According to commentator Quang Tung, the key to turning the match will come from the Vietnamese players' signature attacking moves. "Long passes from a Vietnamese defender to the back of the opponent's defense are a familiar move that has been around since coach Park Hang-seo's time, but have never gotten old. The Vietnamese team needs to develop this. It is necessary to pull the opponent's formation up high, and the passes from central defenders Bui Tien Dung, Do Duy Manh... like in the match against Laos will threaten the opponent's goal. In addition, the Vietnamese team can also exploit second-ball situations to create breakthroughs. In particular, Tien Linh will play the role of a wall, allowing the good finishers behind like Tuan Hai, Quang Hai... to kick in," commentator Quang Tung analyzed.

According to Mr. Tung, the Vietnamese team needs to be extremely cautious with the counter-attacks and quick attacks of the Indonesian team: "The outstanding players in the current Indonesian squad such as Asnawi Mangkualam and Rafael Struick all have good speed and technique. In addition, the Vietnamese team needs to be well prepared for strong throw-ins straight into the penalty area of Pratama Arhan. These are all dangerous weapons in the hands of coach Shin Tae-yong."
