Coach Kim Sang Sik 'reaps the harvest' after 2 victories of Vietnam team

Many professional lessons

Winning a friendly match against Cambodia and 3 points against Laos in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers helped Vietnam rise in the FIFA rankings. This is the first success for coach Kim Sang Sik and his team.

Surely the Korean strategist has calculated very carefully and wants the Vietnamese team to quickly return to the world's top 100, because this is beneficial when drawing lots to divide the group for the 2027 Asian Cup (if the team wins a ticket).

Besides, the two matches with Cambodia and Laos also helped Mr. Kim Sang Sik realize many problems of the Vietnamese team.

Victories against Cambodia and Laos help Vietnam advance in FIFA rankings

The Vietnam coach used almost his best players for the match against Cambodia or Laos, although he could still experiment and win. That is because he wants to test the ability of the main squad to make reasonable calculations for the long road ahead.

Whatever he saw in these two matches, whether good or in need of improvement, was a success for Mr. Kim Sang Sik, so it is not wrong to say that he learned many useful lessons.

Valuable harvest of human resources

Contrary to expectations, in the two matches held during FIFA Days in March, coach Kim Sang Sik did not experiment much with personnel, despite calling up quite a few new players.

Although not able to experiment much, the Korean strategist and the Vietnamese team have gained a lot from the personnel problem with the same old people.

Van Vi and Hai Long are certainly the biggest harvest for Mr. Kim Sang Sik this time. Specifically, the duo of players who appeared at the ASEAN Cup 2024 affirmed their ability with the Korean captain with explosive performances in the last 2 matches.

The worry about a left wing lacking Van Hau and not being able to use Jason Quang Vinh ended after what was seen from Van Vi - a name that few people knew before Mr. Kim Sang Sik called him up to the Vietnam national team.

Or like the case of Hai Long, the player from Quang Ninh has also become an indispensable name in the attack line of the Vietnamese national team at this time.

Realizing the problems that the team needed to fix and supplement, at the same time Van Vi and Hai Long affirmed their abilities and advanced professionally... that's why coach Kim Sang Sik reaped a lot of benefits.
