What does coach Kim Sang-sik think about Cambodia?
On the afternoon of March 18, the press conference before the friendly match between the Vietnam and Cambodia teams took place at Go Dau Stadium (Binh Duong). Coach Kim Sang-sik expressed confidence after careful preparation: "The atmosphere in the whole team, the training conditions as well as the players' condition are all good. I expect the Vietnam team to win. Tomorrow's match is the first match after winning the AFF Cup 2024 championship, so it is important. There are new faces in the training list this time, I want to see their potential and performance."
The Korean strategist added more about the opponent: "The Cambodian team also has changes, so we are also careful to find a way to deal with this match. I know Cambodia has 6 naturalized players, from Japan to Africa. Kader Coulibaly is a striker, has performed well in the National Championship and scored 2 goals at the AFF Cup 2024, this is a dangerous player on the opposing team. But I have Duy Manh, Thanh Chung, the defenders I have good control over. The Vietnamese team does not focus on any individual. We show the audience how well prepared we are."
Overall, the Vietnamese team is confident but not complacent. Coach Kim Sang-sik assessed that the Cambodian team is not easy to play against, and is gradually getting stronger thanks to naturalized players, so the Vietnamese team must try their best.
Center-back Do Duy Manh said: "Tomorrow's match (March 19) will not be easy. We will follow the strategy set by the coaching staff to win against Cambodia. It has been a long time since the team played in the South, we hope the audience will come and support us. Fans are always a great motivation for the players to win, first the match against Cambodia and then Laos."
Coach Kim Sang-sik affirmed that the Vietnamese team has prepared carefully before the match against Cambodia.

Difficulties of the Vietnam team
The Vietnamese team is confident, but also facing some difficulties. Coach Kim Sang-sik said: "Regarding the weather, Binh Duong is a bit hot. However, my players are adapting well. Their current physical condition is stable. The football field here is different from the field we play on in Hanoi. We are adapting and improving. Of the injured players, only Viet Anh has returned to his club. This is a pity. However, we still have other defenders to replace this player. As for the new players, I chose them because they performed well in the last match and have the opportunity to compete with players in the same position. I will continue to monitor these players. If they are in good form, I will let them play and analyze them further."
The goalkeeper position is also receiving attention after Dinh Trieu returned to training with the team. Coach Kim Sang-sik revealed that the goalkeeper's ability to play in the match against the Cambodian team will be re-evaluated after the afternoon training session on March 18.
