On the afternoon of March 18, coach Kim Sang Sik and player Do Duy Manh attended a press conference before the friendly match between the Vietnamese team and the Cambodian team. The match will take place at 7:30 pm tomorrow, March 19, at Binh Duong Stadium.
Cambodia team gets stronger
The Korean coach made comments about his opponent Cambodia: "Cambodia has changed a lot with naturalized players, so the Vietnamese team must be careful and find ways to deal with them.
I know the Cambodian team has 6 naturalized players from Japan and Africa, including the very dangerous striker Abdel Kader Coulibaly (Ivory Coast - PV).
He played in the 2024 ASEAN Cup and the Cambodian tournament. However, Vietnam has good central defenders who can deal with him like Duy Manh and Thanh Chung. The opponent is not just a player, but also a team."
Mr. Kim Sang Sik further pointed out: "The Cambodian team's FIFA ranking is not high, but in the current naturalization flow, they have changed every day. Every team gets stronger over time. We can see that Cambodia at the 2024 ASEAN Cup is not easy to defeat."

Vietnam team situation
The head coach of the Vietnam national team also provided information about the team's situation: "Goalkeeper Dinh Trieu is recovering well from his injury, but whether he can play or not will be decided by us after today's training session.
I also regret that Bui Hoang Viet Anh left the team, but we have other defensive players who can meet the requirements. The new players have been in good form recently, creating competition in the team. I also want to test their abilities this time."
Coach Kim Sang Sik did not forget to mention that the match against Cambodia is the first match of the Vietnamese team after winning the ASEAN Cup 2024. He highly appreciated the result of tomorrow's match.
"After the ASEAN Cup 2024, I see that the expectations and love of the fans are very high. My goal is to continue to bring the audience enjoyment from the matches of the Vietnamese team. I want to bring the Vietnamese team to new and bigger goals," he affirmed.
The friendly match between Vietnam and Cambodia will take place at 7:30 p.m. on March 19.
Hot weather and ginger grass pitch are two differences that coach Kim Sang Sik pointed out when the Vietnamese team played in the North and when they played in Binh Duong.
