Before the match against the Philippines in the 4th round of the AFF Cup 2024, coach Kim Sang-sik is showing great confidence. The proof is that in the most recent training sessions, the Korean coach is ready to use bibs to divide the Vietnamese team into groups.
Under coach Park Hang-seo, Vietnamese football has achieved many successes at the national team, U.23 and Olympic levels. However, during training sessions, Park Hang-seo only distributes bibs to the main and reserve teams when the open training session ends and the media is no longer allowed to cover. The Korean coach pays great attention to this confidentiality. In fact, at many times, he even lets players wear shirts with different numbers to make it difficult for opponents to recognize them.

Under coach Philippe Troussier, the Vietnamese team had a completely different style. The French coach appeared very confident and reporters could easily record the team's training sessions with three different colors: for the starting lineup, the reserve lineup and the unregistered players.
According to coach Philippe Troussier, these images are not too important and he is willing to let the media record them. Unfortunately, after a few impressive performances at the 2023 Asian Cup, coach Philippe Troussier continuously suffered defeats with the Vietnamese team and had to leave early.
Up to now, coach Kim Sang-sik is leading the Vietnamese team, he is ready to use bibs for players during open practice. According to the observations of the group of reporters, blue bibs are always an indicator of players who can start in the next matches. The reporters tried to predict based on the captured images and the results were almost correct.
During the training session on December 13 - when the Vietnamese team was preparing to meet Indonesia at home (December 15), the Korean coach used bibs for a group of players such as midfielders Quang Hai, Doan Ngoc Tan, Hoang Duc, striker Tien Linh, full-backs Van Vi (left) and Xuan Manh (right) and central defenders Bui Tien Dung and Thanh Chung.
Notably, when the match between the Vietnamese team took place, all of these players were on the field from the start. More importantly, the Vietnamese team had a completely overwhelming match against Indonesia, winning 1-0. This victory not only helped the Vietnamese team rise to the top of Group B but also showed that Coach Kim Sang-sik's confidence is very high.
The starting players against the Philippines may have been revealed.
To prepare for the match against the Philippines on December 18, coach Kim Sang-sik is doing the same thing. In the latest training sessions, three players, Duy Manh, Viet Anh and Thanh Binh, all wore the same bib. These are considered the best central defenders of the Vietnamese team at the moment and will most likely start the match.
Meanwhile, in the midfield, in addition to the two important players Quang Hai and Hoang Duc, Chau Ngoc Quang is the latest face to be "given" the bib. Since the beginning of the AFF Cup 2024, the HAGL Club player has not started and he will likely be given the opportunity in the match against the Philippines. In the attack, Tien Linh, with his good form, is expected to still be on the field from the start. In addition, Bui Vi Hao and Tuan Hai are also practicing hard, ready to shine if selected.
At 8pm on December 18, the Vietnamese team will play the Philippines. At the pre-match press conference, coach Kim Sang-sik affirmed his determination: "The dense competition schedule creates difficulties, but we are really ready for tomorrow's match. We have not lost in the group stage and will continue to try to win to enter the semi-finals soon."
