Although the Tet holiday is coming, coach Kim Sang-sik still decided to end his vacation early to take advantage of the time to watch the matches in V-League, check the players' performance and find new faces for the team.
In the coming time, he and his assistants will go to the stadiums to watch matches in national professional tournaments to ensure the best preparation for the Vietnamese team before entering the first match of the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup, taking place at FIFA Days in March. After winning the 2024 AFF Cup, Coach Kim Sang-sik has more motivation and confidence to continue towards new goals.
