On the afternoon of December 28, the Vietnamese team entered the only training session before the second leg of the AFF Cup 2024 semi-final. In fact, the Vietnamese team only practiced lightly because the match day was near and coach Kim Sang-sik "reviewed" some aspects for his students.
Previously, due to a busy travel and competition schedule, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team had to skip the afternoon practice session on December 27 and only did light exercise in the hotel.

According to regulations, the official practice session before the match will not be open to fans. However, many people in Viet Tri city, Phu Tho province are still present at the stadium.
Unable to enter the stands, they decided to stand at the large iron gate closest to the area where the Vietnamese team warmed up. Fans showed a lot of affection for Nguyen Xuan Son and his teammates.

Up to this point, the Vietnamese team only has striker Nguyen Van Toan who is still having to practice separately with the doctors. The striker born in 1996 has a torn knee ligament and is uncertain whether he can play the rest of the AFF Cup 2024. Meanwhile, Bui Hoang Viet Anh, after a one-match absence, has returned to practice with his teammates. Before the first leg of the semi-final, the center back of the Hanoi Police Club suffered a slight pain.
Coach Kim Sang-sik said he had prepared carefully for the second leg of the semi-final. The Vietnamese team currently has a 2-goal advantage over their opponents. Singapore needs to win by at least 2 goals to send the match into extra time.
Nguyen Xuan Son is the focus of public attention.
In the pre-match press conference, coach Kim Sang-sik said: " This tournament has a tight schedule. The players are highly focused. We thank the fans who came to the stadium and supported the Vietnamese team. We are determined to play our best in tomorrow's match.
We won 2-0 in the first leg and have one foot in the final. However, this score is still very dangerous. Tomorrow's match is not easy, but the Vietnamese team needs to try their best when playing at home ."
The match between Vietnam and Singapore will take place at 8:00 p.m. on December 29.
