(Dan Tri) - Coach Kim Sang Sik is likely to change a few positions of the Vietnamese team in the match against Indonesia at Viet Tri Stadium (Phu Tho) at 8:00 p.m. tonight (December 15).
In the opening match of the AFF Cup 2024, the Vietnamese team won 4-1 against Laos on December 9. However, that was not the team's strongest lineup. Coach Kim Sang Sik still wants to experiment with a few more positions such as Tien Anh, Van Khang, Dinh Trieu...

But most likely, in the match against Indonesia at 8:00 p.m. on December 15, the Korean coach will launch a "steel punch" with the strongest squad with great determination to win 3 points. A victory against Indonesia (the team that beat Vietnam 3 times in 2024) will help the whole team "untie the knot" psychologically and move forward steadily. According to the records in recent training sessions, coach Kim Sang Sik has begun to assemble the main squad to play against Indonesia. In the goal, goalkeeper Dinh Trieu will most likely give up his position to Nguyen Filip. In the match against Laos, Dinh Trieu had a few notable saves. However, he showed his immaturity when making a pass to Duy Manh leading to a penalty. Compared to the goalkeeper of Hai Phong Club, Nguyen Filip has more international experience. Besides, the Czech goalkeeper's footwork is very good. That can help the Vietnamese team deploy the ball from the back. In defense, Bui Hoang Viet Anh can be a perfect choice alongside Duy Manh and Thanh Chung. Viet Anh's height can help the Vietnamese team solve the problem of high balls from Pratama Arhan's throw-ins. Quang Hai is an important factor of the Vietnam team (Photo: Manh Quan). There will be changes on both wings of the Vietnamese team. Tien Anh, who did not play well against Laos, will be replaced by Xuan Manh. On the opposite wing, Van Vi may start from the beginning (replacing Van Khang) after his impressive performance against Laos. Van Vi's ability to climb the wing and cross the ball well can be a powerful weapon for the Vietnamese team. In midfield, coach Kim Sang Sik will likely keep Ngoc Tan even though this player did not really impress in the match against Laos. The energetic playing style and good fighting ability of the player wearing the Thanh Hoa club shirt will help the Vietnamese team in the battle for the midfield with Indonesia. Quang Hai may return to the starting lineup after sitting on the bench in the match against Laos. The ability to keep the rhythm and pass the ball well of the player born in 1997 is highly appreciated. Quang Hai will be the fuse to help the Vietnamese team attack Indonesia's "vital point" in the middle. Indonesia's ability to counterattack is not good. Quang Hai's passes will open up counter-attack opportunities for the Vietnamese team. In attack, the positions of Tien Linh and Hai Long remain unchanged. In the context that naturalized player Nguyen Xuan Son (foreign name Rafaelson) is not allowed to play, Tien Linh will be coach Kim Sang Sik's number one choice in the center forward position. Hai Long has an energetic playing style and is able to exploit space well, so he will be a potential surprise factor for the "Golden Dragons". In the match against Laos, Hai Long moved well into Tien Linh's position, before launching an unstoppable shot, opening the score of the match. In Vi Hao's position, Hoang Duc is likely to replace him. Coach Kim Sang Sik will allow the Ninh Binh Club player to play freely and harass the Indonesian defense. According to statistics, Indonesia has never beaten Vietnam in the AFF Cup since 2016. In the last 4 matches, they drew 3 and lost 1. The team from the archipelago could not even penetrate the net of the Vietnamese team under coach Park Hang Seo in this tournament.
