Vietnam team welcomes the best goalkeeper in Korean history
As reported by Thanh Nien Newspaper, the Vietnamese team has the services of goalkeeper coach Lee Won-jae. Mr. Lee Won-jae was the main goalkeeper for Korea at the 2002 World Cup, helping the home team set a historic record by reaching the semi-finals.
Born in 1973, Lee Won-jae is one of the best goalkeepers in Korean football. Lee has participated in the World Cup 4 times (1994, 2002, 2006 and 2010) in 18 years of dedication to the Korean team. The former Korean goalkeeper has 132 international matches, 10 times in the typical lineup of the K-League and many outstanding individual titles.

Korean media reported that coach Kim Sang-sik personally invited his senior teammate to Vietnam to support him. After the two sides reached an agreement, Mr. Lee Won-jae made his debut for the Vietnamese team today (November 23).
In the first working session with the goalkeepers of the Vietnamese team, Coach Lee Won-jae showed meticulousness and set high requirements in the training sessions. Hopefully, with his extensive experience and class, Coach Lee Won-jae will contribute to creating solid shields in front of the goal for the Vietnamese team.
Vietnam team warms up
On the afternoon of November 23, the Vietnamese team entered the first training session in Korea, preparing for the AFF Cup 2024.
Because the temperature outside tends to drop quite quickly in the afternoon and evening, coach Kim Sang-sik decided to move the team's practice schedule up about 45 minutes compared to the original plan. In fact, when the team started the practice, the temperature was only about 13-14 degrees Celsius and quite pleasant thanks to the light sunshine.
The players were in good spirits despite having just taken a long flight.
Coach Kim Sang-sik and his assistants will focus on training their players' physical strength.
The team's training ground is located 15 minutes away from the hotel by bus and is a familiar place with many memories for the players of Hanoi Club. Last year, when participating in the AFC Champions League 2023/24, Hanoi Club with the participation of Tuan Hai, Hai Long, Xuan Manh, Thanh Chung, Duy Manh, Van Truong practiced on this training ground to prepare for the match against the home team Pohang Steelers.
However, under the cold weather conditions of the Korean winter, the grass on the training ground could not maintain its fresh green color as it had a few months ago. However, the quality of the field still ensured that the Vietnamese team could carry out technical and tactical exercises.
According to the plan, the Vietnamese team will maintain training with a frequency of 2 sessions per day, in which 3 practice matches will take place on November 27 (against Ulsan Citizen FC), November 29 (against Daegu FC) and December 1 (against Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors).
Coach Kim Sang-sik attaches special importance to the team's training session this time. He often reminds his players to pay maximum attention and show the highest determination.
