1. In an interview after winning the championship with the Vietnamese team, coach Kim Sang Sik revealed that he still hasn't had time to pack his luggage neatly at the apartment provided by the VFF because... he's always ready to be fired. It's understandable that the Korean captain is ready for the worst if the VFF loses patience with his initial results with the Vietnamese team. In fact, the Vietnamese team under coach Kim Sang Sik did not make much of an impression in terms of results, playing style... before winning the 2024 ASEAN Cup. However, at this moment, when he and the Vietnamese team climbed to the No. 1 position in Southeast Asian football for the third time in history, coach Kim Sang Sik is becoming a new hero and making fans hope to help Vietnamese football fly higher in the future.

2. Exceeding the target at the ASEAN Cup 2024 with the championship with the Vietnamese team helps to make coach Kim Sang Sik's position more secure. However, to gain the highest trust, the Korean captain still has a lot of work to do. The ASEAN Cup 2024 championship can help the stars, veterans... of the Vietnamese team regain their desire to play football as well as contribute for a few more years, before entering the decline of their careers. However, on the contrary, it can also make everyone full enough to focus on their career, personal life... Therefore, from now on, Mr. Kim Sang Sik needs to proactively calculate to gradually have a replacement plan, if there is a difficult situation regarding the force of the Vietnamese team. 3. Along with the big goals with the Vietnamese team, including the plan to get a ticket to the 2027 ASIAN Cup, Coach Kim Sang Sik has other difficult tasks in 2025, which is to help U23 Vietnam conquer the U23 Asian qualifiers or SEA Games.

At first glance, the preparation time is still far away when the U23 Asian qualifiers are scheduled to take place in September, while the 33rd SEA Games will be held in December 2025 in Thailand. However, looking at what is available, that is, the players are within the age range to participate in the tournament, in reality, Vietnamese football is facing difficulties when there are quite a few outstanding faces. Typically, in the list of players to be concentrated in 2024, not many players are playing regularly at the club, except for a few people like Khuat Van Khang, Thai Son, Vi Hao, Dinh Bac... This is certainly a big challenge and not easy to overcome for coach Kim Sang Sik after the first glory with the Vietnamese team... However, it is also hoped that from the 2024 ASEAN Cup championship, Vietnamese football will improve to reap success with the Korean strategist in the near future.
