Vietnam Team: Coach Kim Sang Sik, why haven't you tried yet?

Try not to call…

Meeting Cambodia, fans expect coach Kim Sang Sik to create many new points for the Vietnamese team from personnel to playing style and to win.

However, those expectations were only achieved in the result when the Vietnamese team beat Cambodia with a score of 2-1, the rest was unclear or very little.

Specifically, the goal of testing new factors such as Ly Duc, Minh Khoa, Thai Son... ultimately did not happen, except for Trieu Viet Hung who was arranged to play on the left wing, slightly off-shoulder.

The way the Vietnamese team played was not really eye-catching, although it was a little different from before. Because coach Kim Sang Sik's students used more short or medium passes, but the efficiency was not high.

Not stopping there, the players' sluggish performance and rather superficial finishing after the break made the highly anticipated performance of the Vietnamese team at Go Dau Stadium suddenly become bland.

Why?

Demanding that the Vietnamese team win with an impressive performance in a friendly match testing the lineup, players, playing style... is clearly too much.

But the problem is that coach Kim Sang Sik did not really experiment when putting on the field almost the strongest lineup at the moment, so the performance just shown against Cambodia deserves to be... criticized.

However, we can sympathize with the Korean strategist, the fact that the players still cannot release the inertia from their feet to their heads, making the performance against Cambodia at Go Dau stadium less impressive.

In fact, most of the starting players in the squad have just gone through a series of intense matches in the V-League, many of whom had to practice separately or at a light intensity before taking the field against Cambodia.

More importantly, in a friendly match, Quang Hai, Hoang Duc or other teammates do not have too many reasons to go all out to take risks with their legs still serving the club with their own goals in the V-League, First Division.

The lackluster victory over Cambodia is undeniable, but to some extent, we can sympathize with coach Kim Sang Sik and his team because after all, the last match was just… fun and received gifts, that's all.
