The smile is back
Immediately after arriving in Korea, Coach Kim Sang-sik and his team started high-intensity training with a frequency of 2 sessions/day. Despite the cold weather, the players were still very excited with the new training plans of the coaching staff. Information from Korea showed positive signs of a united and determined team. There was no time to rest, no time to relax and enjoy the wonderful scenery and early winter atmosphere of the ancient city of Gyeongju, instead there were intense training sessions and high-intensity movements.
Coach Kim Sang-sik and the Vietnamese team are highly focused in every training session in Korea.
Whether it is a gym session or a difficult tactical exercise, the team atmosphere is always exciting, cheerful and filled with laughter. The Korean coach's style is completely different from the somewhat rigid teaching method of Coach Troussier. Mr. Kim is close and friendly with the players, directly passing the ball and kicking the ball with them. Mr. Kim's gentleness but also strictness helps the players not to be under too much psychological pressure and everything is still within the framework. This will help increase the spirit of solidarity for the whole team and also help each member have the most comfortable mentality to receive a large amount of training. The team's tactical diagram and playing style have been and will be formed more sharply when facing the high-dose test, which is the good teams of other countries.
FIND THE RIGHT PLAY
In addition to strengthening and improving physical strength with heavy exercise and strength development sessions in the gym, in recent days, the Vietnamese team has been focusing on ball control and launching attacks from the home field. Most of the tactical exercises focus on the quality of passes from the home field according to the criteria: fast, accurate and with an accurate destination. Another important requirement is that the passes must have the intention of bringing advantages to the receiver or will create direction for the next ball development situations. The midfielders in the midfield area are tasked with controlling and circulating the ball smoothly and flexibly.
Mr. Kim faces many challenges.
A very important requirement that the coaching staff is placing on the players to improve their ability to control the ball and coordinate at high intensity is to pass the ball well with both feet as well as to handle the ball quickly with one-touch passes. These are all basic factors but have not been properly taken care of in both the V-League and the national team. Many times our players are too casual and easy with bad, off-target, and poor quality passes. This makes it very easy for the Vietnamese team to lose the ball in the midfield area and not have high-damage passes in the opponent's third of the field. Reality has proven that the Vietnamese team has failed in major tournaments recently because they have not trained themselves in special "tricks", leading to being easily predicted by opponents.
In the past few days, the Vietnamese team has been practicing high-intensity passing and control exercises, constantly moving from the back of the field, rotating through the midfielders with one-touch passes, quickly deploying the ball down the sideline, returning and finishing. Overall, these are exercises that can both improve the general physical foundation with aerobic and anaerobic endurance, and improve the ability to pass and control the ball with high intensity and pressure, ready to meet the requirements of difficult tactical exercises in the coming period.
In general, the players are very enthusiastic and respond well to the coach's requests. Of course, there are still occasional bad passes and bad handling, and all are reminded, analyzed promptly, and learned from to avoid recurrence. The living, working, and training conditions in Korea are also always calculated to ensure the most scientific. The most worrying thing right now is the injury of some key players such as Quang Hai, Dinh Bac, and Thanh Chung. However, according to information from the team's medical department, these players will also recover in time and join the team in the upcoming important friendly matches.
The initial steps had certain difficulties, but the Vietnamese team adapted well and caught up with the rhythm of life and training in the best way. Hopefully, with a good start and a good foundation of basic preparation, Mr. Kim and his students will have quality friendly matches and gradually return to the best version at the AFF Cup 2024 taking place at the end of the year.
