Vietnam National Team: 4 matches with 4 starting lineups?

Is this a testing process or is it hiding your cards?Korean teacher Kim Sang-sikIt is impossible to confirm, but clearly until now it is not possible to say who are the main frame or the main, strongest squad of the Vietnam National Team?

First of all, in the goal, Mr. Kim rotated Dinh Trieu and Nguyen Fillip, each in 2 matches, in which Dinh Trieu appeared in an easy match against Laos and a difficult match against Myanmar, while Nguyen Fillip started in a really difficult match against Indonesia and an "easy" match against the Philippines. Many people predicted that with this rotation, in the first leg of the semi-final against Singapore on away ground, Nguyen Phillip would start, but is this certain to happen? Mr. Kim's plan is not so easy to predict, even though the high ball that Singapore often uses requires more talent from the Vietnamese-American player than the current goalkeeper of Hai Phong?

The three central defenders of the Vietnam National Team through 4 matches have been more disrupted with the starting lineup: Tien Dung and Thanh Chung started 3/4 matches, Duy Manh and Xuan Manh 2/4 matches, Thanh Binh 1/4 matches. To see, the 2 most trusted characters are Thanh Chung and Tien Dung, the remaining 2 are Duy Manh and Xuan Manh, 1 will be chosen to add to the three central defenders in the most important match. Thanh Binh and maybe Tan Tai are the reserves ready when needed?

The two attacking full-backs who are capable of attacking and defending in the last 4 matches are not completely fixed. Tien Anh, Van Vy and Van Khang 2/4 matches, Tan Tai and Van Thanh 1/4 match. With what has been shown, the opportunity for the Van Vy-Tien Anh duo is very big, although Van Thanh is not a bad player.

The central midfielders also played depending on the difficulty of the matches, in which, Hoang Duc, Quang Hai and Ngoc Tan started 3/4 matches, Ngoc Quang 1/4 matches, Thanh Long has not played. On the attack line, Tien Linh and Vy Hao started 2/4 matches, Hai Long, Xuan Son (just allowed to play the first match), Van Toan also started 1/4 matches. With Van Toan leaving the tournament injured and Xuan Son playing with 10 points in the match against Myanmar, the attack line of the National Team will be the killer duo Xuan Son-Tien Linh, if playing 3 people then Vy Hao is the bright name.

Through the above preliminary statistics, it shows that even though the Vietnam Team has been at its peak like the victory over Myanmar or has had difficulties in the first half of all the recent matches and even the matches against the Philippines or Indonesia, the starting lineup is still a "difficult question" for opponents to find possible measures to limit the playing style or make it difficult, overwhelming, and ineffective as expected.

What makes many people interested and worried is not understanding why the Vietnam National Team did not turn on the engine early and achieve the highest performance in the first half of the matches, even though there were many opportunities? Actually, this is not new. The training process in Korea with weak teams has shown this and the sincere Korean friends have had the opportunity to warn? But fixing and overcoming is not a matter of one or two days when it is already... inherent! Of course, the case of Xuan Son in the first half against Myanmar can be understood and shared. When this naturalized striker opened his national team record with a double goal and assist as seen. Hopefully from Xuan Son, the Vietnam National Team will do what experts and fans expect.

Coming up next are the two semi-final matches against Singapore, with the first leg on December 25th facing a difficult artificial turf field, and the second leg on December 29th with home field advantage, which will be an opportunity for the players to demonstrate their talent and dedication. Vietnamese football is coming back, as Mr. Kim Sang-sik said, which is an accurate and well-founded assessment, although everything is still ahead. It is easy to see that thanks to the world-class striker Xuan Son playing in the center of the attack, the other lines and individuals will play with more confidence and confidence, and if they score early, everything will be easier and more favorable. A new atmosphere and confidence within the team as well as public opinion from now on will make the team have greater internal strength, play more comfortably and freely.

Of course, it cannot be said that everything is favorable because the upcoming opponent will be tougher, all the shortcomings that have been revealed as well as those that have not been revealed will be exposed one by one. But looking at the whole picture, the Singapore team is not too difficult an opponent for Quang Hai and his teammates. If we encounter difficulties in the first leg, we will focus on doing it again in the second leg. The real mountain ahead is still the familiar mountain of Thailand, because looking at the way they lost 0-2 away to Singapore but did not play hastily or lose their spirit, and then with their class, they won with a convincing score of 2-4 as many people know.

It is difficult and very difficult against Thailand, but remember that in the last 4 matches with 4 starting lineups, Mr. Kim Sang-sik has not yet revealed all his plans and military strength as mentioned above? That means there are still secret cards, ultimate weapons, who knows, which could be the unrivaled strength of the Vietnam Team against regional opponents at this ASEAN Cup?
