Itinerary in Vientiane: rest first, load later
Immediately after settling in, the players will have the entire day off on November 15 to recover their physical condition. According to the plan, the first training session will take place on the afternoon of November 16, opening a 3-day continuous preparation period before entering the official competition.
One day before the team left for Laos, team leader Doan Anh Tuan had a preliminary meeting with the Lao Football Federation about the schedule, logistics and conditions for the team during their stay, training and competition in Vientiane. The whole team maintained high determination, aiming to win all 3 points to maintain the opportunity to compete for a place in the 2027 Asian Cup Finals.
First leg highlight: 5-0 win in Binh Duong
In the first leg at Binh Duong Stadium in March 2025, coach Kim Sang Sik and his team won 5-0. The goals were scored by Ngoc Quang, Hai Long, Quang Hai and a double by Van Vi. The big score helped the Vietnamese team create positive psychological momentum before returning to Vientiane for the second leg.
Analysis corner: one day of "release" to optimize 3 days of sprint
The decision to give the entire team a break until November 15 shows that the priority is to recover after traveling, helping the players regain their energy and rhythm before the load is put on. From November 16, the training schedule will start early to ensure enough time to complete the pieces for the return leg, in the context of the goal being 3 points.
The team leader's advance planning helps minimize the risks outside of the professional field: transportation, grounds, and activity schedules. These logistical details are the foundation for the next 3 days of professional work to be most effective.
Atmosphere and fan presence
The image of young fans appearing to ask for autographs from the players shows their on-the-spot interest in the team. It is a source of energy before the short but important sprint stage.
