Vietnam Team: After Mr. Kim Sang Sik's 'draft'

Coach Kim Sang Sik completed the first two "drafts" with the Vietnamese team and is starting the next steps for the team's renewal and development plan..

The result of 1 win, 1 loss was within the previous prediction in the second round of World Cup qualifiers, so all evaluations focused more on spirit than expertise. In this aspect, the new captain of the Vietnam team did better than his predecessor Troussier.

However, after finishing the first two drafts, coach Kim Sang Sik will begin to implement the renewal plan and bring the Vietnamese team back to victory at the ASEAN Cup taking place at the end of this year.

It should also be mentioned that in the first training session, the list announced by experts was not chosen by coach Kim Sang Sik, so when the V-League is not too stable, it is likely that the Korean coach will have to reuse the old personnel instead of being renewed as desired by experts.

Anyway, worrying about coach Kim Sang Sik at this time cannot change too many things, so hopefully the next 5 months the new Korean captain will help the Vietnamese team better than the drafts just done.

Details of the enhanced measures have not been released, but UEFA has confirmed that pitch invaders will be expelled from the stadium, banned from all matches and face criminal charges.
