With the practice match, this is an opportunity for Coach Park to evaluate the players, test new attacking and defensive strategies as well as identify some potential faces. Out of a total of 32 players that can be used (Hoang Thinh and Xuan Truong are injured), Coach Park will have to say goodbye to 9 names before the match with Malaysia begins.
Vietnam team vs Malaysia, playing offensively is a... luxury!
It is not easy for the Vietnamese team to play offensively in a situation where the "key" to scoring goals against the opponent is Quang Hai, who only has a few days to recover his fitness and has just returned to training with his teammates after returning from the AFC Cup.

| Vietnam team has many attacking stars... |
Cong Phuong has not yet had an answer about his performance; new faces like Mac Hong Quan, Minh Tuan or "strange bird" Viet Phong also seem unable to carry the expectations from Mr. Park, so wanting the Vietnamese team to play offensively at the present time is probably impossible.
