In this training session, the Vietnam team had enough players for coach Kim Sang Sik to assemble the team and practice tactics to prepare for the "test of fire" match with a Cambodian team with many naturalized players. Photo: Hai Hoang

In addition, the ability to switch from defense to attack is also one of the points that this coach prioritizes. Photo: Hai Hoang

Besides training tactics, coach Kim Sang-sik also spends time evaluating each player's performance to choose the best lineup. Photo: Hai Hoang

According to plan, on March 19, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team will have a friendly match with Cambodia within the framework of FIFA Days. Photo: Hai Hoang
