Striker Nguyen Dinh Bac: Striving to get playing time.
Striker Nguyen Dinh Bac has shown high determination if given the opportunity in the upcoming match between the Vietnam National Team and the India National Team.
In an interview before the Vietnamese national team's training session on the afternoon of October 8th, Dinh Bac stated that he has regained his best physical condition and is not experiencing any difficulties at this time.
The striker from Nghe An, who made a strong impression in the match against Japan at the 2023 Asian Cup finals, also showed great determination and confidence when given the opportunity to play for the Vietnamese national team this time. “I have adapted to the playing position in Coach Kim's training plan. I will try my best to train well to participate in the upcoming matches,” Dinh Bac said.
According to Dinh Bac, when he joined the national team training camp, head coach Kim Sang-sik said that all players have equal opportunities, from experienced players to young players. Everyone should try their best in training to earn trust and contribute their best to the team.
However, the reality still presents many challenges for Dinh Bac, especially considering that the national team's attack not only boasts seasoned players like Van Quyet, Tien Linh, and Van Toan, but also includes rising young strikers like Bui Vi Hao...
However, Dinh Bac believes he doesn't feel pressured to compete for a position. "Every time I join the national team training camp, I always strive to be in good form so that I can be trusted and have the opportunity to play on the field."
Returning to the team's training session this afternoon, coach Kim Sang-sik continued to dedicate most of the time to tactical drills.
Tomorrow afternoon (October 9th), the South Korean coach will conduct a more thorough assessment of the team's performance and the players' form in a test match against Nam Dinh Steel Club. On the morning of October 11th, the Vietnamese national team will travel to Nam Dinh and have a training session to familiarize themselves with Thien Truong Stadium that afternoon.
The match between Vietnam and India will take place at 6:00 PM on October 12th at Thien Truong Stadium.
