Xuan Manh said the Vietnamese team aims to win against Laos.

The Vietnamese national team is entering the final stretch of the Asian Cup 2027 qualifying match against Laos with a clear objective: 3 points. Defender Pham Xuan Manh affirmed that the team has stabilized physically and mentally after the training camp, ready for the away match on November 19th.

The pace of the game was adjusted, and spirits gradually rose.

In the early days of training after the V.League ended, about half of the squad had to do recovery training right at the hotel. According to Xuan Manh, the training volume in the following days was adjusted appropriately, helping the whole team quickly adapt to the tactical training plan set by the coaching staff. As their physical fitness improved, the training atmosphere also became more positive.

Xuan Manh said during the training session on the afternoon of November 12th: "Up to now, everyone's health is stable. No one has any serious problems and the whole team's morale is very high."

Almost all forces are assembled, with the effect from Xuan Son.

Currently, the Vietnamese national team is only missing two players: goalkeeper Dang Van Lam and midfielder Nguyen Hai Long. While waiting for the final pieces, the arrival of naturalized striker Xuan Son brings a fresh energy to the locker room. Xuan Manh commented: "Xuan Son always brings a cheerful feeling to the whole team. He's always smiling and spreading enthusiasm to everyone."

Tactical perspective: aligning with the lesson plan, prioritizing foundational knowledge.

A notable aspect of this training camp is how the Vietnamese national team transitioned from recovery to accumulation, adhering closely to the planned training schedule. The daily distribution of training volume allows players to both refresh their fitness after the season and maintain a rhythm to absorb tactical requirements. For an away match, a stable physical condition and a relaxed mindset, as demonstrated by Xuan Manh, are crucial for confidence.

Xuan Son's presence also has psychological value. A positive attitude often boosts intensity and focus during training sessions, supporting the process of adhering to the training plan implemented by the coaching staff.

Schedule and goals before November 19th

Coach Kim Sang Sik and his team have two more training sessions in Phu Tho before traveling to Laos. At the end of the exchange, the Hanoi FC player emphasized their shared determination: "The Vietnamese national team aims to win and bring three points home."

Selective statistics

With stable physical condition, positive spirit, and clear goals, the Vietnamese national team is aiming for a favorable result against Laos in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.
