Before the important match with Indonesia at AFF Cup 2024, Quang Hai affirmed: “The Vietnamese team is well prepared and we will work together towards the best results for the match against Indonesia.”

The last time the Vietnamese team faced Indonesia was at the end of March 2024, at My Dinh Stadium, in the match of the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in Asia. At that time, Quang Hai was not given the opportunity to play, and Coach Troussier’s team suffered a 0-3 defeat to the team from ten thousand islands.

Quang Hai is the main player?

Quang Hai was once the brightest star of Vietnamese football. When he was only 21 years old, he made a great contribution to helping the Vietnamese team win the AFF Cup (2018) after 10 long years of waiting. In this year’s tournament, the midfielder playing for the Hanoi Police Club is expected to recreate what he did 6 years ago.

In the opening match against Laos on December 9, Quang Hai sat on the bench and was put on the field in the 60th minute (replacing Doan Ngoc Tan). Not long after entering the field, the 27-year-old midfielder left his mark with a delicate assist for Nguyen Van Toan to score, raising the score to 3-0 for the Vietnamese team.

Coming to the important match against Indonesia in the third match of Group B, Quang Hai is expected to be a key factor in the Vietnamese team, and can cause mutations to help coach Kim Sang’s team. sik won all 3 points. It is not an exaggeration to say that Quang Hai is the type of player who can determine the outcome of a match. According to commentator Ngo Quang Tung, the starting lineup of the Vietnamese team when facing Indonesia is likely to have some changes compared to the match against Laos: “The change may come from the forward position.” Central guard. Depending on which tactical scheme coach Kim Sang-sik uses, 3-4-3 or 3-5-2, there will be different personnel options.”

Also according to commentator Quang Tung, Quang Hai will likely be an important link of the Vietnamese team when competing against Indonesia. “Playing against Indonesia is more difficult than playing against Laos, so the force also needs to be better. If the Vietnamese team plays with a 3-5-2 formation, Quang Hai will play highest in the midfield. 3-4-3, many people think that the combination of Quang Hai and Hoang Duc is the best at the moment,” Mr. Tung analyzed.
