The shocking 1-1 draw in the Philippines caused the Vietnamese team’s plan to soon take the top spot in Group B (7 points) to be affected. The fact that Myanmar and Indonesia both have 4 points makes the final match more attractive and unpredictable. Coach Kim Sang-sik and his team could be eliminated if they lose to Myanmar by 2 goals and at the same time Indonesia wins against the Philippines in the match at the same time. Mr. Kim will have to deploy the strongest team to ensure victory, avoiding any possible mistakes like at Rizal Memorial Stadium (Philippines) a few days ago.

This potentially risky situation accidentally became a stage worth waiting for for the debut of Nguyen Xuan Son – a Brazilian-born striker who received a lot of expectations to help increase the firepower of the Vietnamese team’s attack. It will be a great start if Xuan Son scores a goal, helping the Vietnamese team win against rival Myanmar.

In the pre-match press conference, coach Myo Hlaing Win of Myanmar rated Vietnam as the strongest team in the 2024 AFF Cup. But the away team is certainly determined to surprise and seek victory while still holding in their hands. right to self-determination.

The plan of Tien Linh and Xuan Son playing together is being targeted by coach Kim Sang-sik to create a powerful attack for the home team. At that time, the Vietnamese team will have their third consecutive match playing with the 3-5-2 formation, but for the first time with the two best center forwards instead of previously ineffective options.

Wait for the all-out attack

For the first time since the beginning of the 2024 AFF Cup, coach Kim Sang-sik strongly announced that the Vietnamese team will participate in the final. This shows that the Korean coach is very confident in the force and spirit of the players he is leading. In fact, if they play properly, the Vietnamese team will not have difficulty defeating the opponent who has lost 2 and drawn 1 in the last 3 meetings at the AFF Cup arena.

At Viet Tri’s home field, the Vietnamese team will proactively attack with all their might from the beginning to find a goal in the first half. Quang Hai and Hoang Duc will be the creative source to bring the ball into the penalty area for the Tien Linh duo. – Xuan Son scored. The important thing is how Tien Linh and Xuan Son will play so as not to step on each other’s toes. If Tien Linh is placed highest in attack, then Xuan Son may be placed behind him to move to attract the opponent’s defenders, or rush forward to score when given the opportunity. In addition, it is possible that coach Kim Sang-sik only chooses Tien Linh or Xuan Son to start. In case of deadlock, he will deploy these two players at the same time to hunt for goals for the Vietnamese team.

On both sides, Van Vi – Tan Tai have the ability to participate in the attack very well, and will likely be chosen by coach Kim Sang-sik to increase the strength of the attack.

The most worrying thing for Mr. Kim is which trio of central defenders he will choose to help the Vietnamese defense stay strong and block Myanmar’s forward moves.

In fact, after the first 3 matches, Thanh Chung, Duy Manh, Viet Anh, Tien Dung, Thanh Binh all performed well, however at some times, the Vietnamese midfielders still did not cover well, so coach Kim Sang- sik needs to have the most reasonable plan. Luckily for the Vietnamese team, because this match Myanmar will be without captain Maung Maung Lwin, who has their best attacking ability.

Whenever the defense plays firmly, blocking the opponent’s attacks, Vietnam can use all its attack power to find a goal. The important thing is that Tien Linh, Xuan Son and other attackers must make good use of the opportunities they have and not waste them like in previous matches. As long as there is a goal soon, Vietnam will easily switch to a defensive counter-attack position, waiting for Myanmar to make a mistake and then launch a “recovery” attack to increase the gap.
