AFF Cup: Two problems of the Vietnamese team

The framework of the Vietnamese team is revealed

Although goalkeeper Nguyen Dinh Trieu also has 2 appearances like Nguyen Filip, it is not difficult to confirm that the goalkeeper of the Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) is sure to start in the upcoming important matches of the Vietnamese team. Male. Dinh Trieu can only play in matches against weak opponents such as Laos and Myanmar.

Above, the trio of central defenders are also almost “locked out”. Nguyen Thanh Chung plays the central defender, Bui Tien Dung plays left and the right position belongs to Pham Xuan Manh or Do Duy Manh. In tense matches, facing opponents rich in speed and strength, coach Kim Sang-sik prioritizes Xuan Manh.

In the center circle, coach Kim Sang-sik uses the most 3 midfielders including Doan Ngoc Tan, Nguyen Quang Hai and Nguyen Hoang Duc. As for the attack, the “trident” of the Vietnamese team is likely to be Nguyen Xuan Son, Nguyen Tien Linh and Bui Vi Hao.

Two problems remain

Coach Kim Sang-sik has not yet found the optimal wings for the Vietnamese team. On the right side, he mainly uses Truong Tien Anh, Ho Tan Tai and sometimes Vu Van Thanh. On the opposite wing, the playing time of Nguyen Van Vi and Khuat Van Khang is relatively equal.

Commentator Quang Tung shared: “In this AFF Cup, the quality of the Vietnamese team’s side attack is not really good. This is probably the biggest problem of coach Kim Sang-sik and his team, up to now. At this point, Van Vi and Tien Anh’s cross and cross points are relatively far from the goal. Van Vi often crosses the ball early, while Tien Anh often lets the ball drift to the bottom of the line before crossing of crosses is not good comes from the fact that our coordination situations at the border do not have a good rhythm.

The full-backs need to penetrate deeper inside before making decisive passes. Only then will the strikers have a chance to finish. Van Khang is a player who can do this, but the quality of his decision-making phases is not as good as what is shown at Viettel Sports Club.”

According to commentator Quang Tung, in the upcoming semi-final first leg, the pair of full-backs who will start from the start will be Tien Anh – Van Vi. One of the tasks of this duo will be to actively work to destroy the opponent’s strength. If the attack is not good, coach Kim Sang-sik will adjust in the second half, sending Tan Tai and Van Khang onto the field.

Commentator Quang Tung pointed out another problem: “Another problem for coach Kim Sang-sik is where to place Quang Hai. This midfielder is very dangerous when playing near the penalty area, as evidenced by the two goals. Win against Indonesia and Myanmar. However, he is often placed in central midfield and is not able to utilize his full strength. Most likely, if the Vietnamese team is deadlocked in the first half, Quang Hai will be pushed up in the second half”.
