Why did Kim Sang-sik only take a short-term leave?
Different from 2024, focusing on the national team with the AFF Cup campaign, in 2025, coach Kim Sang-Sik will have different tasks, with the national teams (Asian Cup qualifiers 2027) and the team. National U.23 Recruitment (qualifying U.23 Asian Prize 2026, SEA Games 33). Therefore, the selection of coach Kim Sang-Sik’s player at this time will be wider, he needs more players to achieve different goals.
Mr. Kim cherished many plans
There will be more young talents like Bui Vi Hao will be discovered by coach Kim Sang-Sik from the grass in the water?
That is probably also the reason why coach Kim Sang-Sik proactively shortens his holidays after the AFF Cup 2024, returning to Vietnam early (Mr. Kim returned to Korea to leave on 10.1, soon returned to Vietnam January 17), closely monitor matches within the framework of national tournaments.
Unlike the national team level, at the U.23 level, not all players are famous. There are faces of this age are quite anonymous, even many people in the 23-year-old play in the first division, not playing in the V-League. Therefore, the coaches must follow the development of domestic football to fully discover all the potential talents like this. The fact that Kim Sang-Sik’s early present in Vietnam shows that Mr. Kim does not want to leave any talent of domestic football.
That will open up great opportunities for young players, opening up opportunities for those who are still unknown, so that they can wear teams this year. Fans must have not forgotten the case of midfielder Doan Ngoc Tan, or left -back Nguyen Van Vi at the AFF Cup 2024.
Van Vi (3) used to be called by coach Kim Sang-Sik to the Vietnamese team from anonymous place
Before coach Kim Sang-Sik appeared, there were not many neutral audiences, apart from the audience who loved Thanh Hoa teams (where Doan Ngoc Tan was playing) and Nam Dinh (where Nguyen Van Vi was joining. About the aforementioned players. In Thanh Hoa, Thai Son was more famous than Ngoc Tan in the same central midfielder position. In Nam Dinh, Van Vi is not as prominent as other border defenders like Nguyen Phong Hong Duy and To Van Vu. However, coach Kim Sang-Sik still discovered the potential of these players from anonymous place, before lifting them into the star of the Vietnamese team.
The same case can occur with goalkeeper Cao Van Binh (SLNA), midfielder Nguyen Phi Hoang (SHB Da Nang), Nguyen Duc Viet (Ninh Binh), striker Nguyen Quoc Viet (Ninh Binh). Temporarily, they are not as prominent as goalkeeper Nguyen Trung Kien (HAGL), midfielder Nguyen Van Truong (Hanoi FC), or striker Nguyen Dinh Bac (Hanoi Police Club) is playing in the same position, considering in the group The players can play for the U.23 Vietnam team to attend the 33rd SEA Games 2025 and the U.23 Asian qualifier 2026. However, maybe from the perspective of coach Kim Sang-Sik, he will have a viewpoint other.
The same thing can come to any player playing on the pitch in the water, the people whom the majority of fans still have not remembered the name, but if they are discovered by coach Kim Sang-Sik, maybe maybe, maybe Mr. Kim will raise them to a new level. The talent of a profession is in that the military leader is capable of detecting “rough gem” that ordinary people cannot see!
