On the evening of December 18, the Vietnamese team ended the fourth round of Group B AFF Cup 2024 with a 1-1 draw at Rizal Memorial Stadium in the Philippines. On the evening of December 19, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team will move to the airport to return home. It is expected that “Golden Star Warriors” will be present at Noi Bai Airport (Hanoi) at 1:40 a.m. on December 20. After that, the whole team moved to Phu Tho to prepare for the confrontation with Myanmar in the final round of the group stage. This match will take place at 8:00 p.m. on December 21.
Continuous movement also makes players sluggish and takes longer to recover
That means that after the match against the Philippines team, the Vietnamese team only has 3 days to prepare for the match against the Myanmar team, including travel time. The semi-finals will also take place not long after, on December 26 and 29 respectively (for the pair Second in Group A – First in Group B, the position of the Vietnamese team is likely to be won).
Therefore, the players lose a lot of energy. This is also the reason why coach Kim had to constantly rotate the squad in past matches in the 2024 AFF Cup. This caused the Vietnamese team to not have the most impressive performances. Hopefully coach Kim Sang-sik’s calculations will have a stronger effect in the semi-finals and finals to help the Vietnamese team return to the throne of Southeast Asia.
