The Vietnamese team still saves their best moves for the Indonesian match

Hide your cards and reduce personnel in the match against the Laos team

Because Laos is a much weaker opponent than the Vietnamese team, coach Kim Sang-sik’s team has not used its strongest squad, in the 4-1 win over this opponent 3 days ago. Everything can change in the match between the Vietnamese team and Indonesia on December 15. Indonesia is the main opponent of coach Kim Sang-sik’s army in Group B, so we will fight them with our strength and strongest attacks.

First, the two wings of the Vietnamese team against Indonesia may change compared to the starting lineup against the Laos team. Left back Khuat Van Khang and right back Truong Tien Anh lost significant points in their opening match due to ineffective play. The way coach Kim Sang-sik replaced personnel in the second half on both wings in the match against Laos also partly revealed the fact that Nguyen Van Vi and Ho Tan Tai are likely to take charge of the two flanks of the Vietnamese team against Indonesia. replacing the positions of Khuat Van Khang and Truong Tien Anh.

Better personnel can open up better quality combinations for the Vietnamese team. In the match against Laos, coach Kim Sang-sik’s team had almost no overlap in wing attacks. The team mainly passes long when changing direction of attack. This may come from the team wanting to hide their cards, or it may also come from the fact that the full-backs in the match against Laos were not very good, so they were ineffective when performing overlapping situations.

With Ho Tan Tai and Nguyen Van Vi, things may be different. Overlap when attacking is the strength of these two players. In particular, Ho Tan Tai is very compatible with striker Nguyen Tien Linh, because the two have played together for a long time both in the club shirt and at the team level (U.23, national team). When Ho Tai Tai joined the attack on the right wing, he passed the ball many times for Tien Linh to score in previous years. That may appear in the match against Indonesia.

The stars are still “hidden”

Also in the match against Laos, Quang Hai entered the field very late. The player playing for the Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) only appeared for more than 30 minutes at the end of the match. Without Quang Hai on the field, the Vietnamese team’s ability to exploit fixed situations is also reduced, because Quang Hai is one of the best free kick players in Vietnamese football today.

Before Indonesia, it is likely that Quang Hai will be used more. At that time, the Vietnamese team’s free kicks will be more dangerous. In addition to direct free kicks into the opponent’s goal, Quang Hai’s passes from fixed situations inside for his teammates to exploit are also waiting. The Vietnamese team at the moment has quite a few good high-ball players such as Tien Linh, Vi Hao, Viet Anh, Thanh Chung, Bui Tien Dung… So if they receive good high-ball passes in set situations , they will create heading situations that endanger the opponent’s goal.

In addition, there is another character who has not revealed all his dangers in the match a few days ago, that is midfielder Nguyen Hoang Duc. This player played quite low in the match against the Laos team. He rarely approached the penalty area of ​​the team from the Land of Million Elephants, but stood back to silently support his teammates. This may be a tactical request from coach Kim Sang-sik for Hoang Duc.

In the case of the Vietnamese team being deadlocked against Indonesia, coach Kim Sang-sik can change, pushing Hoang Duc higher, playing closer to the opponent’s penalty area and close to the home team’s strikers. At that time, Mr. Kim’s team will likely have another spearhead attack, an individual good at causing mutations, Hoang Duc.
