The Vietnamese team practices controlling the ball
On the afternoon of December 28, at Viet Tri Stadium, the Vietnamese team had their first and only training session after returning home. At the beginning of the session, after gentle warm-up exercises, coach Kim Sang-sik let his students practice controlling the ball. He personally observed and edited.
It is no coincidence that coach Kim Sang-sik asked his students to practice this movement carefully. From the beginning of the tournament, the Vietnamese team regularly attacked with long passes through the snow. One of the effective plays was when Bui Tien Dung assisted Hai Long to score the opening goal against Laos. It is likely that the Vietnamese team will continue to deploy this attack in the semi-final second leg against Singapore.
Fans waited all night in the cold to buy semi-final tickets for the second leg of Vietnam – Singapore
The training session was filled with laughter, the Vietnamese team was almost at full strength
After winning 2-0 in the semi-final first leg, the Vietnamese team appeared extremely comfortable. The training session took place in a fun and exciting atmosphere. Smiles are always on the lips of Vietnamese players. Coach Kim Sang-sik could not hide the joy on his face.
Quite interestingly, the electronic board of Viet Tri Stadium shows the image of Xuan Son scoring a goal, with a bright smile. Hopefully in the semi-finals, Xuan Son will be as radiant with the goals that brought Vietnam to the finals.
During the afternoon practice session on December 28, Bui Hoang Viet Anh practiced again with his teammates. In this tournament, he did not have many opportunities to contribute to the Vietnamese team because he has not fully recovered from his knee injury. Midfielder Bui Tien Dung also trains normally and is very strong. In the semi-final first leg, he left the field after the first 45 minutes despite playing very well and this made many fans worried.
Currently, the Vietnamese team almost has the strongest squad. Coach Kim Sang-sik only did not have the services of Van Toan, who suffered a knee ligament injury after the 5-0 win against Myanmar. This is a serious injury, so the striker of Nam Dinh Club officially said goodbye to AFF Cup 2024.
