The 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers are a big challenge for the Vietnamese team because after the resounding success at the 2024 AFF Cup, opponents have known quite well the playing style that Mr. Kim Sang-sik applies. Therefore, Kim Sang-sik needs to rebuild a stronger and more diverse team in terms of tactics and personnel. Changing personnel will help him create healthy competition within the team, while testing new tactical options.

In the first match of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers, the Vietnamese team will host the Lao team on March 25 at Binh Duong Stadium. This is not a "scary" opponent, but the Vietnamese team cannot be complacent. In the first match of the 2024 AFF Cup group stage, Mr. Kim Sang-sik's students defeated the host team Laos with a score of 4-1 with goals from Hai Long, Tien Linh, Van Toan, and Van Vi. In this rematch, the away team will certainly find every way to overcome the strengths of the Vietnamese team, aiming for better results than what they experienced at the Southeast Asian championship. Of course, Mr. Kim will also maintain the goal of repeating the victory, creating momentum for the Vietnamese team, before entering the second match against Malaysia in June 2025.
Xuan Son will not be on the list of players in the Vietnam national team's March training session.
It is expected that the Vietnamese team will gather in mid-March to prepare for this important match. There will be some changes in the squad during this training session. Players with unstable performance or who do not meet tactical requirements will not be on the list. Striker Nguyen Xuan Son will certainly not be on the list, because at that time, he is in the second cycle of injury recovery. Mr. Kim will have to choose new faces for the attack because in addition to Xuan Son, Van Toan is also injured. Maybe by March, Toan will not be able to reach his best form.
The Vietnamese team will have innovation in playing style to avoid being predicted.
Coach Kim Sang-sik is known for his ability to build a clear and highly disciplined style of play. In the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers, he will apply a more flexible strategy, combining solid defense with sharp attack. The personnel change is not only to improve the quality of the team but also to help him experiment with new tactical schemes.
Coach Kim Sang-sik's ability to create a breakthrough is a factor worth waiting for. After a period of getting acquainted with the Vietnamese team, he has a better understanding of the players and how they operate in international matches. This understanding will help him make reasonable changes in personnel and tactics, creating a strong team, ready to face the challenges in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.
