Pre-match information
After a few days of training in Korea, the Vietnamese team entered the first friendly match against Ulsan Citizen - a club that just ranked 12th in K.League 3. This is considered a suitable opponent for the Vietnamese team to prepare after high-intensity training sessions. Coach Yun Kyun-sang and his team have a professional level that is not too superior to Tuan Hai and his teammates.
The Vietnamese team is not in the best condition for a friendly match. In recent days, coach Kim Sang-sik has increased the intensity of training for the players. Many players are showing signs of fatigue due to having just competed in the V.League and the long travel distance. However, they are forced to overcome the physical "threshold" to be ready for the ASEAN Cup 2024.
The Vietnam team has 3 practice matches in Korea.
Most likely, this is the time for coach Kim Sang-sik to create conditions for the pillars to play interspersed with the new players. In the midfield, Doan Ngoc Tan deserves a chance to try his hand. The midfielder born in 1994 is an important "sweeper" of Thanh Hoa Club. He needs to show a similar role and help Hoang Duc have more balls and space to organize attacks.
When Dinh Bac is injured, Quoc Viet will play as a left winger. Van Khang can be tested in the right attacking midfielder role. In addition, Tien Linh rests and Tuan Hai has the opportunity to show his ability.
Meanwhile, Ulsan Citizen is not a top team in K.League 3, this team only has a few quality stars. Koo Jong-uk became a pillar with 10 goals and 3 assists last season. More importantly, he often plays as a left winger rather than a target striker. Therefore, Van Thanh or Xuan Manh may have to face constant danger.
In the midfield, Kim Dong-hyun plays an important role. He has a strong physical foundation, is not afraid of collisions and supports the attack well. The striker duo Kim Hun-ok and Kim Ji Hyeon mainly play football based on strength. That will be a physical test for the Vietnamese central defenders.
