Vietnam Team: It's not difficult to tear Malaysia's net...

Vietnam team may score against Malaysia at Bukit Jalill Stadium on June 10, but to preserve the result is not an easy task for coach Kim Sang Sik.

Breaking Malaysia's net is not difficult

Vietnam will not have its strongest attacking force for the match against Malaysia in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers at Bukit Jallil Stadium on June 10.

However, coach Kim Sang Sik still has strikers with very high scoring instincts such as Tuan Hai, Tien Linh or can rely on finishing from the second line with many "false strikers" who are in brilliant form in the V-League.

Vietnam team has many chances to score against Malaysia

We can mention Hai Long, Khuat Van Khang, Ngoc Quang - midfielders who are in the top scorers list, while Quang Hai and Hoang Duc continue to maintain their danger with their moves outside the 16m50 box.

Besides, set pieces are also a powerful weapon that the Vietnamese team possesses so that coach Kim Sang Sik can think about penetrating the Malaysian net.

Not to mention, Syihan Hazmi, the goalkeeper that Malaysia can use in the match against Vietnam, is not really classy or excellent in finishing from outside the 16m50 box.

But...

Vietnam scored in 14/15 official matches under coach Kim Sang Sik, which is an impressive figure. However, on the other hand, the defense only kept a clean sheet 4 times, which is a problem.

Not to mention the strong teams, letting Laos or Cambodia score is clearly worth paying attention to with situations where individuals in the defense make mistakes.

But defense is the problem.

Furthermore, the defensive system that coach Kim Sang Sik built for his team is not as solid as under his predecessor Park Hang Seo. Therefore, that problem puts the Vietnamese team in a worrying position when facing Malaysia, which has just naturalized many names that are considered quite high quality.

Coach Kim Sang Sik can trust his attack to shake the Malaysian net. But to win all three points and open the door to the 2027 Asian Cup, the Korean captain needs to find a solution to the defense problem - the real Achilles heel of the Vietnamese team.
