Vietnam vs Cambodia lineup: Revealed striker to replace Xuan Son

The most notable detail in the Vietnamese team’s lineup in the match against Cambodia is that Nguyen Tien Linh is on the bench. The current Vietnamese Golden Ball winner is not the replacement for Nguyen Xuan Son (long-term absentee) in this match but Pham Tuan Hai.

In goal, Nguyen Dinh Trieu continues to be the main goalkeeper when his health is guaranteed. He has returned to training in the past few days and is ready to compete. Tran Trung Kien and Nguyen Van Viet are waiting for their chance in the next round. Trinh Xuan Hoang is not registered.

In front of Dinh Trieu is still the trio of central defenders Bui Tien Dung (left), Nguyen Thanh Chung (center) and Do Duy Manh (right). When the Vietnamese team enters the match with an attacking mindset, the full-backs also need to provide good support for the midfielders and strikers. Van Thanh is chosen on the right wing.

Nguyen Quang Hai started from the beginning.

As predicted by experts, Trieu Viet Hung played for the first time as a starter for the Vietnam national team. He is a new choice on the left wing. The Hai Phong FC player has performed outstandingly in the V.League thanks to his tactical thinking and individual skills.

In the midfield, Doan Ngoc Tan and Nguyen Hoang Duc are the "perfect" pair for the Vietnam team. The midfielder of Thanh Hoa Club plays the role of defense, recovering the ball. The task of organizing the attack and building the play belongs to Nguyen Hoang Duc.

Up front, Pham Tuan Hai will start as the target striker. Hai Long and Quang Hai will play on the wings and support the star of Hanoi FC.

The Vietnamese team entered the first match after winning the AFF Cup 2024 championship. Although bringing many naturalized players, Cambodia is still not a strong enough opponent to make it difficult for the Vietnamese team.

Vietnam's goal is to win, the match takes place at 7:30 pm on March 19.

Vietnam team's starting lineup: Nguyen Dinh Trieu, Bui Tien Dung, Do Duy Manh, Nguyen Thanh Chung, Trieu Viet Hung, Doan Ngoc Tan, Nguyen Hoang Duc, Vu Van Thanh, Nguyen Quang Hai, Pham Tuan Hai, Nguyen Hai Long.
