In the first two training matches of the Vietnam team, the group of young players rarely played. Among them, Nguyen Thai Son was one of the players who only sat on the bench in both matches against Ulsan Citizen and Daegu FC.
It is not difficult to understand that coach Kim Sang-sik has not used all the players he brought to Korea this time. Basically, using 30 players in a training match is not an easy task. The Korean coach wants to give all the players a chance to try out, but each personnel plan also needs a certain amount of playing time to be verified.
In the final match against Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, it is expected that the unused group of players will play. In fact, coach Kim Sang-sik has grasped the abilities of the students he has called up. The only thing that needs to be evaluated is the ability to combine into a team.

The Vietnamese team is in good shape. No players are injured and new players have integrated well, such as Doan Ngoc Tan. The player born in 1994 has shown impressive integration ability despite never having played for the national team, even at the youth level.
The attack is where there is fierce competition between players. It is likely that after the Vietnam team returns home, coach Kim Sang-sik can call up two additional strikers, Nguyen Van Toan and Nguyen Xuan Son. Of these, Xuan Son has successfully naturalized and is only waiting for the Southeast Asian Football Federation to confirm his eligibility to play. He is even considered the main striker of the Vietnam team.
At this time, only Pham Tuan Hai and Nguyen Tien Linh are somewhat "sure" thanks to their high performance and bravery shown in major tournaments. Thanh Binh and Quoc Viet. Dinh Bac must compete to be able to attend the AFF Cup 2024.
The Vietnamese team has one more friendly match against Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors (December 1). After that, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team will return home and announce the list of 26 players before going to Laos to play the opening match of the AFF Cup 2024.
