Good news for the Vietnam team

A SERIES OF IMPORTANT RETURNS

In the big match against Hai Phong Club, Coach Le Duc Tuan of Hanoi Club sent Duy Manh into the field in the second half, marking the return of the experienced central defender after many rounds of absence due to overload. That was the match in which the capital team used a series of Vietnamese players such as Hung Dung, Hai Long, Xuan Manh, Tuan Hai, Van Truong, Van Tung... This was good news for the Vietnamese team because the above players all had a certain role in the tactical calculations of Coach Kim Sang-sik. In particular, Duy Manh's return to play was a very important boost for the defense that had been facing a serious crisis of losing players. At the same time, the fact that captain Que Ngoc Hai played very well for Binh Duong Club also helped Mr. Kim ease many worries, when he had previously unexpectedly missed two consecutive matches in the National Cup and V-League.

Up to now, center back Thanh Chung of Hanoi FC (also of the Vietnam national team) has not been able to play because coach Le Duc Tuan wants him to completely recover from his heel injury before returning from round 8. Phan Tuan Tai may also return to play for The Cong Viettel after round 7. At Nam Dinh FC, Hong Duy has also played since round 6. This means that rounds 8 and 9 will mark the first time after many weeks of waiting that many elements of the Vietnam national team's defense will be able to play, before the V-League takes a break to make way for the FIFA Days.

Coach K IM S ANG -S IK HAS MORE CHOICES

At the announcement ceremony of the 2024 Vietnam Golden Ball election, Vice President of the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) Tran Anh Tu praised the performance of striker Nguyen Tien Linh and reaffirmed the goal of the Vietnamese team at the AFF Cup 2024 to repeat the achievement of reaching the final like 2 years ago. To do this, in addition to a solid defense, the scoring efficiency of the strikers is extremely important. The number 1 striker of the Vietnamese team has scored 19 goals in 2024, and is showing brilliant form with 7 goals after 7 rounds of the V-League 2024-2025. This is a promising start before he and the Vietnamese team gather on November 20, go to Korea for training and open the AFF Cup 2024 with an away match in Laos on December 9.

Binh Duong FC's attack line consisting of all domestic players is helping coach Kim Sang-sik have more interesting options. 23-year-old young talent Vo Hoang Minh Khoa deserves to be given a chance in the Vietnam national team. Bui Vi Hao is also playing better and better, currently the name in the 2003 generation with the most influence at the club.

In addition, Mr. Kim can also be satisfied when players such as Ngoc Quang, Minh Vuong (HAGL); Thanh Binh (The Cong Viettel ); Thanh Long, Quang Hai, Van Duc (Hanoi Police team); Hai Long (Hanoi team) ... all continue to show stable performance in the recent V-League rounds. In round 7, it is impossible not to mention Khuat Van Khang when he scored the 2nd goal for The Cong Viettel in this year's V-League, or Thai Son is increasingly maturing in the role of the midfield nucleus of the top team Thanh Hoa.

It would also be remiss not to praise the players who have played very well in the first division. The determination in the three-way race for 1.5 promotion spots in this tournament is helping stars like Hoang Duc, Cong Phuong, Van Lam, Thanh Binh… continue to play well and maintain high performance.
