On the afternoon of March 25, the Vietnam national team completed their final training session at Hang Day Stadium before entering the official match against the Bangladesh national team.
This is also the venue for the upcoming match, so the training session holds significant importance in helping the players familiarize themselves with the pitch and finalize their last preparations.
As usual, before starting the professional drills, Coach Kim Sang Sik and the coaching staff members had a brief discussion with the entire team. The content mainly focused on reminding the players about the competitive spirit, concentration, and tactical requirements for the upcoming match.
Good news for the coaching staff is that the Vietnam national team had a full squad in this training session, with no unfortunate injuries recorded. This allows Coach Kim Sang Sik to have multiple lineup options and creates positive competition among positions.
In the final training session, the Korean strategist particularly emphasized aerial drills. The players practiced heading skills in both attacking and defensive situations, preparing for aerial ball scenarios against Bangladesh - a team known for having a good physical foundation and not avoiding physical contact.
During this training camp, the Vietnam national team witnessed the participation of many new faces such as Hoang Hen, Van Hau, and Dinh Trong. Their return and addition not only bring more depth to the squad but also provide the coaching staff with more diverse choices in implementing their playing style.
Meanwhile, in the goalkeeper position, Coach Kim Sang Sik is experiencing a "pleasant headache" as all three names - Filip Nguyen, Dang Van Lam, and Trung Kien - have shown stable form recently. The competition for the starting goalkeeper spot promises to help the team maintain solidity in defense.
With thorough preparation in both tactics and personnel, the Vietnam national team is approaching the match against Bangladesh with the highest determination, hoping to deliver a favorable result for the fans.
