Some controversial names under coach Troussier will likely not be called back to the Vietnamese team by Mr. Kim Sang-sik.
According to plan, at 2:00 p.m. on May 27, coach Kim Sang-sik will announce the list of members of the Vietnamese team in June 2024.
The list about to be announced by the Korean military leader will have about 30 names.
Not long ago, some sources also revealed a few names appearing on this list.
Veteran faces such as: Dang Van Lam, Nguyen Filip, Van Toan, Tien Linh, Tuan Hai, Hoang Duc, Quang Hai or Que Ngoc Hai are still chosen by coach Kim Sang-sik.
While goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung and midfielder Tran Dinh Trong are playing impressively in the V-League, they are not named.
Notably, coach Troussier’s “favorite” players such as Phan Tuan Tai, Vo Minh Trong or Dinh Bac are said to not be on the list this time for many different reasons.
Since signing a contract with VFF, coach Kim Sang-sik has been very active in attending V-League matches to recruit troops for the Vietnamese team.
The Kim strategist is said to have “marked” many new players for the national team.
It is expected that coach Kim Sang-sik and his team will gather from June 1 at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center.
Here, the red shirt team will have about 6 days to practice before entering the match with the Philippines on June 6.
Notably, the competition with the Philippines at My Dinh Stadium was also coach Kim’s debut match for the Vietnamese team.
