CLB has 5 players starting for the Vietnamese national team in the match against Bangladesh.

The starting lineup of the Vietnamese national team against Bangladesh drew attention as many players from CLB Hanoi started from the beginning.

Coach Kim Sang Sik announced the starting lineup of the Vietnamese national team for the friendly match against Bangladesh at 19:00 on March 26 at Hang Day Stadium (Hanoi). The personnel decision by the Korean coach quickly attracted attention, especially as many expected faces were not included from the start.

Contrary to predictions that both naturalized players would start together, Coach Kim Sang Sik only used one name. Do Hoang Hen was trusted to start, while Nguyen Xuan Son had to sit on the bench. Notably, the starting lineup of the Vietnamese national team featured 5 players from CLB Hanoi participating from the beginning — a highlight that attracted the attention of national team fans.

Specifically, in the attacking line, the three forwards are all familiar faces from CLB Hanoi, including Do Hoang Hen on the left wing, Pham Tuan Hai as the highest forward, and Hai Long on the right wing. This combination promises synergy due to their long period of playing together at the club level.

In defense, two names from CLB Hanoi, Do Duy Manh and Xuan Manh, also appear in the trio of central defenders, alongside newcomer Ngoc Bao. The use of many players from the same club indicates Coach Kim Sang Sik prioritizes mutual understanding in gameplay, rather than experimenting with too many new factors in this match.

In goal, Dang Van Lam was chosen to start instead of Nguyen Filip, despite the dual Vietnamese-Czech goalkeeper being in good form. On the two wing lanes, Nguyen Van Vi and Truong Tien Anh were given opportunities, while the midfield remains the familiar duo of Hoang Duc and Quang Hai.

Some notable names like Doan Van Hau or Tran Dinh Trong only started from the bench after a long period of returning to the national team. This decision further highlights Coach Kim Sang Sik's approach, as he places great trust in the group of CLB Hanoi players, hoping to create cohesion and effectiveness ahead of the match against Malaysia.
