VOV.VN - The Vietnamese national team held a one-hour training session in the Chang Arena on June 3, in preparation for their opening clash against host-nation Thailand in the King’s Cup 2019 which is scheduled to take place on June 5.

 |
| The training session gave the Vietnamese footballers a chance to get acquainted with the ground where the opening tie of the King’s Cup 2019 between Vietnam and Thailand will take place. |
 |
| Footballers started the practice with some light exercises under Mr. Park’s instructions. |
 |
| He paid close attention to Cong Phuong (R) during the warm-up exercises. |
 |
| The head coach also interacted with Trong Hoang (L) during the opening moments of the session. |
 |
| With the weather in Buriram so hot, currently 35 degree Celsius, the players seemed tired after doing some light exercises. |
 |
| Despite suffering from a light injury, footballer Nguyen Quang Hai took part in the practice. |
 |
| Newcomer to the squad Tuan Anh (C) is expected to bring a fresh style of play to the Vietnamese national team. |
 |
| During the M150 Cup back in 2017, Cong Phuong scored two goals and led Vietnam to a 2-1 triumph over Thailand. |
 |
| The opening fixture against the host nation will take place at 7:45pm (Vietnam time) on June 5. |
