Threats to Vietnam in Singapore’s squad ahead of ASEAN Cup semifinals

The creative engine behind Singapore’s quick counters is Kyoga Nakamura28, a naturalized Japanese midfielder (number 7). Nakamura, who became a Singaporean citizen in October, brings a level of technical ability and composure that sets him apart from older, defensive-minded midfielders like Shahdan Sulaiman and Hariss Harun.

Nakamura’s vision and ability to distribute the ball quickly make him crucial to Singapore’s attack. In addition to Nakamura, Singapore can also use long passes from goalkeeper Izwan Mahbud and defender Muhammad Baharudin.
