Viet Nam's football team has returned to Nha Trang to begin its final preparations for the Southeast Asia football Championship, AFF Suzuki Cup 2012.

The team would focus on tactics and adjust the intensity of training to help players come good when they play their Group A matches in Bangkok, said coach Phan Thanh Hung.

Viet Nam will face Myanmar in the opening game on November 24 at the Rajamangala Stadium. They will take on the Philippines a day later and face host team Thailand in the last Group A match on November 30.

Midfielders Nguyen Minh Duc and Le Tan Tai and striker Le Cong Vinh are still following a special training regime because of injuries.

The team will have a practice game against V-League club Khanh Hoa on Thursday before the shortlist of 22 players for the final squad is drawn up.

Hung has said that he had found the right formation for the team to deploy at the AFF Suzuki Cup.-VNS
