As the best player of the AFF Cup 2018, Quang Hai is of course the biggest hope of Vietnamese fans. This 24-year-old player has scored 3 goals for the Vietnamese team in the 2022 World Cup Asian qualifiers, this midfielder number 19 is in stable form and is in the group of players of the team with the highest scores.
Quang Hai is a player with speed, personal technique and the ability to make breakthroughs with high variability. Therefore, in addition to playing on the wing, when needed, Coach Park can bring Hai "son" to play as a central midfielder to perform the role of creator. With a rather skillful left foot, he also has a long shot from a distance of 22-25m and many times the ball has a quite spiral trajectory before finding the opponent's net. Unlike the opponents in the 2022 World Cup Asian qualifiers, facing the defense of teams of equal strength in the region, Quang Hai's ability to score is much higher. Vietnamese fans are expecting Nguyen Quang Hai and his teammates to play excellently to help the Vietnam team successfully defend the championship of Southeast Asian football.
After Anh Duc left the national team, Nguyen Tien Linh is the number 1 choice in the attack of coach Park Hang-seo. Striker Tien Linh is a modern striker, rarely dribbles and is ready to score when the conditions permit. The player of B. Binh Duong has scored 2 goals in the last 6 matches and 7 goals throughout the 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign. Returning to the AFF Cup arena, striker No. 22 of the Vietnam national team is highly appreciated for his chance to shine with his familiar aerial battles.
With a height of 1.80m, this striker always promotes his physical strength, with a playing style that combines pressing, dribbling and the ability to play with his head..When needed, Tien Linh can also pass the ball to Van Duc, Cong Phuong, Van Toan or pass the ball back to Quang Hai, Hoang Duc to shoot from afar. Fans are waiting for the team's number 1 striker to score regularly, surpassing the 4 goals that his senior Anh Duc scored at the AFF Cup 2018.
New element of the team

Without Hung Dung, Coach Park Hang-seo's most valuable discovery in 2021 is Nguyen Hoang Duc. The 23-year-old player from Viettel has left a strong impression in the past matches in the final qualifiers of the 2022 World Cup. Hoang Duc created 8 scoring opportunities, 1 assist and had a passing accuracy rate of over 92%. In 2 out of 6 matches in the final qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup, this midfielder was rated the highest on the Vietnamese team.
Midfielder Hoang Duc and Tuan Anh form the perfect central midfield pair of the Korean strategist in both 3-4-3 and 3-5-2 tactical formations. The player born in 1998 will play higher, playing the role of organizer, building the playing style for the Vietnam national team, in which Tuan Anh will be responsible for escaping pressing. Just by improving his ability to play high balls, the boy from Hai Duong promises to continue to explode in the upcoming AFF Cup tournament. Hoang Duc has a bright future at Viettel and the Vietnam national team with a playing style full of technical qualities. Southeast Asian opponents do not know much about this midfielder, which is an advantage for coach Park and the team's coaching staff.
Coach Park not only has Quang Hai, Hoang Duc, Tien Linh, when he needs speed, he also has Van Toan, while SLNA midfielder Van Duc is the bridge between defense and attack. The first match with Laos is an opportunity for the Vietnamese players to adjust their aim.
