In addition to Ngan Van Dai, the Korean coach tested Pham Duc Huy for the right-back position to replace Trong Hoang in training sessions to prepare for the 2019 Asian Cup.
In the friendly match against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea at My Dinh Stadium, Pham Duc Huy was sent on to play right-back in the last 20 minutes and played quite well. The midfielder from Hai Duong is a very versatile player and has played very well as a right-back in many matches at the youth level of Vietnamese football and Hanoi Club, so he can completely replace Trong Hoang when necessary.
