Father of national team player Trong Hoang: 'Vietnam national team will beat Indonesia but it won't be easy'
(Baonghean.vn) - Through an interview with Nghe An Newspaper reporter, Mr. Nguyen Trong Huong (father of national team player Trong Hoang) shared about his son as well as his teammates and his comments about the opponent Indonesia in tomorrow's match (October 15).
In the recent match against Malaysia at My Dinh Stadium, Trong Hoang’s father was also present in the stands to cheer for his son and his teammates. Witnessing the performance of the Vietnam national team against Malaysia, Mr. Nguyen Trong Huong shared:
“It was a match where coach Park Hang-seo studied his opponent very carefully and often quickly made changes in tactics to turn the game around. Malaysia is strong in the ability to attack the wings, so the arrangement of a 5-man defense to cover each other tightly limited the attacking power of the away team.
Another interesting change that coach Park Hang-seo instructed his players to do against set pieces is to let physical players like Ngoc Hai, Van Hau or Duy Manh mark the opponent and players with strong speed and judgment like Trong Hoang, Tuan Anh, Hung Dung cover behind. Something I have never seen before."

Commenting on the opponent Indonesia in the match in the third round of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, Mr. Huong said: "Although having gone through 3 defeats, Indonesia's attack is still dangerous. The first thing is that the Vietnam team must defend firmly, then the chance of winning will be higher. With their self-respect, and at the same time against a fateful opponent like the Vietnam team, Indonesia will play with determination and cause many difficulties for the team of coach Park Hang-seo."
Regarding the match result, Trong Hoang's father predicted a score of 2-1 with the victory leaning towards the Vietnamese team and the goal scorer could be any player because under coach Park Hang-seo, the ball is rarely given to a specific goalscorer.

For example, he always trusts Cong Phuong in the attack line even though his scoring efficiency is not high, because the Nghe An striker has the ability to attract opposing players to create space for his teammates. Trong Hoang or any player can take advantage of the opportunity, but with the task of defending the wing, Mr. Huong thinks that his son's ability to score is not high, but he hopes that he can have at least one assist.
It is known that, to prepare to watch the match between Vietnam and Indonesia tomorrow night, Trong Hoang's father happily shared that he will go fishing and bring it to the house of former player Cong Vinh's father to watch and cheer for his son and his teammates to win.
It is known that in the match against Thailand at home on November 13, he will most likely continue to be present at My Dinh to be a spiritual support for Trong Hoang from the stands.
