Bui Tien Dung and Dang Van Lam compete for the starting position in the Vietnam national team.

On the afternoon of March 19, Coach Park Hang-seo worked with the national team department to make a preliminary list for the away match against Jordan in the final round of the 2019 Asian Cup qualifiers.

After an excellent performance, contributing greatly to helping U23 Vietnam make a miracle, winning the Asian silver medal, Tien Dung was chosen by Thanh Hoa to start in the V-League. In the opening match, the goalkeeper born in 1996 played impressively, kept a clean sheet and also had a pass to assist Dinh Tung to score the only goal to help the home team defeat Ho Chi Minh City Club of Acting President Le Cong Vinh. Present in the stands, Coach Park Hang-seo was very pleased with his favorite student and immediately put his name on the list of players to be called up to the national team.

However, Tien Dung is not sure to start in the match against Jordan, when Dang Van Lam has also been called up. Although Hai Phong has only got one point after two matches (lost 0-1 to Hanoi, tied 1-1 with HAGL), the Vietnamese-American goalkeeper has received a lot of praise for a series of miraculous saves.

Coach Park Hang-seo will bring 23 players to Jordan. However, he has not yet finalized the list, as he is still monitoring the players in round 3 of V-League 2018.

Vietnam currently has 9 points in Group C, certainly has a ticket to the final round of Asian Cup 2019. The match with Jordan (11 points) on March 27 will only decide the top position in the group.

Coach Park Hang-seo's preliminary list includes many members of the U23 Vietnam team who achieved success in China, such as Cong Phuong, Xuan Truong, Quang Hai, Van Duc... In addition, he also called up veterans such as captain Van Quyet, center back Ngoc Hai, and midfielder Thanh Trung.

The Vietnamese team will gather in Hanoi on March 23. One day later, the team will travel to Jordan to get used to the weather and prepare for the match./.
