Coach Park is worried about the goalkeeper
Coach Park Hang Seo's worries about the goalkeeper position in the Vietnam national team seem to never end, especially when number 1 goalkeeper Dang Van Lam faces the possibility of being absent from the AFF Cup 2020.
Everything seemed to be going well for the Korean strategist when V-League returned after the Covid-19 pandemic, but the performance of the goalkeepers who were regularly called up to the Vietnamese national team in the past year is confusing Coach Park.
At Go Dau Stadium, goalkeeper Van Toan had to pick the ball out of the net 5 times. In addition to the mistakes of the defense, the potential goalkeeper who was expected by Coach Park Hang Seo after his excellent performance at SEA Games 30 also made a very serious and silly mistake in one of the goals conceded by his team.

When a series of Vietnamese national team goalkeepers such as Van Toan and Tuan Manh made mistakes in round 4 of V-League |
If Tuan Manh "vomited the ball" amateurishly and helped Quang Nam score, then on the other side of the field, Van Cuong was "more miserable" with 6 goals conceded, including at least 2-3 situations where this goalkeeper made mistakes or handled the situation slowly.
In addition, the person that coach Park Hang Seo expects, Fillip Nguyen, is still unclear whether he can be naturalized in time for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers or the 2020 AFF Cup.
SHB Da Nang won big, coach Le Huynh Duc "relieved a thousand-pound burden"

The resounding 6-1 victory over QNK Quang Nam helped coach Le Huynh Duc somewhat reduce the "thousand-pound pressure" that he and his students are having to bear. |
The foreign trio of Jelic I, Tanda and Akinade had a great match when they all scored goals. SHB Da Nang's victory over QNK Quang Nam in the 4th round of V.League 2020 was likened to "a drought meeting a shower".
This victory helps Da Nang players feel more confident in the upcoming matches and also helps coach Le Huynh Duc keep his head coach position.
