So, if he continues to play the old way, Mr. Park will have to find a player with abundant physical strength who can both support defense and attack effectively. Xuan Truong is not highly regarded for his defensive ability. Huy Hung is only specialized in blocking, and Duc Huy is not in good form.

Many sources confirmed that in the upcoming training session, Mr. Park will fill in Van Vu's name. It is not impossible that the Korean coach will try Vu "chicken" in the position left by Hung Dung.
