Saying goodbye to Hai Phong, Van Lam gives opportunities to both Vu Hai and Bui Tien Dung
(Baonghean.vn) - The event of Van Lam submitting a request to terminate his contract with Hai Phong is attracting great attention from the media and Vietnamese football fans. If Van Lam leaves, it will be an opportunity for goalkeeper Phan Dinh Vu Hai and Bui Tien Dung.
Phan Dinh Vu Hai will seize the opportunity
The goalkeeper from Ha Tinh province had a successful season with SLNA. He was loaned to the Nghe An team for 1 year after the crisis in the “goalkeeper” position.
However, from an unknown goalkeeper, Vu Hai took the opportunity and shone unexpectedly. He gained the trust of coach Duc Thang with a convincing performance. It can be said that Vu Hai is one of the biggest bright spots of the Vinh home team in 2018.
Therefore, Van Lam's decision to leave Hai Phong will not make things difficult for the team from the port city. Coach Truong Viet Hoang's team is completely confident with Phan Dinh Vu Hai after a year of successful "training" in Nghe An.

The goalkeeper, born in 1998, grew up in Hai Phong, and was in the first team 2 years ago but due to a small mistake, he lost his chance. His weakness is probably his lack of experience in the field, so in the 2019 season, Hai Phong's Board of Directors will not take risks and will almost certainly give the opportunity to Vu Hai, a person who has had a whole year of fighting in the highest arena in Vietnam.
Lost his place in the national team
After the 2019 Asian Cup, the Vietnam National Team will enter a long break, handing over the responsibility to the U22 and U23 teams.
Vietnamese football in 2019 will give way to young teams, especially the U22 Southeast Asian Games starting in February and the 2019 SEA Games taking place at the end of the year.
Van Lam will not be able to participate in both of those most important arenas because he is too old. The person who will almost certainly be given the opportunity will be Bui Tien Dung. If Tien Dung can show good skills and improve his skills, he will most likely take the starting position in the national team from Van Lam.

Remember in 2016, Japanese clubs also made it difficult for the Vietnam national team when they did not want Cong Phuong and Tuan Anh to return to perform national duties. The reason they gave was that the matches and tournaments that the Vietnam national team participated in were not in the FIFA competition system.
Recently, Thailand also did not have the services of its biggest stars at the AFF Cup 2018 for the same reason.
Of course, opportunities will come to Bui Tien Dung and Tuan Manh. In particular, Tien Dung has a bigger opportunity thanks to 1 year of continuous competition from U22 Southeast Asia to SEA Games 2019.
It is normal for a player to want to change his playing environment in professional football. However, for a Vietnamese national team player, playing abroad is not much. In fact, they are not keen on going abroad for subjective and objective reasons. Among them, losing the opportunity to play for the national team is the most obvious reason.
