Veteran football expert talks about coach Park Hang Seo and coach Huu Thang

(Baonghean.vn) - Following the 10 working days of the new head coach of the national team, Mr. Park Hang Seo, expert Vu Manh Hai was impressed with the professional style of the Korean strategist.

Regarding the match tonight (November 14) against Afghanistan, football expert Vu Manh Hai commented: “I am very confident that the Vietnam team will win. In the 10 days since starting work, Mr. Park Hang Seo has worked very actively. He has attended almost every match. The important thing is how our players play and how the tactical system operates!

Mr. Park Hang Seo has a basis to speak confidently before the match. Afghanistan is not a strong team, just look at their lineup. We don't need to worry too much about our opponents. Mr. Park's statement is also a way to motivate the players."

During the training camp to prepare for the Asian Cup qualifiers, Coach Park Hang Seo surprised everyone by dropping many veteran players from the national team and calling up new players. This reflects some of the issues and unique characteristics of the Korean coach.

“Looking at the list of national team players this time, Coach Park Hang Seo also partly shows his own working style and professionalism. Mr. Park calls based on analysis of players and what he witnessed after studying the list proposed by his assistants.

Coach Park Hang Seo called up new players such as Minh Vuong, Van Thuan, goalkeeper Pham Van Cuong... all of whom are in very good form. And it is clear that the Vietnam national team has a change. Normally, domestic coaches will keep the players that impress them.

Discovering new factors is a good thing, but the disadvantage is that the time to observe them is too short. Because evaluating whether a player is good or not is a whole process, not just through a few matches. This is something that Vietnamese coaches see more clearly than Mr. Park" - Expert Vu Manh Hai analyzed.

In addition, expert Vu Manh Hai also expressed concern about the language barrier between coach Park Hang Seo and the national team players. Young players like Vu Ngoc Thinh still do not understand the coach's tactics. Because in principle, all players must clearly understand the intentions of the commander.

It is too early to judge Coach Park Hang Seo and his predecessor, Coach Nguyen Huu Thang. However, expert Vu Manh Hai said: “When he was the head coach of the national team, Huu Thang did everything well. The only thing he could not do was convince players like Anh Duc to join the national team at a time when the national team really needed such players.

Obviously, the long time without Anh Duc's service in the national team is a pity. The fault does not lie with Anh Duc but with those who work directly with him. Like coach Mai Duc Chung, he is loved by the players so whoever he invites will be invited. Of course, each coach has a way of doing things based on their own personality.

I think Anh Duc joining the national team at this time is very necessary. I really like coaches with personality like coach Huu Thang and in Europe, coach Antonio Conte. As for coach Park Hang Seo, time and the performance of the Vietnamese national team will tell everything. Let's wait and see" - Expert Vu Manh Hai concluded./.
