Expert Nguyen Thanh Vinh: 'Quang Hai deserves to be captain'
(Baonghean.vn) - Midfielder Quang Hai has been assigned by coach Park Hang-seo to take on the role of captain of U23 Vietnam in the 2020 U23 Asia qualifiers.
Mr. Park's decision has made many experts and fans feel quite surprised. Although he is the most talented and experienced player in U23 Vietnam at present, but according to the assessment of a part of public opinion, Quang Hai is not the type of player who shows outstanding leadership qualities like Que Ngoc Hai or Luong Xuan Truong.

That will help the relationship between the coaching staff and the players, and between the players themselves, to be better. Even with his reputation, Quang Hai will help our team receive more sympathy from the referee team. Whatever is said, referees still have more sympathy for players who are both good at their skills and have good manners.

Thus, Quang Hai is the 4th captain under coach Park Hang-seo, after Luong Xuan Truong, Nguyen Van Quyet and Que Ngoc Hai.
Hopefully, the Hanoi player will play his role as captain well, contributing to helping U23 Vietnam reap success in the coming time./.
