What are the chances for Nguyen Trong Hoang in the match against Malaysia?
(Baonghean.vn) - The player from Nghe An has completed his suspension and can play from the start in the match between Vietnam and Malaysia, taking place tomorrow evening (June 11).
The return of Hoang "cow" will help coach Park Hang-seo have more options in terms of personnel as well as tactics for the match against Malaysia in the 7th match of Group G of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Asia. However, Nguyen Trong Hoang's ability to start is still a question mark.
Over the past time, under the leadership ofCoach Park Hang-seo, the familiar position of the player born in 1989 is right-back. At the AFF Cup 2018, Asian Cup 2019, SEA Games 2019 (in the U22 Vietnam jersey) and 5 matches in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Asia, Nguyen Trong Hoang all completed the assigned tasks excellently.

Most likely, with his habit, the Korean strategist will not change the lineup just because of the return of a certain player. Therefore, the right wing position of Vietnam in the match against Malaysia will still belong to Vu Van Thanh. So,Nguyen Trong HoangWill he sit on the bench or be "rotated" to another position?

In fact, while playing for SLNA, B.Binh Duong and Thanh Hoa, Hoang "cow" was often arranged by the coaches to play in the central midfield position. The advantages in Nguyen Trong Hoang's playing style are that he is strong, determined and not afraid of collisions. In addition, the 32-year-old player also possesses powerful long-range shots with relatively high accuracy.
Expert Doan Minh Xuong said: "With a good opponent in the middle of the field, we should arrange a pair of powerful central midfielders to suffocate. The choice of Nguyen Trong Hoang is correct." Surely, Mr. Park is also thinking the same thing./.
