Coach Park's great ambition!
While the Vietnamese football community is happy with the achievements that Coach Park Hang-seo has brought, the Korean coach himself is very modest, admitting that he has only won the championship once and desires more.
Mr. Park was very happy with the championship with the Vietnamese team at the AFF Cup 2018. As for other matches in the U-23 Asian finals with the runner-up position, the semi-finals of the 18th Asian Games or the quarter-finals of the 2019 Asian Cup, the Korean coach still has many regrets because he has not reached his peak.

Coach Park: 'U23 runner-up Vietnam is not yet a strong team in Asia'
The draw ceremony for the 2020 AFC U23 Championship Finals will be held on the afternoon of September 26 in Bangkok, Thailand.
Before the draw, Coach Park Hang-seo remained modest. He shared with Sports Seoul: “Vietnam was the runner-up in the last tournament but is still not a strong team in Asia. Compared to Korea, the strength of the Vietnamese team is clearly lower. Mr. Kim Hak-bum (Coach of U23 Korea - PV) said that the prospect would be very interesting, but I do not want to meet Korea at all.”
