List of Vietnam National Team: Surprising and unfair?

Looking at the list that the Korean strategist announced on March 10, domestic fans could not help but be surprised. Besides the regrettable absences, there were some new factors. If put on the scale, many experts and fans felt it was unfair for the players that Mr. Park "abandoned". Simply put, at the present time, their performance is quite impressive and deserves to beCoach Park Hang-seogive a chance

The first case is defender Pham Xuan Manh. In the first 3 matches of V.League 2022, Manh "Kalou" played very well. In particular, in the match against Hoang Anh Gia Lai in the last round, the player born in 1996 played very well. Not only completing the task of a left wing-back, Pham Xuan Manh also scored the opening goal after an aerial battle, helping Song Lam Nghe An defeat Hoang Anh Gia Lai with a score of 2 - 0.

Sharing the same fate with Pham Xuan Manh is his teammate at Song Lam Nghe An, Nguyen Van Hoang. To be fair, the position of the Nghe An team on the V.League 2022 rankings (3rd) is largely due to the goalkeeper from Tan Ky. If it weren't for Nguyen Van Hoang's brilliant reflexes, the Vinh team would hardly have won all 6 points against B.Binh Duong and Hoang Anh Gia Lai. However, coach Park Hang-seo summoned Bui Tan Truong, a goalkeeper who has not played a single match in this year's V.League.

Similar to Pham Xuan Manh and Nguyen Van Hoang is the case of Ho Khac Ngoc of Viettel. Perhaps up to now, most of the country's football fans still do not understand why Mr. Park did not give more opportunities to the "conductor" of Viettel, one of the most excellent central midfielders of Vietnamese football in recent times. His excellent performances in the colors of Song Lam Nghe An and Viettel are clear proof. Unfortunately, in the eyes of coach Park Hang-seo, Luong Xuan Truong is always rated higher than Ho Khac Ngoc.

Of course, as the "leader", Coach Park Hang-seo has the right to choose the faces that he feels are most suitable for the plan of the Vietnam National Team, specifically in the upcoming 2 matches with the Oman National Team (March 24) and the Japan National Team (March 29), in the 3rd qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup in Asia. Hopefully, Pham Xuan Manh, Nguyen Van Hoang and Ho Khac Ngoc will be able to serve the Vietnam National Team again in the near future./.
