Facing UAE Olympics: Van Hau returns, Coach Park Hang Seo worries about Dinh Trong

The absence of Van Hau from Vietnam Olympic team in the match against Korea was a huge loss. The player who replaced him, Xuan Manh, played only averagely in that match. Not to mention that Xuan Manh does not have the ability to support the attack as well as Van Hau.

Dinh Trong's injury makes coach Park Hang Seo worried.

With Van Hau, Coach Park Hang Seo will have a lot less burden in attacking from the left wing. Moreover, the ability to shoot from afar of this Thai Binh native has also helped the Vietnam Olympic team to score many goals in deadlocked matches.

Good news from Van Hau, but Dinh Trong has a problem with muscle strain. During the training session this morning, Coach Park Hang Seo asked the doctor to carefully check the health of the Hanoi FC midfielder. In case Dinh Trong cannot play, many of Coach Park Hang Seo's plans will have to change, and that is something he does not want at all.

Previously, Dinh Trong had to sit out the match, and only returned in the matches against Syria and South Korea. This central defender, along with Duy Manh and Tien Dung, became a trio of defenders who played very solidly and understood each other.

According to the announcement of the Organizing Committee of the 2018 Asian Games men's football, the bronze medal match between Vietnam Olympic and UAE Olympic will take place at 3:00 p.m. on September 1 at Pakansari Stadium. After 90 minutes, if the match ends in a draw, the two teams will enter a penalty shootout and will not play extra time.
