Vietnam national team lineup for Cambodia match, chance for Van Quyet?
(Baonghean.vn) - Although the match with Cambodia is still important, coach Park Hang-seo will likely make adjustments to Vietnam's starting lineup for various reasons.
Goalkeeper Dang Van Lam will still appear in the Vietnamese goal from the beginning. The performances of “foreign” Lam in the 3 matches against Laos, Malaysia and Myanmar are the basis to ensure him an “untouchable” position in the team at this time. Therefore, there is no reason for Mr. Park to put Dang Van Lam on the bench to make room for Nguyen Tuan Manh or Bui Tien Dung.

On the contrary, in defense, coach Park Hang-seo will most likely make adjustments to ensure safety for Vietnam's next journey at the AFF Cup 2018. With Que Ngoc Hai and Doan Van Hau receiving a yellow card, the Korean strategist will have to carefully consider whether to let these two players play in the match against Cambodia or not.
Just one more yellow card and they will not be present in the first leg of the semi-finals. The importance of Que Ngoc Hai and Doan Van Hau is beyond question.
Against a not-so-strong opponent like Cambodia, Coach Park Hang-seo will accept keeping both Que Ngoc Hai and Doan Van Hau on the bench. Replacing SLNA's central defender is Bui Tien Dung (Viettel), and filling Doan Van Hau's position is Nguyen Phong Hong Duy or Pham Duc Huy (Nguyen Phong Hong Duy is the more feasible option).
Thus, Vietnam's defense will be Tran Dinh Trong - Do Duy Manh - Bui Tien Dung (center back), 2 full backs are Nguyen Trong Hoang - Nguyen Phong Hong Duy.
Most likely, there will also be changes in the attack. Nguyen Quang Hai is performing well, so he will still be in the starting lineup, while Luong Xuan Truong will be given a rest to make way for Do Hung Dung.
In the match against Myanmar, HAGL's midfielder played quite disappointingly, but his replacement, Do Hung Dung, played quite well. It seems that Vietnam's central midfield pair in the match against Cambodia will be Do Hung Dung - Nguyen Quang Hai.

The top 3 players in Vietnam's attack will still have some changes in the upcoming match. Phan Van Duc and Nguyen Cong Phuong will most likely be given a rest, after quite successful matches.
Nguyen Anh Duc will be retained to play alongside his two teammates, Nguyen Van Toan and Nguyen Van Quyet. Because in the match against Myanmar, Nguyen Van Toan proved his ability by helping the Vietnamese attack become sharper. In the case of Nguyen Van Quyet, Mr. Park will give the Hanoi FC player a chance to find himself again./.
