Vietnam team rests to recover, Coach Park directly instructs U22 training
(Baonghean.vn) - Because the Vietnamese national team players had a full day off to recover, head coach Park Hang-seo went directly to the field to direct the training session of the U22 Vietnam team on the afternoon of August 13.
Previously, Coach Park Hang-seo assigned Assistant Kim Han-yoon to coordinate with members of the coaching staff to implement training plans for the Vietnam U22 team. This is also a familiar task for Assistant Kim Han-yoon recently, when the Vietnam National Team and the Vietnam U22 Team gathered at the same time to prepare for international tournaments. Goalkeeper Coach Kim Hyun-tae, after completing the required medical quarantine (the same vacation as Coach Park Hang-seo and Doctor Cho Ju Young), has also returned to work for the Vietnam U22 Team.

In addition, the SHB Da Nang duo, defender Lieu Quang Vinh and midfielder Le Van Do, have also joined the U22 Vietnam team. However, due to traveling from another locality to Hanoi, these two players are self-isolating in their rooms and will participate in training after completing medical examination requirements to ensure safety against the Covid-19 epidemic.

In an interview before the training session, midfielder Nguyen Trong Long said he felt very happy and excited to be part of this training session to prepare for the U23 Asian Qualifiers. Because domestic tournaments are temporarily suspended due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, Trong Long has been working hard to improve his physical strength in order to be in good shape when joining the team.“In the past time, I have not been able to practice on the field and mainly practice at home, so I have lost my sense of the ball and lost my ability to compete,”Trong Long shared.
As a player who has experienced many difficulties in his career, but with determination, will and perseverance, Trong Long has overcome challenges to affirm his ability on the field and was called up by coach Park Hang-seo to the Vietnam U22 team. Trong Long said that the motivation that helped him stand firm in the face of difficulties was the great encouragement from his family and friends.
This midfielder, who has a fierce playing style and is always present at hot spots in the midfield, is also confident that he will complete the tasks set by the coaching staff, even when not playing in his favorite position.
