Coach Nguyen Thanh Vinh: 'Mr. Park must have a reason for eliminating Van Quyet'

List of surprises

Coach Park Hang-seo always surprises with his personnel decisions. This time, the Korean coach continued to not include Van Quyet in the list of Vietnam national team. Instead, Coach Park called up a series of other players to try their hand such as To Van Vu, Dang Anh Tuan, Vo Huy Toan, A Hoang, Mac Hong Quan...

Initial comments on the list of Vietnam national team this time, coach Nguyen Thanh Vinh shared: "Of course, the right to choose players is Coach Park Hang-seo's, but there are a few faces in the team this time that surprised many people. In my opinion, there are a few cases that are injured or not playing in the main team for the club such as Nguyen Huy Hung, Ha Minh Tuan.

With only 10 days to prepare, form is the most important factor. When they join the national team, even if they recover, their form or fitness level will not be the best."

The continued absence of striker Van Quyet also surprised the former head coach of the Vietnam national team and SLNA: “I feel quite sorry for Van Quyet, he is the captain, is in good form for Hanoi FC, won the V.League. At the AFC Cup 2019, he also played well and scored a goal. In terms of expertise, he deserves it.

However, for some reason, Coach Park did not call Van Quyet. Maybe because he wanted the Vietnam team to have high unity and let Que Ngoc Hai wear the captain's armband with peace of mind. Or maybe because Van Quyet's age is not suitable."

Besides, coach Nguyen Thanh Vinh also pointed out a few faces who are in good form but are unfortunately absent this time such as midfielder Khac Ngoc of SLNA, Thanh Trung of Quang Nam...

Happy but worried

Facing teams with strong physical strength and not afraid of collision like Malaysia and Indonesia, Coach Park has called back the defensive midfielder with good fighting ability like Ngo Hoang Thinh. The player is also in good form for Ho Chi Minh City Club.

Coach Nguyen Thanh Vinh said: “I am very happy that Hoang Thinh has returned to the national team, he is very deserving. But one issue that Hoang Thinh and the players from SLNA still need to pay attention to is that fierceness and brutality are two different factors. I really like players with a playing style like Trong Hoang and Hoang Thinh, but they need to be alert when playing, it is very easy to get injured when competing too fiercely, maybe even getting a card.”

“Having Hoang Thinh on the national team is a great thing. But if he gets to play, he must keep a cool head. And the important thing is whether a new player under coach Park like Hoang Thinh can bond with the Hanoi players in the national team or not. Currently, Hanoi FC players can play short passes, long passes, one-touch or touch, Hoang Thinh must be able to adapt to this,” said coach Nguyen Thanh Vinh.

With a preliminary list of 32 players, Coach Park will have to eliminate 9 people to finalize 23 players, officially preparing for the matches against Malaysia and Indonesia taking place on October 10 and October 15 respectively.
