Coach Park Hang Seo and the cards up his sleeve
The starting lineup for the matches at the AFC U23 Championship that Coach Park Hang Seo wants will still be HAGL and the rest. But, the Korean coach certainly still has a plan 2, if he encounters difficulties.
Coach Park's calculation
Up until now, apart from goalkeeper Ngoc Tuan, who has played the least, the rest of the U23 Vietnam squad that was called up, until going to China, coach Park Hang Seo has given them all a "test run" for as long as possible.
It is not difficult to realize the intentions and goals of the Korean coach, because up to now, coach Park Hang Seo has only worked with the players for more than 1 month.

| Coach Park Hang Seo is so far successful with his calculations. |
Even though the captain of U23 Vietnam may have been recommended, may have witnessed with his own eyes or through video recordings, media or assistants to know how his students are, the most obvious way to trust them is to put them on the field to... be sure.
And after many screenings on both football skills, tactical thinking and physical strength, the captain of U23 Vietnam has almost the final list for the campaign to go out to sea with the home team.
Coach Park's calculation is clearly simple, but effective so that now U23 Vietnam is ready for the Asian finals.
...to the cards up his sleeve
A few days before entering the first match against U23 Korea, Coach Park Hang Seo’s team still has many things to adjust. But, surely the captain of U23 Vietnam has made calculations about personnel, especially in the “luxury” reserve positions.
This is the result of calculations, from the "trial by fire" sessions during the recent training session of the Korean coach to prepare for the worst case scenario of injury or the number 1 player not being in good form.

| Duc Chinh is one of those successes. |
One of those players is none other than striker Ha Duc Chinh, as this striker has begun to adapt well to the playing style that coach Park has set for U23 Vietnam at the present time with 2 goals in the last 2 matches.
Not only Ha Duc Chinh, at this time U23 Vietnam also has a few other names capable of "turning the situation around", instead of letting coach Park Hang Seo only rely on Cong Phuong, Quang Hai or Xuan Truong as many people think.
Typical examples are Van Duc and Xuan Manh - the two players who were called up the latest but are showing quick integration, progress and proving their ability with the playing style that coach Park Hang Seo desires.
With the abundance of talent in the U23 Vietnam roster at the moment, Coach Park Hang Seo can completely surprise his opponents with his trump cards – which are not as well known to his opponents as the names mentioned above.
U23 Vietnam will impress with the beautiful, soulful playing style of the generation Cong Phuong and Xuan Truong, but I'm afraid that to get good results, we have to wait for the trump cards that Coach Park has. Just wait and see!
