Coach Park Hang-seo admits making mistakes that caused Vietnam to lose narrowly to China

The Korean strategist admitted his mistake when he made hasty substitutions that caused the Vietnamese team to lose 2-3 to the Chinese team.

Speaking at a press conference after the match between China and Vietnam in the third qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup in Asia, coach Park Hang-seo admitted that his hasty substitution of defenders caused his team to lose to their opponent.

The Korean strategist said: “The Vietnamese team lost 2-3 to China, especially losing a goal in extra time. As we know, the team played well today, not giving up even though they were 2 goals behind. However, we also feel a bit regretful. Maybe, I changed the defender position too quickly. That was my fault.”

In the 71st minute,Coach Park Hang-seobrought defender Ho Tan Tai and center back Nguyen Thanh Binh onto the field. If Tan Tai left his mark with the goal that narrowed the gap to 1-2, Thanh Binh was at fault for 2 of the 3 goals conceded by the Vietnam team.

Therefore, when asked about the reason for the substitution, Coach Park Hang-seo said: “A player’s mistake is the fault and responsibility of the coach and the person using the player. I cannot share anything at this time. Players have to make mistakes to mature. I say again, a player’s mistake is the fault of the coach who makes the substitution.”

According to the schedule, on October 12, Vietnam will play its fourth match against Oman. After three consecutive defeats, Vietnam needs to score against Oman to maintain its chances of competing for third place in Group B.

21 U22 players leave for UAE

On October 7, the coaching board of the Vietnam U22 team finalized the list of 21 players who will depart for training in Kyrgykistan to compete in the 2022 AFC U23 Championship qualifiers.

Accordingly, goalkeeper Tran Liem Dieu, defender Hoang Xuan Tan (Nam Dinh), midfielder Huynh Cong Den (SHB Da Nang), Pham Xuan Luan (Sai ​​Gon FC), striker Le Minh Binh (CAND) are the ones whose names are not on the list. Previously, the coaching board also eliminated two players Dung Quang Nho and Nguyen Duy Kien of Hoang Anh Gia Lai due to health reasons.

Gathering from August 10 with 30 players, the list of the U22 Vietnam team has actually changed a lot as some young players of the team have been called up by coach Park Hang-seo to join the Vietnam team in the past time. This is very good for the young players, because it helps them gain more experience and courage when they can rub shoulders and learn from their seniors.

U22 Vietnam is ready with the best personnel.

Among the 21 players sent to the UAE for training this time, the Vietnamese team also includes 5 young players from the U22 team who will compete in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, including: Goalkeeper Nguyen Van Toan, defenders Nguyen Thanh Binh, Le Van Xuan, Bui Hoang Viet Anh and midfielder Ly Cong Hoang Anh.

After the match with Oman on October 12, Mr. Park and 5 players will join the U22 Vietnam team to prepare for the 2022 U23 Asian qualifiers. The exclusion of Minh Binh, Cong Den and Xuan Tan is surprising because Minh Binh and Cong Den are technical attacking players and are highly regarded. Meanwhile, Xuan Tan is a U22 Vietnam player who has played a lot in the V.League in the past two seasons.

Vietnam U22 is scheduled to have a friendly match with Kyrgyzstan on October 17. On October 19, Vietnam U22 will go to Kyrgyzstan to prepare for the 2022 AFC U23 Championship qualifiers.
