SLNA Head Coach: "Duy Manh and Trong Hoang are absent, there is nothing to worry about"
(Baonghean.vn) - Besides central defender Duy Manh who cannot be present because he has received enough yellow cards, Trong Hoang's ability to play in the match against the Yemen team is still uncertain.
Having received two yellow cards in the two matches against Iraq and Iran, center back Duy Manh could not be present in the match between Vietnam and Yemen in the final round. Meanwhile, right back Trong Hoang's ability to play in the next match is still unclear due to physical reasons. This is a huge loss for coach Park Hang-seo's team.
Without needing to analyze carefully, everyone understands the importance of this duo to the current Vietnam National Team. Losing Duy Manh and Trong Hoang, the strength of the "golden star warriors" will be greatly affected, at least in terms of defense. Obviously, experts and football fans in the country have reason to worry about the "life or death" match between Coach Park Hang-seo and his team against the Yemen National Team on January 16.

However, sharing with Nghe An Newspaper, Coach Nguyen Duc Thang has a different opinion. The captain of Nghe An Football Team said: "It is true that Duy Manh and Trong Hoang are important to the Vietnam National Team, but Coach Park Hang-seo still has many worthy replacements. Just look at the recent performances of central defender Tien Dung. Viettel's players have excellently completed the task left by Dinh Trong."
“I believe in Coach Park Hang-seo’s calculations. He often shows his ability to use people appropriately and accurately. No one understands the players of the Vietnam National Team better than Mr. Park. Without Duy Manh, there are Thanh Chung and Van Hau; without Trong Hoang, there are Van Dai or Van Duc. In fact, against an opponent that is not highly rated like the Yemen National Team, the absence of Duy Manh and Trong Hoang is not a big problem for the Vietnam National Team. We will surpass the opponent by 2 goals or more.”
The match between Vietnam and Yemen will take place at 11pm on January 16. If they defeat the representative from West Asia, the chance to win a ticket to the knockout round (one of the four best third-placed teams) will not be small for Coach Park Hang-seo and his team./.
