Confident of defeating Afghanistan, coach Park Hang-seo experienced heart-stopping moments and had to silently thank luck for helping the Vietnamese team win a valuable draw.
 |
| With a "huge" profile, Coach Park Hang-seo easily defeated the leaders of the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF). The negotiations took place quickly and in just one day, the two sides found a common voice. |
 |
| On October 11, 2017, Mr. Park Hang-seo officially signed a contract to become the new head coach of the Vietnam national team. On the day he took the hot seat, the Korean coach affirmed his ambition to bring the Vietnam national team into the world top 100. |
 |
| In the first list of players called up by Coach Park Hang Seo as the captain of the Vietnam national team, it was quite surprising that some of the previous key players were not called up. Perhaps like his other teammates, central defender Que Ngoc Hai had mentally prepared himself to join the national team. But when the official list was announced, everyone was surprised. |
 |
| Before the match against Afghanistan, Coach Park Hang-seo boldly declared that he and his new students would achieve an impressive victory. The Korean strategist's face was full of confidence for a new start. |
 |
| With such faith and desire, Coach Park Hang-seo almost had to suffer the consequences of his pre-match statements. Only the goalpost and luck helped him avoid disaster in his debut match. |
 |
| The match marked the excellence of "spider man" Tuan Manh when he continuously had miraculous, brave and precise moves. Thanks to that, the Vietnamese team's net was preserved throughout the 90 minutes. Struggling to win 1 point, the Vietnamese team officially entered the 2019 Asian Cup, while the Afghan team was officially eliminated. |
 |
| After the final whistle at My Dinh Stadium, coach Park Hang-seo could breathe a sigh of relief. |
 |
| With just one draw in a losing position, the Korean coach created a miracle - for the first time, he led the Vietnamese team directly to the Asian Cup finals. Coach Park Hang-seo's luck made fans feel sad when thinking about previous coaches such as Mai Duc Chung, Huu Thang or Miura. |
 |
| The short training period only helped coach Park Hang-seo get to know the players by face and name. Hopefully, with his extensive experience, the coach from the land of ginseng will leave a stronger impression on Vietnamese football, especially in terms of physical strength. |
