(Baonghean.vn) - With the injuries of Luong Xuan Truong, Nguyen Huy Hung and most recently Nguyen Tuan Anh, the chance for Ho Khac Ngoc to be called back to the Vietnam National Team by Coach Park Hang-seo in the upcoming meeting is not small.

While Luong Xuan Truong and Nguyen Huy Hung are recovering from injuries and will definitely not be present in the two matches of the Vietnam National Team against the Iraq National Team (friendly) and the Malaysia National Team (2022 World Cup qualifiers), Nguyen Tuan Anh has not been able to practice with HAGL after being injured at the 2020 Viettel Open.

Thus, in the hands of Coach Park Hang-seo at this time, there are only 2 "favorite players" playing in the central midfield position, Do Hung Dung and Pham Duc Huy. Therefore, to best prepare for the away match against the Malaysian team, the Korean strategist will have to summon some new faces to supplement the central midfield personnel. Ho Khac Ngoc is a potential candidate.

The talent of the midfielder currently playing for Viettel has been proven during his time playing for SLNA. It is not an exaggeration to say that the player born in 1992 is one of the best central midfielders in Vietnamese football at the moment. Unfortunately, Ho Khac Ngoc has no luck with the national team (not suitable for the philosophy of coach Park Hang-seo?).

It is very possible that things will be different for the former SLNA midfielder, because the Vietnam National Team is facing a "crisis" of central midfielders with a series of key players suffering from various injuries. Objectively speaking, with his talent, Ho Khac Ngoc deserves to be given more opportunities by Coach Park Hang-seo, at least in the friendly match with the Iraqi National Team, taking place on March 26.

Referring to this issue, expert Nguyen Thanh Vinh said: “With other coaches, Ho Khac Ngoc would definitely be called up, but with coach Park Hang-seo it is indeed a bit difficult. Mr. Park is the type of coach who does not like innovation, so the players he has used in the U23 Vietnam and the Vietnam National Team before will be given priority. One of them is Nguyen Duc Chien of Viettel”.

It seems that the opportunity for Ho Khac Ngoc is quite slim, if coach Park Hang-seo does not change his point of view. The immediate goal of "Nghe Fabregas" is to play excellently for Viettel in V.League 2019. That is also the way to win the trust of coach Park./.
