Will Trong Hoang be able to enter the field against Malaysia?

Match withMalaysia team, Coach Park's only goal is to win, we must have 3 points before meeting the host UAE. This is not a very strong opponent because in 21 encounters, we have won 12 matches, drawn 3 and only lost 6. Recently, the Malaysian team lost 0-4 to the host UAE and received a lot of criticism from the press, experts and fans.

Important role

First of all, it must be admitted that under Mr. Park Hang-seo, the SLNA-born playerTrong Hoangis considered one of the most important cards in any tactical scheme. Even in the 2019 season, although he did not play any V.League matches for Viettel, Trong Hoang still had a starting position on the national team.

With his strong physique and fiery playing style that can inspire his teammates, Trong Hoang plays very versatilely, both on the right and left wings, both as a midfielder and defender. When needed, Trong Hoang can move inside to play as a central midfielder like a real midfielder. With 54 appearances for the national team, Trong Hoang is now the player with the most seniority in the national team.

In the match against the Indonesian team, HAGL player Van Thanh, who replaced Trong Hoang, had an excellent match. In addition to defending the right wing well, this small player also scored a classy goal. With Van Thanh's current form, Park Hang-seo will certainly give him a starting position. But that does not mean Trong Hoang can only enter the field on the bench.

Class, experience

After the two yellow cards, will Trong Hoang be able to play? First of all, we must understand the opponent, the Malaysian Football Federation is implementing a naturalization policy to quickly improve the national team. In addition to the three players Matthew Davies, Dion Cools and La'Vere Corbin-Ong who have some Malaysian blood, they also have three more naturalized players Liridon Krasniqi, Mohamadou Sumareh and Guilherme de Paula, who have a strong physical foundation.

We saw how winger Mohamadou Sumareh played with such determination and aggression when facing the Vietnamese team. In the fierce confrontations between Trong Hoang and Matthew Davies, Mohamadou Sumareh mostly won the Nghe An player. His extensive international experience helps Trong Hoang be firm and gentle at the right time, and even when necessary, he knows how to commit fouls to get the most advantage.

With Trong Hoang, who uses reckless dribbling and powerful long-range shots, the Vietnamese team's attack will be much more diverse. Especially in the context that, according to our colleague in the UAE, the Malaysian team's defense (which may be without injured captain Aidil Zafuan Radzak and Shahrul Saad) is in a patchwork state.

Therefore, in the upcoming crucial match with Malaysia, it is very necessary for Trong Hoang, a player with the best physical foundation of the team, to enter the field. With Tuan Anh injured and Van Toan not having a really good physical foundation, Trong Hoang can completely replace him as a central midfielder or move to the wing. The combination of Xuan Truong, Trong Hoang or Van Thanh, Trong Hoang is in Coach Park's calculation.

Hometown football fans are waiting for three Nghe An players, Que Ngoc Hai, Phan Van Duc and Nguyen Trong Hoang, to appear at Ai Maktoum Stadium. If Trong Hoang reappears with an assist or a goal, it will be a meaningful gift for the 32-year-old veteran to his hometown during the days of fighting the Covid-19 pandemic.
