A gift of gratitude to teacher Park Hang-seo
After just over a year of being involved with Vietnamese football, the Korean coach has left behind a lot of affection not only for generations of players but also for a large number of fans.
In the only training session at Thuwunna's main stadium to prepare for the away match with Myanmar, the players were all very hard-working and focused with the determination to win 3 points as a gift for coach Park Hang-seo on Vietnamese Teachers' Day, November 20.
There is an interesting story about the Korean teacher when the home media briefly interviewed him:
Which national team in the world would you like to manage?
+ Coach Park Hang-seo: Vietnam!
Where do you like to go on vacation?
+ I'd rather win with the Vietnamese team than go on vacation!
…
Coach Park Hang-seo's closeness and friendliness are most easily seen in meetings, regardless of closeness. He is always patient and happy to take pictures or sign autographs for football lovers with a lovely smile. He has been moved to tears after his students' victories and shed tears even when the team lost in international tournaments.

After leading U-23 Vietnam to the runner-up position in the Asian Youth Championship, Mr. Park's reputation grew rapidly.
We have witnessed every time Mr. Park boarded the plane, there was always a warm welcome. “Our flight is honored to welcome a special guest: Mr. Park Hang-seo - Head Coach of the Vietnam national team” - the airline's chief flight attendant happily shared with the passengers and in response, there was a round of applause in response to Mr. Park's polite bow.
Mr. Park Hang-seo is not as big-headed as his predecessors and he always has a high sense of responsibility for his work. Besides, Mr. Park is also very enthusiastic about social work, from the times he took his students to visit the SOS Children's Village in Hanoi, or personally traveled to Binh Dinh to teach football to students.
Coach Park can be very strict with his students, sometimes yelling loudly on the training ground or during matches, but when he returns to his daily life, he is a gentle and cheerful Mr. Park, behaving like a father to his children.
A victory by the Vietnamese players over the Myanmar team as a gift of gratitude to coach Park Hang-seo on Teachers' Day will have great meaning!

•Striker Anh Duc: “I once said goodbye to the Vietnamese team, but when coach Mai Duc Chung persuaded me to return, I accepted. However, the motivation that inspired me to continue to be involved with the team was coach Park Hang-seo. He is friendly, approachable, understanding and understands his players both in real life and on the field.”
•Goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung: "He always understands, sympathizes and shares with his students both in their failures and successes!"
