An unforgettable year for Pham Xuan Manh in the national team jersey?
(Baonghean.vn) - The midfielder from Yen Thanh is one of the five players not registered by coach Park Hang-seo for the two matches against the UAE team and the Thai team.
Pham Xuan Manh’s elimination has surprised experts and football fans in the country. It is known that the player born in 1996 was not injured and was present in the Vietnam National Team’s trip to Bali (Indonesia) in October. Thus, Manh “Kalou” will not have any matches for the national teams this year.
With the injury he suffered while playing for SLNA at the end of last season, Pham Xuan Manh missed the AFF Cup 2018 and Asian Cup 2019. It was not until the Vietnam National Team gathered to prepare for two matches against Malaysia and Indonesia (late September - early October) that Pham Xuan Manh was called back by Coach Park Hang-seo.

From now until the end of 2019, the Vietnam National Team only has 2 matches left with the UAE National Team (November 14) and the Thailand National Team (November 19), before "giving way" for the U22 Vietnam team to participate in the 30th SEA Games, taking place in the Philippines from November 30 to December 11. Certainly, Pham Xuan Manh will not appear in this tournament with Coach Park Hang-seo and his team.

It seems that 2019 was not a really lucky year for Manh “Kalou”, especially in the national team jersey. Hopefully next year - 2020, everything will be smoother for the player born in 1996./.
