Ngo Hoang Thinh - Marco Reus 'Vietnamese version'
(Baonghean.vn) - Although their playing style, positions and appearances are different, Ngo Hoang Thinh and Marco Reus have something in common that is easy to recognize: they often miss their national team matches due to injuries.
Marco Reus is one of the best players in German football in the past 10 years. Unlike when playing for Dortmund and Monchengladbach, the midfielder born in 1989 has always been unlucky with the "German tank" shirt. Injuries are the main reason why Marco Reus cannot accompany the team nicknamed Mannschaft in major tournaments (World Cup 2014 and Euro 2016).

Similar to Marco Reus’s situation in faraway Germany is the case of Ngo Hoang Thinh in Vietnam. The midfielder from Nghe An was just removed by coach Park Hang-seo from the list of 25 players preparing for the 2 matches against the UAE and Thailand in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Asia. Not recovering from a groin injury in time is the reason why Ngo Hoang Thinh had to “pack his bags” and return home.

In the past, the former SLNA player missed the opportunity to participate in the 27th SEA Games (2013) and 28th SEA Games (2015) due to injury. Witnessing Ngo Hoang Thinh's missed appointments with the Vietnamese national team, many domestic football fans have associated it with the case of Marco Reus of the German national team in recent years. Calling Thinh "bom" the "Vietnamese version" of Marco Reus, it seems there is nothing wrong./.
