Looking at Van Quyet playing at AFF Cup, I feel sorry for Dinh Thanh Trung

After getting 3 goals from Tien Linh, Quang Hai and Van Duc. Vietnam national team was considered to have secured victory against the visiting team Cambodia, coach Park Hang-seo started to make changes in terms of personnel. Van Quyet was brought on to replace Van Duc who was unexpectedly injured.

It is understandable that Van Quyet's desire at this time, he is under terrible pressure from public opinion after his disappointing performance in the recent matches he played. Hang Day Stadium is also a very familiar place for the star of Hanoi Club. Therefore, many people think that, leaving behind all the noise, Van Quyet will shine to regain the trust of the Korean coach.

However, contrary to that expectation, in the minutes Quyet was on the field, he once again made the fans feel disappointed. It must be added that, with Quyet's extensive experience, as the leader of the reigning V.League 2018 champion, but against a weak team like Cambodia, Van Quyet still could not show himself, there is no excuse that can protect Van Quyet at this time.

After appearing on the field, Van Quyet received a lot of support from his junior players. He moved widely and was often proactively given the ball by Duc Huy or Van Duc. However, the midfielder of Hanoi Club still could not handle the situations smoothly, even causing the attack tempo of the Vietnam National Team to slow down.

The biggest chance that Van Quyet had was when he was assigned the responsibility of taking a free kick in the 80th minute of the match. However, once again, the most experienced player of the Vietnam national team did not execute well, the ball went low and hit the opponent's wall, making everyone watching the match shake their heads in disappointment.

The most outstanding player in the history of Vietnamese football - Mr. Le The Tho frankly shared after the match between Vietnam and Myanmar: "In the first 25-30 minutes of the first half, we did not play well. Famous players like Van Quyet did not have any value. Quyet is the captain of Hanoi FC, but I do not see him in the national team, I find it strange and really feel like a waste".

Looking at Van Quyet's performance, many people were disappointed and felt sorry for Dinh Thanh Trung. The midfielder from Ha Tinh is even more experienced than Van Quyet, Thanh Trung's playing style is more elegant and simple than the player of the Hanoi team.

During the training session before the AFF Cup, Thanh Trung showed his talent and desire. Therefore, when his name was removed, the player of the Quang Nam team was shocked and burst into tears, not believing that it was true.

Mr. Park Hang-seo is a perfectionist, his calculations about personnel are very careful. In the last match, players who seemed to have no chance of participating in AFF like Hong Duy and Tien Linh both shone. However, ironically, Van Quyet, a name everyone knew was certain to be in the tournament, showed a below-average performance.

Only now do we see that not everything is perfect in Park Hang-seo’s view. And perhaps the Korean coach was too hasty in deciding to choose Quyet and eliminate Trung in this year’s tournament./.
