Players waiting to be discovered by Coach Park Hang Seo at V. League 2018
They may be young players, but some of them are not completely unknown to Vietnamese football, but they have not been officially used under coach Park Hang Seo. Therefore, they are very eager to show their performance in a year when Vietnamese football has many events.
2018 is the year that Vietnamese football will participate in the Asiad and the AFF Cup, so there are many big playgrounds waiting for players to demonstrate their abilities, and the first thing they need to do is make an impression in the V-League, before waiting for coach Park Hang Seo to call them to the national teams.
One of the most notable faces, waiting to shine under coach Park Hang Seo is midfielder Tuan Anh of HA Gia Lai. The period when the Korean coach started taking charge of the Vietnamese national teams was also the period when Tuan Anh was injured, so he did not have the opportunity to show his talent in the 2019 Asian Cup qualifiers, as well as the 2018 AFC U23 Championship.
Now, Tuan Anh can play again, and people are eagerly waiting to see how the HA Gia Lai player will perform in the V-League? If Tuan Anh plays as well as he did before, the possibility of this player being called by Coach Park Hang Seo to the Olympic team for the Asian Games in the middle of the year, and the national team for the AFF Cup at the end of the year is extremely high.

Another promising player is striker Nguyen Tien Linh (B.Binh Duong). This player emerged at the same time as Ha Duc Chinh at SHB Da Nang, and was named in the Vietnam U20 team that participated in the U20 World Cup in the middle of last year.
Tien Linh was also called up by coach Park Hang Seo to the Vietnam U23 team in preparation for the 2018 AFC U23 Championship. However, injury prevented this striker from having the opportunity to go to China to participate in the continental tournament.
This year, if Tien Linh recovers from his injury, he will be a name worth waiting for in V-League. Vietnamese football does not have many strikers with the physique and potential like Tien Linh, while this is one of the core players that B.Binh Duong has reserved to replace Anh Duc in the near future.
Another face is winger Vu Minh Tuan (FLC Thanh Hoa). Similar to Tuan Anh's case, the time when coach Park Hang Seo took charge of the national team for the 2019 Asian Cup qualifiers was the time when Minh Tuan was injured and had not had the opportunity to show his best ability in front of the Korean coach.
The fact that FLC Thanh Hoa is determined to get Minh Tuan from Than Quang Ninh shows the value of this player, as one of Vietnam's top attacking stars.
At the peak of his football career, Vu Minh Tuan is full of desire to wear the Vietnamese national team jersey and make a big splash at the AFF Cup 2018.
