HOT: Coach Park calls Nguyen Manh and Xuan Manh to prepare for the match against Malaysia
(Baonghean.vn) - Captain Tran Nguyen Manh and defender Pham Xuan Manh of SLNA were officially called back to the national team by coach Park Hang-seo right before the match against Malaysia.
On October 10, the Vietnam National Team will host Malaysia at My Dinh Stadium in Group G of the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers. Today, the Vietnam Football Federation sent a dispatch to SLNA Club to announce the gathering of players Tran Nguyen Manh and Pham Xuan Manh.
Previously, both goalkeepers Nguyen Manh and Pham Xuan Manh were unfortunately absent from the match against Thailand at Thammasat Stadium. This is a worthy result for the efforts of Nguyen Manh and Xuan Manh in the past time.

This season, Nguyen Manh has been in extremely stable form and is the mainstay of SLNA's defense, which is considered the most solid in V.League. Meanwhile, Xuan Manh, despite having just returned from injury, has also shown impressive form and scored a beautiful goal against B. Binh Duong.
In the coming days, the list of all Vietnamese national team players that coach Park Hang-seo has gathered for the match against Malaysia will be announced by VFF.
Receiving the good news, Pham Xuan Manh shared: “In the match against Thailand, I had just returned from injury and was not in my best form. Now that I have fully recovered and regained my best playing condition, and have also scored a goal in the V.League, I will try to show myself in this return.”
Midfielder Dang Anh Tuan and Vo Huy Toan of SHB Da Nang were also called up by coach Park Hang-seo to the Vietnam national team to prepare for the matches against Malaysia and Indonesia in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
Vietnam National Team will gather on September 23 after round 24 of V.League ends.
