Vietnamese players absent from top 10 most expensive players in Southeast Asia
Recently, Fox Sports Asia published an article listing the 10 most valuable Southeast Asian players on the transfer market.
The top 10 names with the highest transfer value in Southeast Asia to date do not include any Vietnamese players.
Fox Sports Asia also pointed out a paradox. Despite many successes in recent times, the Vietnamese team does not have any names on the list of the 10 most expensive players in Southeast Asia.

The most expensive player in the top 10 Southeast Asian stars is Filipino goalkeeper Neil Etheridge with a value of 7.2 million euros.
Cong Phuong and Van Hau returned 48 hours ago
These two players were both named under Mr. Park to prepare for the next two matches of the second qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup, but they only have 48 hours to join the national team according to FIFA regulations. The same goes for goalkeeper Van Lam, but he has the advantage of a short travel distance from Muang Thong Club (Thailand) back to Hanoi.

Mr. Park shocked again
Coach Park Hang-seo caused another shock when he called up striker Nguyen Viet Phong from Viettel while the national team had six strikers but missed out on two domestic top scorers.
Viet Phong, 26 years old, has not scored any goals in the V-League after 24 matches, possibly because Viettel is too dependent on two foreign strikers Bruno (nine goals) and Souza (seven goals). The other two Viettel players who can score goals are national team captain Tien Dung (three goals) and Hoang Duc (two goals), not the "strange" name Viet Phong, who is appearing for the first time under Mr. Park.

Of course, Mr. Park has never made a mistake in his personnel selection through many tournaments, but it still leaves some concerns.
