Pham Xuan Manh and his opportunity in the Vietnam national team
(Baonghean.vn) - In recent years, despite always playing very well at Song Lam Nghe An, Pham Xuan Manh has rarely been called up to the Vietnam National Team. Therefore, this training session will be an opportunity for the midfielder from Yen Thanh.
First, it must be affirmed that this training session ofVietnam National Teamis the best opportunity for Pham Xuan Manh to prove himself. Because, the player from Yen Thanh has many advantages to be able to occupy an official playing position. And if he seizes this opportunity, it is very likely that Pham Xuan Manh will be a choice of coach Philippe Troussier in the future.
Pham Xuan Manh's first advantage is playing for Hanoi Club. The Capital team is one of the clubs with the most national team players. They are Do Hung Dung, Pham Tuan Hai and Nguyen Van Quyet. Besides, in this training session, Manh Kalou also has old teammates from Song Lam Nghe An such as Que Ngoc Hai, Nguyen Van Viet or Ho Van Cuong. Therefore, he can easily have a connection with his teammates on the Vietnam National Team.
Most likely, this player from Yen Thanh will be arranged to play on the left wing. Here, Pham Xuan Manh will combine with Pham Tuan Hai to create quality attacking situations. This duo is the one who just made a great contribution to the 2-1 victory of Hanoi Club in the AFC Champions League. Therefore, Vietnamese fans can completely hope for the understanding between Xuan Manh and Tuan Hai to penetrate the opponent's defense.
On the other hand, it is impossible not to mention the excellent qualities of this 27-year-old player. Those are the ability to compete in one-on-one matches, the ability to cross the wing and extremely good physical strength. In the recent match against Wuhan Three Towns, it was the "uncomfortable"Pham Xuan Manhcausing Shihao Wei to be sent off the field. Therefore, the presence of this player from Yen Thanh will help the wing corridor of the Vietnamese team become more solid.
In addition, rich playing experience will also be a big advantage for the former Song Lam Nghe An player. 83 matches in V.League, 4 matches in AFC Champions League... will help Pham Xuan Manh have a stable mentality when facing the pressure of opponents. This is exactly what Ho Van Cuong, Vo Minh Trong or Giap Tuan Duong still lack.
Another strength of Pham Xuan Manh is his ability to play high balls. During his time playing for Song Lam Nghe An, Pham Xuan Manh scored many goals from headers. Especially when the upcoming opponents of the Vietnam National Team are all teams with very good physique and strong in aerial situations. Therefore, this 27-year-old player will help improve the ability to counter high balls of coach Philippe Troussier's team.
With the above advantages, Pham Xuan Manh will most likely be the preferred choice on the wing of the Vietnam national team. Hopefully, in this rare opportunity to be the "main actor", Pham Xuan Manh will demonstrate his best qualities, thereby building a solid position in the Vietnam National Team.
Match between TeamsPhilippinesand Vietnam Team will take place at 18:00 on November 16, 2023 at Rizal Memorial Stadium (capital Manila, Philippines).
