Playing brilliantly, Van Lam has a bright chance to be selected for the Vietnam national team

Playing brilliantly, Van Lam has a bright chance to be the main goalkeeper for the Vietnam National Team.

In round 22 of V.League 2018, Dang Van Lam continued to prove that he is the number one goalkeeper in Vietnam at the moment. Lam 'Tay' had a great match when he had a brilliant reflex to block Hoang Thien's close-range header in the 64th minute.

At the end of 90 minutes of play, Hai Phong FC had 3 valuable points thanks to successfully defending a fragile one-goal lead. In which, Van Lam played the role of hero of the match when he played extremely focused, blocking all dangerous shots from Saigon strikers.

Van Lam is still the number 1 goalkeeper of the Vietnam national team at present.

Van Lam's shining performance at a time when coach Park Hang Seo's assistants are making a list of players with the best performance to send to the Korean coach will help the Vietnamese goalkeeper have a bright chance of being called up to the Vietnam national team and starting at the AFF Cup 2018.

What did coach Truong Viet Hoang say when Stevens was disciplined?

Coach Truong Viet Hoang commented: "From the beginning of the season, Van Phu asked to no longer be captain. Fagan's promotion from vice captain to captain is completely normal. Not only this match but also the previous match, we were also without Stevens.

We build the team above all, not just for any individual, so Stevens' absence does not have much impact. Hai Phong's goal is to be in the TOP 5, we will try to play well to achieve the assigned goal."

Bau Tu: 'Referee Lap has a negative influence on V.League'

According to Mr. Tran Anh Tu - Chairman of VPF, referee Tran Van Lap has had a negative impact on V-League with basic mistakes. VPF has compiled documents and reports to transfer to the VFF Referee Board for handling and discipline, and at the same time, does not accept this referee to work in the remaining 4 rounds of the 2018 season.

Mr. Tran Anh Tu shared: "First of all, it must be determined that the handling of the referee is under the authority of the referee board and VFF. VPF, within its responsibility, collects all video report documents and sends them back to VFF for consideration and decision on handling."

"The incident greatly affected the image as well as the professional quality of the tournament. The quality of the match was not high and then there was such a refereeing incident, which is something we regret. In the coming seasons, the referees need to change."
