Bui Tien Dung is crossing out his own name?
(Baonghean.vn) - Player To Van Vu has become the "hero" of B.Binh Duong, that achievement is "greatly contributed" to FLC Thanh Hoa goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung. With two consecutive mistakes in the National Cup final, it seems that "national goalkeeper" Bui Tien Dung has crossed out his name before going to Hanoi to join the national team.
Inconsistent performance
This season, FLC.Thanh Hoa has registered 3 goalkeepers. In addition to Bui Tien Dung, there are also Tran Buu Ngoc, Nguyen Thanh Thang, and the coaches of FLC.Thanh Hoa have rotated the use of the 3 goalkeepers. Of which, Tien Dung is the one who has played the most with 11/26 matches as the main goalkeeper, followed by Thanh Thang with 8 matches and Buu Ngoc with 7 matches. Tien Dung is the goalkeeper who alternates between matches where he catches good goals or concedes "out of the blue" in a unique way.

In the National Cup final, coach Nguyen Duc Thang decided to choose the hero of U23 Vietnam to stand in the goal, this is the third time Tien Dung has caught the National Cup. B.Binh Duong opened the score after a seemingly harmless situation.
From a cross from the right wing by defender To Van Vu, the ball hit center back Luc Xuan Hung, suddenly changing direction, causing Bui Tien Dung to fumble and push the ball into the net. In the final goal, Bui Tien Dung passed the ball like "setting the table" for the opponent, creating an opportunity for To Van Vu to rush in and score the final goal, 3-1 for the representative of Thu Dau Mot.
First of all, it must be said that mistakes like this rarely happen in an important match like the National Cup final. But somehow, "national goalkeeper" Bui Tien Dung made two mistakes, all basic and elementary. Especially the second goal, Tien Dung had the time and space to handle it much more safely instead of kicking the ball at the opponent.
In the National Cup, in the first leg of the semi-final at Thanh Hoa Stadium, this goalkeeper was also “startled” many times in the match where FLC Thanh Hoa lost 2-3 to SLNA. It seems that this goalkeeper’s ability to resist psychological pressure is not good.
During the preparation for ASIAD 2018, Coach Park recognized that the weakness of his student Bui Tien Dung was his competitive mentality. He used goalkeeper Van Lam to "provoke" the goalkeeper of FLC Thanh Hoa and he was ultimately successful. Goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung played quite successfully in the tournament in Indonesia, saving many goals to help the Vietnamese Olympic team win the fourth place.
What chance?
In this national team gathering, Coach Park called up 4 goalkeepers: Van Lam, Van Cuong, Tien Dung, Tuan Manh, he will only bring a maximum of 3 goalkeepers to the AFF Cup 2018. Of those 4 names, Van Lam and Tuan Manh are goalkeepers with quite high stability, trusted by the coaching staff and teammates.

The achievements of Hai Phong and S.Khanh Hoa this season have been greatly contributed by the two players in goal. Experience and mental stability are the two strengths of these seniors, which Tien Dung is lacking.
From now until the AFF Cup 2018, which will take place from November 8 to December 15, there is not much time left. The biggest problem for Bui Tien Dung is whether he can recover, forget the mistakes of the National Cup final match and focus wholeheartedly on the team or not?
In the immediate future, Bui Tien Dung has 3 friendly matches, with not-so-strong teams, he may be given a chance. These are the final challenges, if he cannot prove himself, he can only cross his name off the team list.
