(Baonghean.vn) - After 2 matches, Mr. Park Hang Seo has only used 15 players, which means that the Korean coach still has 8 players who have not played. There are still 6 matches ahead, the further in the match, the more fierce and there are still many opportunities for the players sitting on the bench.

Except for Van Hau due to a yellow card, the remaining 5 substitutions in the first 2 matches were for the attack. The Vietnamese team's goalkeeping framework including goalkeeper Van Lam, central defenders Duy Manh, Dinh Trong, Ngoc Hai and 2 wingers Trong Hoang and Van Hau has been determined. The remaining 5 positions will be considered by Mr. Park Hang Seo and put on the field depending on the opponent and the specific situation.

The 4th card

Van Duc is the tactical card of the Vietnam team. No one in the Vietnamese media and experts thought that Mr. Park would choose SLNA's style of play, SLNA's players to apply the through ball, using speed to run behind the opponent's defenders. Van Duc's unpretentious but somewhat effective style of play was successfully used by Mr. Park in the match against Malaysia.

If Tien Linh replaced Anh Duc in the Laos match, when the score was already 3-0, simply to get used to the atmosphere of the AFF Cup arena, then it seems Hung Dung and Duc Huy are being assembled for the long term.

Coach Park Hang Seo is still using "winged words" with the midfielder pair Quang Hai and Xuan Truong, but that does not mean they will start when we go deep. Not to mention, midfielder Quang Hai can be returned to his best position at any time to develop his long-range cannon shots.

With the call of Myanmar Football Federation President Soe Moe Kyaw: "We have home field advantage, home audience so we must take full advantage of Vietnam's 3 points. If we cannot beat Vietnam, Myanmar will fall into a dangerous situation when playing away against Malaysia in the final match" has made the confrontation between Vietnam and Myanmar become more heated.

Myanmar players were already tough, but now they must be even tougher, in the style of “using force to overwhelm”. They have been ordered to win at all costs and this is the time for Mr. Park to unleash the strategic cards that have been carefully stored on the bench.

The 5th card

In the Vietnam national team, Van Toan is the one who scored 4 goals against Myanmar, in the last 5 meetings. He is the most annoying opponent of the best young generation in the history of Myanmar football, including the namesAung Thu, Sithu Aung, Maung Maung Soe…

Host Componentscurrently has one of the best young players in Southeast Asia. This is also the best Myanmar team in recent years. The greatest achievement of the generation of Aung Thu, Sithu Aung, Maung Maung Soe is the ticket to the U20 World Cup 2015.

At the 2013 Southeast Asian U19 tournament, in the first match against Myanmar, Van Toan scored a hat-trick to help Vietnam U19 win 3-1 against their opponents. In 2014, when they met again at My Dinh, Van Toan continued to score, contributing to the team's 4-1 victory. Two years later, at the 2016 AFF Cup and the 2017 M-150 Cup, Van Toan played in Vietnam's 2-0 and 4-1 victories over their opponents.

In addition to the 4 wins, Van Toan lost to Myanmar in the final match of the Hassanal Bolkiah 2014 tournament, after losing 3-4 to his opponent. If we calculate carefully, the HAGL player was also on the bench in the semi-final match of the 2015 SEA Games, in which our team lost 1-2. But in that match, Van Toan was not sent onto the field by coach Toshiya Miura.

With the philosophy of "using softness to overcome hardness" and such "rookie" statistics, along with the ability to dribble skillfully and boldly break into the 16.5m area, Van Toan has every chance of entering the field in the next match.

If on the left wing, after 2 matches, Van Hau had a chance to dribble close to the touchline and then pass the ball inside for his teammate to score, now it's time for the right wing, fans are waiting for Van Toan to re-establish himself.

In our opinion, in addition to reinforcing the steel in the central area to confront Aung Thu (10), MA Lwin (26), right wing Van Toan is the "mysterious factor" that will appear. Under the hands of Park Hang Seo, the 4th card Van Duc has just shone and if Van Toan continues to shine, he deserves to be the best coach of AFF Cup 2018!
