Asian Cup 2019: The flag has reached Ngan Van Dai's hands
(Baonghean.vn) - After the friendly match with the DPRK team, coach Park Sang-seo has reduced the list of the Vietnamese team to 24 players to prepare for the 2019 Asian Cup Finals. Fortunately, Ngan Van Dai was still retained.
Coach Park Hang-seo's decision to bring Ngan Van Dai to Qatar to train with the Vietnam National Team did not surprise many people. Speaking to the press after the friendly match between the Vietnam National Team and the DPRK National Team ended, the Korean strategist praised the performance of the player currently playing for the Hanoi Club:
“Van Dai is a striker, but today he played Trong Hoang’s position. And his performance today was very good. I rate Van Dai a 10-point match.”

Indeed, Coach Park Hang-seo's assessment is not an exaggeration, because Ngan Van Dai had an impressive performance in the minutes on the field in the match against the DPRK team. The Nghe An player's excellence in the right-back position was one of the bright spots of the Vietnam team in the last match.
Ngan Van Daiborn February 9, 1992 inQuy Hop,Nghe An, is one of the first generation of players to grow up at the VST training center in Cua Lo. He is currently a striker for Hanoi FC.
Not only completing his defensive duties well, Ngan Van Dai also often climbed the sidelines and crossed the ball, causing danger to the opposing team's defense.
Although he cannot compare with his senior Nguyen Trong Hoang, Ngan Van Dai still deserves to receive compliments from coach Park Hang-seo, experts and Vietnamese football fans.
In the situation where Nguyen Trong Hoang is suffering from injuries and is unlikely to recover in time for the 2019 Asian Cup, Ngan Van Dai is probably the most likely replacement for his compatriot in the right-back position. Simply put, the Hanoi FC player has many similarities with Hoang "the cow".

In addition to his strong physical foundation, Ngan Van Dai is also a player with a fierce playing style, not afraid of collision. Not to mention, the current playing position of the player born in 1992 in the capital team's jersey last season was right winger. In particular, Ngan Van Dai also has the ability to accelerate extremely well in short distances (Ngan Van Dai is known as the Usain Bolt of V.League).
With what is happening in the Vietnam National Team, the opportunity for Ngan Van Dai to participate in the 2019 Asian Cup, or even to play on the field, is extremely high. In the previous 3 times being called up to the national team (U23 Vietnam, Vietnam National Team), the player from Nghe An was either eliminated early or "stuck" on the bench. This time, the flag is really in Ngan Van Dai's hands./.
