Coach Park trains the Vietnamese team's physical strength in the hot sun
(Baonghean.vn) - The exercises are still endurance running around the field combined with running and dribbling, but the volume is pushed higher than the first day of practice, making the players have to work very hard to complete.
On the morning of September 18, the Vietnam National Team continued to return to the training ground with physical and endurance training. After a week of "resting", this is necessary to help the players return to their familiar orbit.
The practice session started at a time when the sun was shining brightly, but the temperature was not too high and did not create the uncomfortable feeling like the hottest days of summer.
The challenge for the players did not come from the weather but from the requirements of Coach Park Hang-seo in the physical strengthening content. It was still endurance running exercises around the field combined with running and dribbling, but the volume was pushed higher than the first training day, forcing the players to make a great effort to be able to complete.

In the third qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup, Vietnam's opponents all played at a different level compared to the second qualifying round, so if they do not ensure the basic factor of physical strength, Coach Park Hang-seo's students will find it difficult to keep up with the match.

While Thanh Binh is familiar with the national team environment as he has regularly participated in recent training sessions, Tran Van Cong is a new experiment. With the advantage of physique, good fighting ability and the ability to play in both the defensive midfielder and central defender positions, if he shows good form in training sessions with the Vietnam national team, Tran Van Cong will have the opportunity to participate in the journey of the Vietnam national team in the 3rd qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup.
In the last 2 matches, although they did not get any points, the Vietnam team still impressed with their fiery fighting spirit and tireless efforts from the first minute to the last. Although they received praise from many fans, according to Captain Que Ngoc Hai's sharing with his teammates, if they only try hard, it is not enough, the team must do something to achieve better results in the upcoming matches.In an interview before this morning's training session, midfielder Pham Duc Huy also expressed his support for Que Ngoc Hai's opinion. "When we reached the third qualifying round of the World Cup, the fans' expectations were very high. Each of us players also wanted to do something bigger for our career milestone. To achieve that goal, in the next two away matches, we must have good results, especially the match against the Chinese national team," Duc Huy said.
Pham Duc Huy is one of the key players in the Vietnam U23 team that made history at the 2018 AFC U23 Championship. However, after that, due to the effects of injury, Duc Huy could not reach his peak performance. Recently, this midfielder with a warrior-like playing style in the midfield has increasingly received the trust of coach Park Hang-seo and had quite good performances when he was put on the field to play in the last 2 matches.

Sharing about this, Duc Huy said: “Before joining the national team, my form was not good. But after returning and training with a very high intensity in the national team environment, as well as integrating with the teammates, I gradually regained my form. I think that, for new players or old players, the opportunity to compete for a position is the same. Who gets to play will depend on the decision of the coaching staff and the head coach.”
