Vietnam surpasses a series of Thailand's achievements; Coach Park does not think the Vietnamese team will continue to win.

Coach Park Hang Seo: "Thinking that Vietnam will win again after beating China is too greedy"

Coach Park Hang Seo was very happy with the first victory of the Vietnamese team in the third qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup against China on the first day of the year, but he was also quite sober after this victory.

“I think Vietnamese fans seem to have expected too much from the Vietnamese team’s performance in the final qualifying round. It must be admitted that it has been more than 60 years since Vietnam has been able to participate in this round. There is a Korean proverb that says ‘the first bowl of rice cannot be delicious’, meaning that everything has to go through a process. If we think that after the victory over China, we will continue to have more victories, it is too greedy, because we need to look at the development process of Vietnamese football and the players over time,” said Mr. Park Hang Seo.

Vietnam national football team surpasses Thailand's achievements in World Cup qualifiers

The victory over China helped Vietnam overcome Thailand to become the first Southeast Asian team to defeat an opponent in the third qualifying round of the World Cup.

Hung Dung left his mark with 2 assists.

Up to now, Vietnam is only behind Thailand in terms of points. Vietnam's advantage is that Park Hang Seo and his team still have 1 match at home to welcome Oman. That could be an opportunity for Hung Dung and his teammates to find a draw or more against their opponents.

In addition, with 7 goals, Vietnam has also surpassed Thailand's scoring record (5 goals in the 2002 World Cup qualifiers and 6 goals in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers). Vietnam also became the first Southeast Asian team to score 3 goals in 1 match.
