'Strange card' Mr. Park used to compete with UAE and Thailand?
(Baonghean.vn) - There are not many changes in terms of personnel compared to the training session nearly a month ago, so what strategies will the Vietnam National Team use to achieve good results in the two key matches against the UAE and Thailand?
Compared to the training camp nearly a month ago, Mr. Park Hang-seo only called up 27 players to prepare for the confrontation with UAE and Thailand. Among them was a surprise named Le Van Dai from Thanh Hoa Club and Ngan Van Dai of Hanoi FC. In addition, Mr. Park continued to give more opportunities to Ngo Hoang Thinh and Ha Minh Tuan, while eliminating Tien Linh, the striker who scored 1 goal in the 3-1 victory of the Vietnam National Team against the representative of the "Land of Ten Thousand Islands".
So, it will not be difficult to predict that Mr. Park will continue to use the same personnel as in the two matches against Malaysia and Indonesia. On the defensive front, it will be too difficult for other names to replace Ngoc Hai, Tien Dung, Duy Manh, Van Hau and Trong Hoang. In the midfield, Do Hung Dung and Tuan Anh are playing very stably. If there is a change, it will probably only be in the top center forward position.

Cong Phuong has not regained his best feeling after a long period of "sitting around doing nothing" in Belgium. Anh Duc's steps have become heavy due to age, Tien Linh has to support the SEA Games mission. If a change is needed, Mr. Park only has the name Ha Minh Tuan left.
The Quang Nam player is the only striker added to the upcoming training camp. Therefore, the chance for him to be included in the final 23-man squad is not small. Even if the strikers in the existing squad do not improve their performance, Ha Minh Tuan will have the opportunity to play in the next 2 matches.

The matches against UAE and Thailand will be crucial for Vietnam’s goal of advancing. UAE has woken up after a humiliating defeat to Thailand. Meanwhile, under coach Nishino, Thailand has transformed and is currently the most impressive team in Group G.
With the determination to take revenge on the reigning Southeast Asian champions, Mr. Nishino will certainly study very carefully the playing style and dangerous factors of the team Mr. Park leads. For that reason, improving the strength of the attack is now the most important task of the Korean strategist. With the current people, if we find a "card up the sleeve", there is no one but the striker of the Quang Nam team - Ha Minh Tuan.
