Coach Park Hang-seo calls 28 players to the Vietnam U22 team

Head coach of the national team and U23 team Park Hang-seo has just announced the list of players summoned to the Vietnam U22 team to serve the inspection and force building work towards key goals in 2021.

With the above purpose and meaning, the Korean coach has selected 28 faces for this trial, including a mix of players who have been called up and players who are being monitored. Because professional tournaments are taking place, it is understandable that there are still many players in the coaching staff's selection plan but their names are not included in this training session.

Coach Park Hang-seo will select a new generation of U22 players for SEA Games 31.

According to the plan, the U22 Vietnam team will gather on the morning of July 1. In the afternoon of the same day, the team will enter its first training session at the Vietnam Football Training Center. On the afternoon of July 2, Coach Park Hang-seo will test the players with an internal practice match also at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center.

On July 3, the players were returned to their home clubs. This is one of the short-term training sessions of the national U22 team. After that, coach Park Hang-seo and his colleagues will continue to observe and evaluate to have suitable personnel choices for the next short-term training session of the Vietnam U22 team.

Quang Nam lost heavily to Viettel, coach Vu Hong Viet resigned

After Quang Nam's heavy 0-3 loss to Viettel in round 7 of V-League 2020, coach Vu Hong Viet decided to part ways with the Tam Ky team.

In the match of round 7 of V-League 2020, Quang Nam played at home, but coach Vu Hong Viet's team lost 0-3 to Viettel. This was the 5th loss of this team in the highest level of Vietnam this season.

Losing 0-3 to Viettel, Quang Nam has 4 points/7 matches, ranked 13th on the rankings, 1 point more than Nam Dinh, but has played 1 more match. And after this defeat, coach Vu Hong Viet said goodbye to Quang Nam.

Announcement from Quang Nam Club's Facebook page.

Coach Vu Hong Viet led Quang Nam last season, replacing coach Hoang Van Phuc. This coach did his job well, especially in the second phase, helping the Tam Ky team successfully stay in the league.

This season, Quang Nam under coach Vu Hong Viet played quite uncomfortably against opponents, but the strikers did not know how to seize opportunities, causing the team to continuously receive disappointing results. Coach Vu Hong Viet is replaced by coach Dao Quang Hung to lead Quang Nam.
