What did the rookie say when he was 'replaced' for Cong Phuong?; Coach Park fined 'bad student' Van Duc

What did the new Vietnamese national team player say when he was 'replaced' for Cong Phuong?

Vietnam’s new recruit Pham Tuan Hai is being tested by coach Park Hang-seo in the positions of attacking midfielder and striker. The striker expressed his confidence as he is integrating quite well, despite being called up to the national team for the first time.

In V.League 2020, Pham Tuan Hai played all 20 matches and scored 3 goals. After 12 rounds of the 2021 season, the striker born in 1998 has scored 4 goals for the team.

Tuan Hai shared that he plays the exact attacking midfielder position as Cong Phuong used to and is very confident: "I feel like I am integrating quickly when the team starts practicing tactics. The coaching staff assigned me to play the attacking midfielder position and also the striker position, because I am familiar with this position, I have adapted quite quickly."

Tuan Hai was born in 1998, a product of Gia Lam training center, a satellite of Hanoi FC, like Quang Hai, Duc Huy or Duy Manh. After that, he transferred to Hanoi youth football training center.

Coach Park Hang-seo switched roles as supervisor, fining 'bad student' Van Duc

After spending a whole day resting and recovering, on the afternoon of August 14, the Vietnam National Team returned to the training ground to continue preparing for the final qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup.

Instead of reminding his students as usual, Mr. Park wrote Van Duc's name on a piece of paper to punish the midfielder according to the regulations. Despite Van Duc's remorse, the 62-year-old teacher remained determined, but did not forget to smile brightly.

Instead of watching from the stands, during this training session, coach Park Hang Seo went directly down to the field to observe and urge his students to practice.

When he noticed something unusual in his students, he immediately took out a pen and paper to take notes so that he could punish them according to the rules. Van Duc was the first person to be "targeted" by the teacher. The SLNA midfielder did not wear shin guards during practice.
