Coach Park shortens the list of Vietnam team, which names will be crossed out?
(Baonghean.vn) - Van Hau, Tien Anh... face the risk of losing their spots when coach Park Hang-seo shortens the list of Vietnam's team going to Saudi Arabia.
With 31 players in hand,Coach Park Hang-seowill be reduced to 23 - 25 players to bring to Saudi Arabia to prepare for the opening match of the final qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup in Asia.
Currently, coach Park Hang-seo still maintains the same number of players for training, however, many names are soon assessed as unlikely to have a place in the Vietnamese team.

Notably, on his personal page, midfielder Tien Anh posted a meaningful status: "The most beautiful last days".
In fact, there are not many opportunities for a rookie like Tien Anh, not to mention he is having an injury problem and has had to miss practice in recent days.
In addition to Tien Anh, the two remaining new recruits of the Vietnamese team, Truong Van Thiet and Pham Tuan Hai, are also doubtful about their ability to compete for a place in Saudi Arabia. Under coach Park Hang-seo, new faces who do not demonstrate exceptional ability will find it difficult to be used.
In addition, Coach Park also ruled out injuries, most notably defender Doan Van Hau. Since joining the national team, the Thai Binh player has not been able to practice with the team.
Coach Park Hang-seo using Van Hau at this time is too risky, and Vietnam's number 1 left-back will be "reserved" once his knee cartilage injury has fully recovered.
Coach Park Hang-seo's criteria for selecting players is always based on performance and suitability to the playing style. Therefore, faces like Ho Tuan Tai, Ly Cong Hoang Anh, Van Xuan... also face the risk of being absent at the last minute.

Having eliminated nearly 10 players, Coach Park Hang-seo may add Cong Phuong and Van Lam at the last minute. The Korean coach will consider it, because Cong Phuong is not on the list of 31 players due to family matters, and Van Lam was not released by his club early.
The Vietnamese team has 10 more training sessions, including 1-2 internal training matches with the "blue team" U22 Vietnam. Coach Park Hang-seo and his team will fly to Saudi Arabia on August 27.
