Nguyen Manh returns to Vietnam team.

The fact that Coach Park Hang-seo has called him back can be considered very good news for goalkeeper Tran Nguyen Manh, after a long absence from the Vietnam National Team's training sessions. Previously, in 2019, Nguyen Manh was called up to the national team by Coach Park Hang-seo, but he suffered an injury and missed the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers.

Nguyen Manh is considered one of the most special goalkeepers in Vietnamese football. He does not have a tall physique like Van Lam, Tan Truong or Van Toan, but he possesses excellent reflexes and unbelievable ball-saving moves. That strength helped Nguyen Manh become the main goalkeeper of the Vietnamese national team under coaches Toshiya Miura and Nguyen Huu Thang.

The Vietnam National Team also includes 4 young players from the U22 group, namely Le Van Xuan, Bui Hoang Viet Anh, Ly Cong Hoang Anh and Nguyen Thanh Binh. These 4 players will initially train with the Vietnam U22 Team to prepare for the 2022 AFC U23 Championship Qualifiers. Therefore, the number of players in the Vietnam National Team during the upcoming training period will be 29.

After a week of camp break, the Vietnamese team resumed training on September 16 at the VFF Youth Football Training Center.
