Coach Park still has a lot of work to do with the Vietnam team.

After more than a week of release from camp, September 16Vietnam teamhas refocused to prepare for the away matches next month with China and Oman.

Despite losing to Saudi Arabia and Australia, the red-shirted warriors still created great confidence in their fans.

The biggest bright spot in the recent matches of the Vietnamese team seems to be mainly the resilient fighting spirit, but in terms of expertise, insiders still have reasons to want coach Park Hang-seo to make more changes with the home team.

Of course, the Korean strategist also knows this, so in the next 3 weeks he will definitely focus all his efforts on handling the remaining problems in order to achieve better results in the upcoming matches.

The first problem that coach Park Hang-seo must solve if he does not want to face many risks in the future is the same old story - personnel for the Vietnam team.

Basically, with the framework used for the past 4 years, the Vietnamese team now needs some adjustments and reinforcements instead of constantly relying on veterans who are not always in good health or form.

Take the cases of Tan Truong and Trong Hoang for example, it is difficult for these veterans to maintain high performance for a long time due to their age or the injury challenges of the defensive pillars that once made coach Park Hang-seo struggle, for example.

Reinforcing the Vietnamese team's personnel from the reserve players to adding more backup players with recent additions is certainly something that coach Park Hang-seo must do if he wants to go far.

Obviously, facing strong opponents like Saudi Arabia and Australia is not easy for the strikers to play as well as in previous matches, but that does not mean that the strikers in the Vietnamese team are okay.

In other words, the system and attacking plans that coach Park Hang-seo built for his team still seemed too perfectionist and conservative (in the case of Van Duc). Therefore, even though the opponent played quite loosely at the end of the match, the Vietnamese team played relatively deadlocked.

Therefore, the problem is still that the Korean strategist must recalculate the attack, even take risks to help the Vietnamese team bring more joy to fans in the upcoming matches.

The return of Cong Phuong, and the task of building new personnel for the Vietnamese team, is perhaps a suggestion for coach Park Hang-seo to change the attack by using new players instead of waiting for Tien Linh alone, or the sublime plays from Quang Hai's feet.

The problems that coach Park Hang-seo needs to solve are not new, and would not even be difficult if the Korean strategist were more open instead of being conservative like before.

The 3rd qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup is no longer a matter of winning or losing, so coach Park Hang-seo should untie the knot!
