Coach Park 'looks at' 3 new faces to add to the national team
(Baonghean.vn) - In the near future, Coach Park Hang-seo and his colleagues will go to Europe to evaluate the abilities of 3 overseas Vietnamese players who have been rated by the VFF with the aim of adding strength to the Vietnamese national team, aiming towards the big goals of Vietnamese football in 2019.
The most notable Vietnamese-American player in this "leg-watching" trip of coach Park Hang-seo and also receiving the most attention from fans is strikerAlexander Dang- who is playing in the Norwegian first division for Nest-Sotra IL.
Born in 1990 and 1m84 tall, the striker whose father is Vietnamese has had a good scoring record in recent years with 21 goals/25 matches in 2017 and 14 goals in 32 appearances in 2018.
The center forward position in the national team is also the position that makes Vietnamese football fans feel the most uneasy because Duc Chinh, Tien Linh,... have never played consistently in the national team's jersey and have also created big questions about their own performance recently in the jerseys of their clubs.

Another player who also received a lot of attention from fans isFilip NguyenHe is currently the main goalkeeper for Slovan Liberec Club in the Czech Republic National Championship. He is also a classmate of famous goalkeeper Petr Cech.
Possessing an impressive height of 1m90, born on September 14, 1992, only 27 years old this year, this goalkeeper does not leave much controversy about his professional level.
This position also does not affect the overall gameplay too much, so if he can overcome other conditions to make coach Park Hang-seo satisfied, the goalkeeper position in the national team will promise to have a tense competition between Filip and Van Lam, Tuan Manh, Nguyen Manh, ...

Jason Quang Vinh,The player currently playing for FC Sochaux-Montbéliard in France's Ligue 2 is also a name that receives special attention.
This player has a Vietnamese mother and a French father and has been called up to the French U18 team.
According to Transfermarkt, winger Jason Pendant is valued at 600,000 Euros, equivalent to nearly 16 billion VND. He currently has a contract with his home club Sochaux until June 2020.
This is probably also one of the Vietnamese players with the brightest profile ever. Jason Quang Vinh's preferred playing position is left-back, which Doan Van Hau currently plays for the national team. If he returns to Vietnam to wear the red shirt, the left-back position will be where coach Park Hang-seo and fans can feel more secure with the choice between two highly regarded talents because of their impressive achievements compared to their age.
