Goalkeeper Ho Tung Han: 'Ready to compete and contribute to U22 Vietnam'
Goalkeeper Ho Tung Han aims to be included in the official list of the Vietnam U22 team, participating in the 33rd SEA Games at the end of this year.
On the afternoon of March 12, the U22 Vietnam team continued to train at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center. Before the training session, goalkeeper Ho Tung Han shared with the media about his experience competing in Singapore, the process of integrating with the team, and his personal goals in the near future.
Ho Tung Han, born in 2003, is currently playing for Balestier Khalsa Club in Singapore on loan from Da Nang Club. He has had the opportunity to play in two consecutive matches, including his first starting match in the Singapore National Championship on March 7.
In this match, despite conceding 3 goals, he was still highly appreciated for his important saves, contributing to the home team's 4-3 victory over Geylang International.
When asked whether playing in Singapore is an advantage when returning to wear the U22 Vietnam shirt, Ho Tung Han modestly said: "I only consider it a mental advantage. As for expertise, I think I need to try harder to meet the requirements of the coaching staff."
In this training session, U22 Vietnam welcomed the presence of overseas Vietnamese player Viktor Le. Realizing that Viktor had difficulty communicating due to the language barrier, Ho Tung Han proactively helped him integrate into the team. He shared: "I saw that he did not talk much with everyone, while I knew how to speak a little English, so I proactively talked to Viktor Le, helping him integrate and connect with everyone more easily. He is quite shy."
With the experience gained from competing in Singapore, Ho Tung Han aims to be included in the U22 Vietnam team participating in the 33rd SEA Games taking place at the end of this year. He expressed: "My dream is to compete in the 33rd SEA Games. I will try my best in training and competing to be able to be included in the team participating in this tournament."
Currently, in the U22 Vietnam squad, the goalkeeper position is fiercely competitive among players such as Trung Kien, Cao Van Binh, Nguyen Tan and Ho Tung Han. Trung Kien has the advantage of height and experience, but Ho Tung Han with his international competition experience is also a strong candidate for the team's number 1 goalkeeper position at the 33rd SEA Games.
With a progressive spirit and constant efforts, Ho Tung Han is gradually asserting himself in the U22 Vietnam jersey, aiming for the highest goal at the upcoming 33rd SEA Games./.
