In the goalkeeper position,Coach Park Hang-seohave entered the names of Bui Tan Truong (Hanoi Club), Nguyen Tuan Manh (SHB Da Nang), Nguyen Van Hoang (SLNA) and Nguyen Van Toan (Hai Phong).

This season, Tran Nguyen Manh played extremely well, contributing greatly to the championship achievement.V.Leagueand the runner-up position of the National Cup of Viettel Club. With 10 clean sheets, the former SLNA goalkeeper was voted into the typical squad of V.League 2020. This is the second consecutive time Tran Nguyen Manh has received this honor.

Coach Park Hang-seo's decision surprised experts and football fans in the country. To be fair, Tran Nguyen Manh deserves to return to the Vietnam National Team, after what he has shown during the past time. I wonder why Mr. Park did not acknowledge that?

Sharing with Nghe An Newspaper, Tran Nguyen Manh said: "I feel very surprised and regretful when I will not be present at the Vietnam National Team's training session next December. Perhaps, because I am not suitable for Coach Park's philosophy, because each person has a different choice. However, I will still try my best to practice, compete and continue to wait for more opportunities."

It is expected that the upcoming training session of the Vietnam National Team will start on December 6 and end on December 28. Phan Van Duc and his teammates will have 2 friendly matches with their juniors in the U22 Vietnam team, taking place on December 23 and 27 in Quang Ninh and Ho Chi Minh City, if conditions permit./.
