Nghe An goalkeeper was registered by coach Park Hang-seo, Ha Minh Tuan was eliminated before the match with Thailand.
(Baonghean.vn) - One day before the big match with Thailand, Coach Park Hang-seo officially finalized the list of Vietnam team with 23 players. Accordingly, goalkeeper Pham Van Cuong from Hung Nguyen, Nghe An was retained.
Striker Ha Minh Tuan is a rookie among 24 players that coach Park Hang-seo brought to Thailand to prepare for the match in the second qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup. Immediately after Doan Van Hau returned to the team, coach Park Hang-seo finalized the final list to register for the match.
Ha Minh Tuan's exclusion did not surprise many people because he has not fully recovered from his injury and is not at his best. The striker who is playing for Quang Nam has scored 7 goals in the V.League, and was expected by Mr. Park to bring a breakthrough to the Vietnamese team's attack when Ha Duc Chinh lost his form and Tien Linh had just returned from injury.

Thus, according to FIFA's request, the Vietnam national team registered the list for the match against Thailand with 3 goalkeepers Dang Van Lam, Nguyen Tuan Manh, Pham Van Cuong. In the past few days, Tuan Manh has had a sore eye and Van Cuong, a goalkeeper from Nghe An who is playing for Quang Nam Club, could be the number 2 goalkeeper of the Vietnam national team.
Along with that, coach Park Hang-seo will have strikers Nguyen Anh Duc, Nguyen Van Toan, Nguyen Cong Phuong and Nguyen Tien Linh. Thus, the strongest squad of the Vietnam national team against Thailand is predicted to include goalkeeper Dang Van Lam.

The three central defenders are Que Ngoc Hai, Do Duy Manh and Bui Tien Dung. Guarding the left wing will be Doan Van Hau, the opposite wing will be Trong Hoang. The central midfield duo for this match will most likely be Do Hung Dung and Nguyen Huy Hung.
In which, Huy Hung's task is to block Chanathip on the Thai side while Hung Dung is the one who coordinates the ball and regulates the gameplay. Midfielder Quang Hai and Cong Phuong will be the two most worthy players to play as attacking midfielders for striker Anh Duc up front.
