What did the captain of the Vietnam national team say about head coach Park Hang Seo?
(Baonghean.vn) -This morning (November 7), under the leadership of new head coach Park Hang Seo, the Vietnam National Team entered its first training session to prepare for the match against Afghanistan in the 2019 Asian Cup qualifiers.
Because the players have just gathered after competing in round 24 of the V-League, it is understandable that the amount of exercises that Mr. Park Hang Seo gave was quite light, mainly exercises to help restore physical strength and ball feel.
Although it was only a warm-up for the campaign to prepare for the match with Afghanistan, the fresh atmosphere created by new coach Park Hang Seo was enough to make the players feel very happy and full of excitement.

It is a bit regrettable that today's training session the team cannot have full strength because the players of Quang Nam Club (goalkeeper Van Cuong, midfielder Huy Hung, Thanh Trung), Than Quang Ninh (midfielder Minh Tuan) and B.Binh Duong (striker Anh Duc) will join the team late due to the match in V-League and National Cup.
At the meeting last night, the team also elected an executive committee. Accordingly, the captaincy was continued to be held by Nguyen Van Quyet. The two vice-captains were Dinh Thanh Trung and Luong Xuan Truong.
Speaking to the press after the first training session this morning (November 7), captain Van Quyet shared his first impressions of coach Park Hang Seo. According to Van Quyet, coach Park Hang Seo's football philosophy is to emphasize discipline.

"In my opinion, everything is very suitable for Vietnamese football and the players like us all feel very happy and comfortable. However, we will have to try very hard to complete what coach Park Hang Seo and the coaching staff require," Van Quyet said.
In response to the press's question about whether there is concern that Coach Park Hang Seo does not have enough time to understand Vietnamese football, Van Quyet replied: "Coach Park Hang Seo was selected by the VFF and the National Coaching Council, so he is definitely a good coach.
I know that, in addition to learning about Vietnamese football through television and the internet, Coach Park Hang Seo has also traveled to football fields across the country to learn more about the V-League and select new players for the team. However, in my opinion, Coach Park Hang Seo still needs more time to do his job well, to understand the players, thereby promoting the strengths of each person"./.
