Tran Nguyen Manh: "Van Lam is the number 1 goalkeeper, the team's victory is paramount"
(Baonghena.vn) – Before leaving for Thailand to attend the King's Cup, goalkeeper Tran Nguyen Manh shared his feelings after 3 years of returning to wear the national team jersey.
Since the time of Coach Toshiya Miura and Coach Huu Thang, Nguyen Manh has always been the number 1 goalkeeper of the national team. However, the remarkable progress of goalkeeper Dang Van Lam has made the SLNA captain no longer the team's top goalkeeper.

Having an impressive performance in SLNA's shirt at V.League 2019 and being called up to the national team for the first time by coach Park Hang-seo, Nguyen Manh shared: "After 3 years, I was able to return to the national team. I feel very happy and surprised because my efforts have been rewarded.
Currently, Van Lam is still the number 1 goalkeeper of the national team and I only know that I will try my best. I don't think I have to be the main goalkeeper, whoever has the ability will be trusted and the victory of the Vietnam team is paramount. Everyone thinks that I have the advantage in terms of experience and good footwork, but Van Lam and Van Toan both have good performances for their clubs."
In the match against Saigon, Nguyen Manh and his teammates got a valuable point. He was injured at the end of the match, however, according to the SLNA captain, Nguyen Manh's injury is not serious.
This afternoon (June 1), Nguyen Manh and the Vietnam national team will depart for Thailand to participate in the King's Cup 2019. In this friendly tournament, the Vietnam national team will directly face the Thailand national team. Coach Park Hang-seo and his team will have 3 training sessions in Buriram to prepare for the opening match with Thailand, taking place on June 5.
The winner of this match will play against the winner of the India-Curacao match. The 2019 King's Cup will be held from June 5-8 at Chang Arena (Buriram)./.
