Trong Hoang stretches his muscles, Que Ngoc Hai wears a jacket to practice in the hot sun in Malaysia

The original plan of the Vietnam National Team was to practice in the afternoon, but coach Park Hang-seo suddenly changed it, letting the whole team practice on the field at a rather hot time, at 10:15, when the outside temperature was at 33-35 degrees Celsius.

According to a member of the Vietnamese team's coaching staff, Coach Park unexpectedly let the players practice at noon to help them quickly get used to the weather conditions in Kuala Lumpur. The weather in Kuala Lumpur is quite hot in the morning but relatively cool in the afternoon.

During the afternoon training session (December 8), Coach Park Hang-seo spent some time talking privately with the right-back of the Vietnam national team. According to the investigation of reporters, the player from Nghe An, born in 1989, did not suffer any serious injuries.

However, because Trong Hoang has played for the Vietnam national team in most matches since the beginning of the AFF Cup 2018, there are signs of overload and mild muscle strain.

Accordingly, Trong Hoang will have to practice recovery according to the specific training plan of the Vietnam National Team's coaching staff. According to the Vietnam National Team's doctors, he can completely play in the final match of the Vietnam National Team against Malaysia on December 11.

All the players are in good physical condition. Meanwhile, Van Toan's ability to play is still uncertain as the HAGL player continued to practice separately with the doctor on the morning of December 8.

Also this afternoon, the Malaysian team had an open practice session in front of domestic and international media. However, the home team did not practice at the main Bukit Jalil stadium but practiced at a university stadium, far from the city center. Before the official practice session on the field, the two teams will continue to practice one more session tomorrow (December 9).

In the capital of Malaysia, Coach Park Hang-seo and his team are stationed at Hilton Petaling Jaya, a 4-star hotel about 15km from Bukit Jalil National Stadium.
