Vietnam team needs to solve psychological problems
(Baonghean.vn) - Every training and competition process always brings up new problems, whether they are disadvantageous or advantageous, and the Vietnam National Team is no exception to that, as everyone knows. The problem is the proactiveness or reactiveness, foresight or narrow-mindedness, short-term or long-term concerns of the "strategists", i.e. head coaches.
Up to this point,Vietnam National TeamThere is still an internal match planned with the junior U23 VN team before finalizing the final list to go to Saudi Arabia. If there are no significant surprises, then the information about Van Lam's return or Tien Anh's complete recovery from injury, in addition to Minh Vuong's injury, the unverified information about Tuan Anh not really creating trust as usual... can suggest something in the judgment about the list that can be selected? Even good information for Tuan Tai, Tuan Hai or Xuan Truong after the internal match are "plus points" for the players, although everything is still ahead.
First of all, it would not be completely coincidental that Van Lam was called back and not called back to practice in Vietnam but to practice in the... official list in Saudi Arabia. Normally, in this list, there will be no more than 3 goalkeepers, which means that Van Toan or Van Hoang will stay and who will lose their spot is not difficult to guess?

The most important issue is who will be the pioneer and most trusted at this time? Van Lam and Tan Truong each have their own advantages. If looking for someone who has been through a lot of battles when facing strong teams, it is very possible that Mr. Park Hang-seo will trust a young person, Van Lam, not Tan Truong? But it is also possible that after one or two matches of trial, if facing difficulties, the goalkeeper position will be replaced, from the belief in someone who has been on the field more often and has been closer to his teammates recently? At that time, Tan Truong will return to nurture greater hope.
What hePark Hang-seoWhat must be done now is to add "steel" to the midfield, in specific ways. For example, starting with changing the trio of central defenders, bringing in new young people with good physique and fitness from the start like Van Thiet, Thanh Chung, and Ngoc Hai to create the last reliable stoppers? From there, add important human resources to the midfield by pulling Dinh Trong and Duy Manh up to play as number 6s to completely overcome what was seen in the previous match against UAE? There is also information that Mr. Park Hang-seo still trusts the old people in the central midfield position with the trio Xuan Truong - Van Duc - Hoang Duc...

In short, through what the teacher has tested and applied, through specific assessments and by the way a "wizard" works, no one can be sure about a framework that will be operated in the near future.
The Korean coach did not hide anything when he still allowed the press and media to work, including internal matches that were considered… information-free, but everything still leaked out like before, as a way of “playing cards face up”? Could it be that everything is still a smokescreen, causing information chaos, and the reality will be something that will surprise the opponent, leaving them unable to react in time?
In the context of the pandemic and different quarantine regulations of different countries, when V. League was officially canceled, the early gathering of the Vietnam National Team was an obvious advantage. Although fluctuations in the force are inevitable (such as player injuries), this is certainly still the period when the players are maintaining their form, full of energy to compete and contribute.

Perhaps, the third round is very close to the prestigious World Cup Finals, the once-in-a-century dream is therefore also very close, but that is not the first, only, mandatory thing because the formidable opponent is not easy to overcome ahead. After all the calculations of Mr. Park Hang-seo, the most needed thing right now is a "psychological problem" for his students. How can the "Golden Star Warriors" always be confident, always "burn" themselves out, absolutely not entangled in any tension. Who knows, from there, they will together create a surprise, a real shock?
