Vietnam Team: Many "big guns", Coach Park Hang Seo is still worried
Possessing a formidable squad of strikers with many goals in the V-League, the question of how to score in the upcoming AFF Cup is still making coach Park Hang Seo worried as the Vietnamese team lacks a great striker.
Many strikers...
Looking at the list of players preparing for the AFF Cup, Coach Park Hang Seo was careful and determined not to miss any outstanding strikers in the 2018 V-League when calling up to 9 strikers for the Vietnam team.
Not only numerous, the number of goals scored by the strikers that coach Park Hang Seo called up to the Vietnam national teamis also a lot. Even the team's attack at this time is considered the strongest in the past few years.

| Vietnam team currently has many good strikers in V-League. |
More specifically, Coach Park Hang Seo has the former top scorer of the 2017 season, Anh Duc, Cong Phuong - who is breaking his own scoring record, or Tien Linh, the striker with the highest efficiency in V-League 2018...
Besides, Van Quyet, Quoc Chi, Ha Duc Chinh and Quang Hai... have also had a successful career with a high number of goals for the club. Mentally calculating, the 9 strikers that coach Park Hang Seo called up to the national team also contributed 80 goals for the home team last season, not to mention the midfield also showed excellence in scoring goals in the V-League...
The difficult problem of public goods
Up to now, after more than 1 year of coming to Vietnamese football and achieving countless unexpected successes, the teams under coach Park Hang Seo are not good at scoring goals.
The matches in which Coach Park Hang Seo's team scored the most goals up to this point were the matches against U23 Iraq (U23 Asian Cup) and against Pakistan (Asiad 18) when they both scored 3 goals.
The rest, the situation of only scoring 1-2 goals in official match time is very common and not only happened at the U23 Asian Cup Finals but also lasted until the Asiad and spread to the only match of the Vietnamese team since coach Park Hang Seo took charge in the Asian Cup qualifiers against Afghanistan.

| However, when entering tournaments, strikers like Cong Phuong cannot demonstrate their best abilities. |
More specifically, at the U23 Asian Cup, Coach Park Hang Seo's team scored 8 goals in 6 matches, and at the Asiad it was 10 goals in the same number of matches, showing that this is not a high performance, despite the fact that the Korean coach always owns strikers who are considered the most talented and excellent in Vietnamese football at the present time.
Of course, it is difficult to ask coach Park Hang Seo's team to score more goals when in the last 2 tournaments, U23 Vietnam has always been the... underdog, and because of playing carefully, it has also brought the best results in the history of national football in 2 continental playgrounds.
But whatever is said, the low scoring efficiency will really be a concern for the Vietnamese team if they want to win the championship in the context of the semi-finals having to play a home and away match, so the chance of scoring one or two goals is really too fragile.
If the problem of the attack is solved, the Vietnamese team will be much more fearsome. Otherwise, the pain like the AFF Cup 2016 will return, when the key to the failure at that time was that the strikers that Coach Huu Thang had in hand had very poor finishing...
