Ba Duc and Tien Linh were allowed to leave practice early.

Yesterday, the players who had to play the late matches of round 14 of V.League 2019, including Viet Trieu, Vu Tin, Van Buu, Tien Linh, and Viet Cuong, were present with their teammates in U22 Vietnam. Because they had enough players, Mr. Park quickly had his students practice tactics to assemble the team.

However, he did not put too much pressure on the players, especially those who had just experienced matches in the V.League. Therefore, in yesterday's training session, the Korean coach allowed Tien Linh and Ba Duc to rest early.
