U22 Vietnam debuts, Coach Park plays his cards face up; Coach Nishino's contract is extended by Thailand for 4 years

Vietnam first practice session in the Philippines

Coach Park Hang-seo and his team spent an hour getting acquainted with Rizal Memorial Stadium on the afternoon of November 23, to prepare for the matches at SEA Games 30.

Trong Hoang (number 8) took the opportunity to chat and share experiences with his juniors. He is one of two over-age players of U22 Vietnam, alongside Do Hung Dung.

The men's football tournament will be held at Binan Stadium and Rizal Stadium, about 40 km apart, both with artificial turf. On the afternoon of November 23, Vietnam will get acquainted with Rizal Stadium, then tomorrow practice at Binan Stadium - where the team will meet Brunei (November 25), Laos (November 28) and Thailand (December 5).

U22 Vietnam starts SEA Games, Coach Park plays his cards face up

Although U22 Vietnam entered SEA Games 30 against a much weaker Brunei, coach Park Hang-seo will likely still field the strongest lineup, before using a trick to... blind the opponent.

But who to play, whether to play face up or face down is something that Mr. Park has to worry about.

However, even though he can show his cards to his opponents, it is likely that the Korean strategist will also know how to hide his cards, or make clever calculations for U22 Vietnam before entering the more important matches ahead.

After working for a few months, Coach Nishino was invited by Thailand to sign a 4-year contract.

The Thai Football Federation is raising the possibility of extending the contract with coach Nishino for another 2 years. The coach's contract is only a few months old and will expire in 2021, but the Thai people want a longer contract.

After a period of good performance, Nishino is gaining the trust of the Thai Football Federation's leadership.

Before the proposal to extend his contract soon, Coach Nishino said that he would be honored to be extended by the Football Association of Thailand. Even if his contract is not extended, he still sees great potential in Thai players.
