U23 Vietnam - U23 Jordan: Viet Anh or Tan Tai?
(Baonghean.vn) - Viet Anh was one of the worst players on the U23 Vietnam side in the match against U23 UAE, and Tan Tai has finished his suspension. So, who will be in charge of the right-back position in the upcoming match against U23 Jordan?
Contrary to the reactions of domestic football fans, coach Park Hang-seo still highly appreciated the performance of the former defender of Hong Linh Ha Tinh Club. The Korean strategist affirmed: "Viet Anh is a new player but has completed the task of replacing Tan Tai well. Tan Tai will return in the next match and we have 2 days to decide who will play in this position."
Despite being protected by Coach Park, the possibility of Viet Anh being in the starting lineup in the match against U23 Jordan is quite fragile. Objectively speaking, the player born in 1999 was the "weakest link" in the U23 Vietnam defense system in the last match. It seems that Viet Anh is feeling confused and lacking confidence in his first time playing in a position other than his forte.

With such a performance, along with the return of his senior Tan Tai, the chance for Viet Anh to continue playing in the starting position of right-back for U23 Vietnam in the match against U23 Jordan is extremely small. Don't forget, except for SEA Games 30, Tan Tai is Coach Park Hang-seo's number 1 choice for the right-back position for U23 Vietnam in recent times.

Most likely, with his proven class, the player from Binh Dinh will be assigned by coach Park Hang-seo to take on the right-back position in the upcoming match against U23 Jordan. This is also the prediction of the majority of experts and football fans in the country./.
