MU: Henderson; Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw; Matic, Fred (McTominay 74'); Greenwood, Fernandes, Rashford; Cavani (Daniel James 76').

Why doesn't Vietnam have any Southeast Asian legend players?

Italy's All Asian Football newspaper recently announced the 11 best Southeast Asian players of all time.

There are no Vietnamese names! This is a pity because in our history we have had famous names not only in Southeast Asia but also in Asia such as “all-rounder” Pham Van Rang, Vinh “wolf”… A little later in the South there are Tam Lang, Ho Thanh Cang…; in the North there are Tran Van Khanh, Trong Giap, The Anh, Le Thuy Hai…

If Vietnamese football had integrated internationally earlier, with Cao Cuong (right) and the 1971 The Cong players, the SEA Games gold medal would not have had to wait 60 years.

It was not until the 20th century that Vietnamese football had its first Southeast Asian championship with the generation of Minh Phuong, Duong Hong Son, Cong Vinh, Nhu Thanh..., but that was also the only one. 10 years later, it was truly the "golden generation" when they made the miracle of becoming runner-up in the U.23 Asian Cup, winning the championship.AFF Cup2nd time, entered the semi-finals of Asiad, quarter-finals of Asian Cup and SEA Games gold medal "60 years of life".

However, Quang Hai, Cong Phuong, Tuan Anh, Dinh Trong, Van Hau… are just at the beginning stage. To become legends of all time, they must affirm and maintain their talent and reputation on the international stage throughout their football career.

The only coach in Southeast Asia who has never lost to Coach Park received a "secret order"

Coach Akira Nishino was ordered by the Football Association of Thailand (FAT) to prepare two options for the Thai team.

According to Thai media, Coach Akira Nishino returned to Thailand on February 26. The Japanese coach is currently in quarantine before officially working with his colleagues.

However, during this time, Mr. Nishino still watches the players on television and video tapes to prepare for the Thai team.

Regarding the Thai team, the Golden Temple team is currently ranked third in Group G with 8 points, 1 point behind Malaysia, 3 points behind Vietnam and 2 points ahead of UAE. To qualify for the next round, coach Nishino and his team need to win at least 7 more points in the remaining 3 matches (against UAE, Indonesia and Malaysia), which is not an easy task.

Mr. Nishino is the only coach in Southeast Asia who has never lost to Coach Park Hang-seo when facing each other. In the two meetings in the World Cup qualifiers, the two sides were tied.

What does coach Park Hang-seo suggest to VFF for big goals?

The goal of Park Hang-seo and his team is to advance to the second qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup, reach the final round of the U-23 Asia Championship, defend the AFF Cup championship and win the football gold medal at the 31st SEA Games.

For Mr. Park, the biggest and most important goal is the World Cup. V-League will restart from March 13 and compete at a high frequency until April 18, completing the 10th round, then temporarily stopping to give the field to the national team. The Korean coach wants to have 3 weeks of training before entering the second qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup, continuing with the remaining three matches from the beginning of June.

Mr. Park Hang-seo said that he will continue to maintain daily meetings with his assistants to discuss professional issues for the team, assign people to watch V-League matches to evaluate the players' performance, and look for factors. The return of V-League 2021 matches is a very favorable condition to help the players maintain their best form when the team gathers again.
