Vietnam - Australia: Bui Tan Truong or Dang Van Lam?
(Baonghean.vn) - It is not known whether Bui Tan Truong or Dang Van Lam will be used by Coach Park Hang-seo in the match between the Vietnamese team and the Australian team, taking place at My Dinh Stadium at 7:00 p.m. on September 7?
Coach Park Hang-seo surprised experts and football fans in the country when he named Bui Tan Truong in the starting lineup for the match against Saudi Arabia, despite the presence of Dang Van Lam. Because, since taking over the hot seat in the Vietnam National Team, Lam "Tay" has always been the number 1 choice of the Korean strategist for the goalkeeper position.

Objectively, Dang Van Lam has completed the assigned task excellently. The contribution of the goalkeeper currently playing for Cerezo Osaka Club to the overall achievements of the Vietnam National Team over the past time is extremely large. However, Coach Park Hang-seo made a very "brave" decision to continue using Bui Tan Truong as in the last 3 matches of the 2nd qualifying round.
And Bui Tan Truong played quite impressively, with some amazing saves. If it weren't for the brilliance of the goalkeeper from Dong Thap, the number of goals conceded by the Vietnamese team would have been much higher than the number of goals conceded by the home team Saudi Arabia. It is very likely that in the upcoming match against the Australian team, Coach Park Hang-seo will put his trust in Bui Tan Truong again.

In many aspects, the goalkeeper born in 1986 completely deserves that. In addition to his convincing performance against the UAE Team and further against the UAE Team, the Malaysian Team and the Indonesian Team, Bui Tan Truong is not inferior to Dang Van Lam in terms of height (both 1m88) and the ability to catch high balls. The players of the Australian Team are very good at aerial combat (average height 1m82, first in Group B).
In addition, the defense of the Vietnam team in the match against the Australian team will have some regrettable absences, for various reasons. While Do Duy Manh is suspended, Tran Dinh Trong and Doan Van Hau are recovering from injuries. Therefore, it is likely that Coach Park Hang-seo will proactively avoid disruption in the team's defense. Therefore, Bui Tan Truong will continue to be highly valued by Coach Park./.
