According to the registration list, the coach chose a 3-4-3 tactical scheme, with strikers Van Duc, Tien Linh, Quang Hai, midfield with Van Hau, Xuan Truong, Hoang Duc, Trong Hoang, row. The defenders are still 3 names Tien Dung, Ngoc Hai and Duy Manh, the goalkeeper position is still Tan Truong. With this scheme, we can switch to 5-4-1 to defend or 3-5-2 to attack and threaten your team’s goal. With the intention of hitting quickly, winning quickly, right from the opening whistle, all UAE players pressed VN to the home field, many attack plans were given by the UAE, but Sao warriors Gold covers each other very well. 30 minutes, both teams take a break to rehydrate. After the rehydration time, the UAE organized an attack immediately, while the players we had were not in the right position, the player Ali Salmeen (5) had the ball on the right wing and shot, knocking Tan Truong down. 32 minutes, 1:0 for UAE. Losing first, the Vietnamese players were a bit rushed, instead of keeping the ball firmly and deploying upwards, the players were swept up in the UAE’s play, which is what the UAE expected, with better health. , a more skillful technical level, made the VN team unable to deploy the ball upward, the role of the central midfielders was also overshadowed by the close-pressing style of the team’s players. 39′ VN got a penalty kick because goalkeeper Tan Truong fouled the striker and Mabkhout (7) scored the second goal for UAE and also the 11th goal in the WC qualifying for this player. After the second goal, the UAE actively reduced the tempo to preserve the score. Our players are still persistent and clingy, but we can’t change the situation. I don’t know if it’s the absence of Mr. Park on the bench, but the Vietnamese players are completely passive in front of your team. The clustering with the majority to limit the attacks of the UAE is not a good measure. Because Vietnam defended with a large number, Tien Linh alone was completely ineffective. In the second half, the UAE players reduced their tempo, they were no longer as massive as the first half, but they were still waiting for the arrival of Vietnamese players. 51′ UAE has a nice combination, ending with a header by defender Khamees () 3:0 for UAE Leading 3:0, the UAE players are somewhat loose, they no longer have the upper hand, but only pass each other in the home field. In the 61st minute, Cong Phuong broke through in the penalty area and was knocked down, the referee did not give a penalty. Our players increased closeness and then the opportunity came, 85′ Quang Hai won the ball in the opponent’s legs, passed it to Minh Vuong, Minh Vuong trimmed the ball past 2 UAE defenders for Tien Linh to enter and goal for Vietnam. This is a team goal, the sharpness and agility of Minh Vuong, true to the qualities that we have practiced and used in the previous matches. Although one goal was removed, the UAE players still passed the ball to each other in the home field. In the 80th minute, the Lima naturalized player had a beautiful volley, fortunately Tan Truong was able to push it out. The UAE players do not know if they are tired or want to keep the score 3: 1, but they mainly pass the ball to each other in the home field. In the third minute of injury time, Duc Huy stole the ball from the opponent’s defender’s foot, the ball was passed to 2, 3 Vietnamese players and the last one, Minh Vuong, scored a goal to shorten the score to 3:2 for the VN team. In the last minutes, the Vietnamese players played better, we continuously pressed the UAE players to the home field, due to too little time, we had to accept losing to the UAE with a tight score of 2:3. In the second half, we replaced all 5 players, Xuan Truong, Van Duc, Hoang Duc, Van Hau, Trong Hoang with Duc Huy, Cong Phuong, Minh Vuong, Hong Duy and Van Toan, the new players did for VN’s play is better, especially Minh Vuong, who has 1 goal and 1 assist. Although we lost, we still got into the 12 strong teams of Asia with the position of one of the best runner-up teams. At the same time, Vietnam can directly enter the 2023 Asian Cup finals without having to play a qualifying round. Vietnam is the first team of Southeast Asia to achieve this achievement. Congratulations to the Vietnamese players. We will also be able to follow the Gold Star warriors in the 3rd qualifying round to win votes to attend the 2022 football world finals. The third qualifying round will consist of 12 teams divided into 2 groups, the teams will play the first leg and return, select the 4 first and second teams from the 2 groups to go directly to the WC, the 2 3rd place teams will also meet to go and return, the winner will play against a team in another continent for the final round of WC 2022 in Qatar. The fact that VN is in the 3rd round is an honor and also a responsibility for the players and the coach team of Mr. Park, we must train from physical to professional, must have many quality shots to be able to dispute. with the top football teams in Asia.

Vietnam’s squad has only one change compared to the 2-1 victory over Malaysia, which is Quang Hai’s return to the main squad after suspension for Cong Phuong. 1 hour 13 minutes ago Award for Vietnam team The Vietnamese team received a mental “doping dose” before the match. PHOTO: ANH THANH In order to encourage the spirit of the Vietnamese team before the key match against the UAE, Hung Thinh Corporation offers a reward of 2 billion dong for the teachers and coaches of Park Hang-seo if they draw or win the UAE. 1 hour 16 minutes ago The referee controls the match The referee controls the match between Vietnam and the UAE. The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has appointed Iraqi referee Ali Sabah Adday Al-qaysi to start the match between Vietnam and the UAE. The two assistant referees, Mr. Hayder Abdulhasan Ali Ubaydee and Ammer Dawood Hussen, are both Iraqi. The fourth referee is Mr. Ammar Ebrahim Hasan Mahfoodh of Bahrain. Mr. Ali Sabah, 44 years old, has been a FIFA referee since the age of 25 and has a lot of experience in catching international tournaments. Most recently, he controlled the match UAE beat Malaysia 4-0. Referee Ali Sabah was born in 1977, became a FIFA referee at the age of 25 and has a lot of experience in international tournaments. Most recently, he was the moderator of the match between the UAE and Malaysia on June 3. Mr. Ali Sabah has also held the whistle many times in matches of Vietnamese football at all levels, typically Vietnam’s 0-2 loss to Australia in the 2016 Asian U-23 group stage or 3-0 victory over Laos in the group stage. AFF Cup 2014. He served as the table referee (the fourth referee) in the matches Vietnam drew 2-2 Indonesia in the AFF Cup 2014, beat Kyrgyzstan 1-0 at Asiad 2014 and won Macau 7-1 in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers. 1 hour 17 minutes ago Confrontation history The race between the UAE and Vietnam promises to be dramatic. PHOTO: ANH PHUONG According to statistics, Vietnam and the UAE have met a total of 13 times at all levels of the team. Vietnam only won the UAE 2 times, but those are all important matches. It was a 2-0 victory in the 2004 Asian Cup group stage at home to help Vietnam eliminate the UAE and for the first time in history to participate in the quarterfinals of the biggest tournament in Asia at the team level. At the end of 2019, the Vietnamese team also defeated 10 UAE players 1-0 at My Dinh home in the first leg of the 2022 World Cup qualifying round thanks to Tien Linh’s only goal. Notably, under Coach Park Hang-seo, Vietnam has never lost to the UAE in the official 90 minutes. In addition to the victory in the first leg of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, Mr. Park’s U-23 Vietnam drew 0-0 with U-23 UAE in the 2020 Asian U-23 group stage. In the 2018 Asian Games, the Vietnamese Olympic Games Men and UAE drew 1-1 after 90 minutes of play. Olympic Vietnam only accepted defeat on penalties against UAE with a score of 3-4. 1 hour 18 minutes ago What did the coaches of both teams say? Vietnam coach Park Hang-seo, “We will face a team that is significantly different from the one we have faced and won in Hanoi before. At the moment, the UAE is progressing a lot and they have excellent players. Namely the trio of Ali Mabkhout, Fabio Lima and Caio Canedo. These are the most dangerous players in the world. In the UAE squad, they have not only stars that endanger opponents, but also other players that surprise anyone.” Coach Bert Van Marwijk was forced to find a way to help the UAE win against Vietnam. PHOTO: ANH PHUONG Coach Bert Van Marwijk of the UAE, “Although Vietnam is a very strong team, we are confident that we will leave with 3 points. They beat us in the first leg. But if we compare that match with the current lineup, I think we are stronger than the loss in the first leg. Everyone is aware of their responsibility in the game. And all the players are ready to deliver a winnable performance against strong opponents. The pre-tournament training helped us a lot. We worked hard to develop our game and it paid off. The UAE scores quite a few goals but what’s important to me is the result, not the goal.” 1 hour 19 minutes ago Force situation Tuan Anh could not rematch UAE because of injury. PHOTO: ANH PHUONG Coach Park Hang-seo crossed 6 names before this decisive match. Accordingly, 6 players who are not in the Vietnam squad to meet the UAE are defenders Le Van Xuan, Bui Hoang Viet Anh, Ho Tan Tai, midfielder Ly Cong Hoang Anh along with 2 players who are being treated for injuries. guards Nguyen Tuan Anh and Nguyen Hai Long. Meanwhile, the UAE has the strongest force to confront Vietnam, most notably the three naturalized names of South American origin including Debastian Tagliabue, Fabio Lima and Caio Canedo. In addition, the UAE also owns a very formidable striker who is constantly “shooting” Ali Mabkhout. Ali Mabkhout was absent from the first leg due to suspension. 1 hour 20 minutes ago At 23:45 tonight (June 15), the Vietnamese team will meet the host UAE in the final match of Group G of the second qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup at Zabeel Stadium, Dubai. Vietnam is at the top of the table with 17 points, while the UAE is second with 15 points. Only 1 victory will help the UAE continue, while Vietnam only needs a draw. Vietnam is getting very close to the ticket to the final qualifying round of the World Cup 2022. PHOTO: ANH THANH With the back of the wall and the home field advantage, the UAE will definitely set the highest determination to defeat the Vietnamese team. In this match, coach Park Hang-seo of Vietnam was disqualified from directing because he received two yellow cards earlier. Mr. Park’s No. 1 assistant, Deputy Prime Minister Lee Young-jin will take over the leadership of the Vietnamese players on the field. According to FIFA, the UAE owns two great strikers Fabio Lima and Ali Mabkhout. Lima has scored 23 goals in his last 21 matches for club and country. Mabkhout scored 25 goals in the last 15 international matches, of which he scored… 5 hat-tricks. Prediction: Both teams draw 2-2

In addition to the number of starting players, clubs must have an extra force to prepare for situations that arise and injuries. In the V.League, teams usually have 25 to 30 players. HAGL also registered 26 players for this season. To win the V.League championship, coaches often have to maximize the capabilities of both the main squad and the reserve team. HAGL almost maintained an immutable roster after 10 rounds. Photo: Minh Chien. Official and reserve spreads After 10 rounds of V.League, no club has the difference in time between the main roster and the reserve team as much as HAGL. 6 HAGL players who have played all 10 games this season are Nguyen Van Toan, Nguyen Cong Phuong, Washington Brandao, Vu Van Thanh, Nguyen Huu Tuan and Huynh Tuan Linh. The other 5 people with 9 matches are Kim Dong-su, Damir Memovic, Nguyen Phong Hong Duy, Luong Xuan Truong and Tran Minh Vuong. They form a group of 11 main soccer players of coach Kiatisuk. All 11 people have more than 800 minutes in the V.League. Minh Vuong, who is the least player in this group, also has 750 minutes. In the opposite direction, 16 other HAGL players only played a total of 824 minutes, slightly better than Minh Vuong. The huge difference in the number of minutes played between the main and the reserve players led to the difference in contributions to the club. The first 11 people scored 19 goals for HAGL in the V.League. The remaining 16 people did not have one. Kiatisuk is doing very well with the main rock team. But the capacity of the reserve group has not been nearly verified. Or rather, they were not given a chance to show their abilities. We have too little data on Trieu Viet Hung, Nguyen Van Viet, Chau Ngoc Quang … under Kiatisuk. I don’t know how they will perform, what role they will play even though they are both national players, their qualifications are acknowledged. The 600-minute gap between the main team and the reserve team deepens the qualification gap between the two sides. Kiatisuk is not making full use of his abilities, while limiting the reserve group’s progress. More importantly, this will make it difficult for HAGL in the long distance race. In the V.League, HAGL is the only team that has this way of using this user. The second team Viettel also has players who play 900 minutes like Tran Nguyen Manh, Hoang Duc, but they also have players who kick 500, 600 minutes like Pedro Paulo or Jahongir Abdumuminov. The ability to use coach Truong Viet Hoang allows backup names like Vu Minh Tuan, Nguyen Trong Dai to find their own place. The proof is that Minh Tuan has scored and Trong Dai often shines when he is given the opportunity. If users like HAGL, Hanoi club in the 2019 season can hardly fight on 4 fronts. And players like Truong Van Thai Quy, Dinh Tien Thanh or Ngan Van Dai will forever stand in the dark. Kiatisuk needs to prepare for a situation in which Cong Phuong cannot play. Photo: Minh Chien. What team formation does HAGL play with An Giang? But this is just one shortcoming of HAGL. The top of the V.League table proves that Kiatisuk is still correct. He did a great job with the main squad and needed to achieve the same thing with the reserve team. The match against An Giang in the National Cup qualifier on the afternoon of April 23 was an opportunity for him. In the past, the big V.League did not take this tournament seriously. Almost certainly, Binh Duong, Da Nang, Thanh Hoa will launch the reserve squad. If you cannot do the same thing, defeating An Giang cannot be the complete victory for HAGL. Every team wants to beat HAGL now, not only An Giang. Coach Trinh Van Hau (An Giang) From the day V.League returned on March 14 to the match against An Giang, HAGL will play 9 matches in 41 days, averaging 4.5 days / match. They will play 3 more matches with the same intensity. In addition to the continuous travel schedule between the North and South ends and a tense gathering of Vietnam, how many of HAGL’s crystal feet will remain? To avoid that scenario, Kiatisuk will have to think of the reserve team. But how will those players who rarely play? Quang Nho, Bao Toan, Ngoc Quang only have a total of 57 minutes this season. How will they play if they get on the pitch for 90 minutes? Remember, apart from 11 main positions, no other player has scored for HAGL. No team can win the V.League with just 11 people, including HAGL. The confrontation with An Giang this afternoon will partly show Kiatisuk’s solution, which will greatly affect the fate of HAGL on the championship race. Kiatisuk: ‘Xuan Truong is the key player of HAGL’ Captain HAGL explained the reason why Xuan Truong cried after the match with the Hanoi team and praised the pupil.

As Xuan Truong said, the Hanoi club is still a big team, still a rival that HAGL respects. For nearly 5 years, a group of talents were praised, admired, considered “national players” of HAGL just quietly in front of Hanoi no matter which yard. In the position of Xuan Truong and his teammates, if we meet the scene, we will be pushed by Hanoi and kicked, but it would be too much. Xuan Truong shines to help HAGL beat Hanoi club. Photo: Duy Anh. HAGL deserves to win the Hanoi club Even the joke of a HAGL player that “spending the youth to stay relegated” is enough to make us see that HAGL players in particular and mountain team fans in general have been hurt like how. They had to live through both doubts about their abilities from those who did not “like” them to the “love” tinged sympathy of those who had feelings for them. Really, the German elected kids don’t want that. HAGL players know them better than that. And when Kiatisuk came back, HAGL was different. Of course, the breath changing from Kiatisuk for Cong Phuong, Xuan Truong … is only a part. The rest for HAGL to have the form today must be the courage of the German elected and the club managers. They have dared to realize their mistakes over the years because they were too confident to make a change in team personnel. Admittedly, HAGL’s foreign soldiers are very qualified and themselves are also one of the basic factors for HAGL to have their first victory over Hanoi after nearly 5 years of waiting. HAGL’s playstyle has been shaped after 10 games, and we can see very clearly Kiatissuk’s policy of having the team go from home based on a short and smooth pass and maintaining a stable squad distance close range. That makes it always easier for HAGL to get on the ball with multiple deployment directions and gives viewers the feeling that they are always enough, if not redundant, personnel in hot spots on the field. It is HAGL’s maintenance of a good formation, creating very close links, that completely divided Hanoi. The midfield of the Hanoi club, with Moses and Tan Tai, shows only enthusiasm, dynamism, not the ability to hold the rhythm of the game and coordinate the ball. And in a day when Quang Hai could not create a turning point to change the situation, Hanoi had no clear chance when the players of coach Hoang Van Phuc were just fragments that could not communicate with each other. Meanwhile, HAGL’s policy of low play and quick counter-attack proved effective. This match, HAGL played with a much lower lineup, using their numerical advantage to organize their defense tighter than in all their previous matches this season. This is the most important and accurate decision. For Kiatisuk, Hanoi club, despite a staff crisis, it is still a high quality and old competitor. Therefore, HAGL needs to be careful first and seek victory by carefully taking the opportunities that arise. When HAGL advocates that, Hanoi does not have a focused, scientific and sober defense. The losing phase may come from the surprise due to Xuan Truong’s spectacular shot, but in fact, in that situation, the two central midfielders of Hanoi left a space too wide at about 30 meters in front of them. Fort. That’s taboos. If Xuan Truong does not finish in that situation, he still has other organizational plans that are enough to endanger the goal of Tan Truong. However, the most concrete example of the lack of strictness of the Hanoi club’s defense must be the situation in the 51st minute, when HAGL counterattacked with only Van Toan and Van Thanh. Van Toan’s pass to Van Thanh is extremely dangerous. Thanh Chung contacted Tan Truong for Tan Truong to release, but obviously, it was a mistake for Thành Chung to stop at that moment. Even if the goalkeeper hears the request to leave, the defender is not allowed to stop clinging so that the opponent can have the ball. Van Thanh received the ball in that counterattack and indeed, it must be said that the Hanoi club was lucky without losing another goal. HAGL played a very good game. Not only did it show that they were much more alert, but it was also a sign they could usher in a new cycle, a cycle of challenge and success. And when HAGL gets such a positive signal, Hanoi should also wake up because if they don’t change, they will most likely enter a cycle (albeit short) of disappointment. Geovanne is an unsuitable foreign soldier for the Hanoi club, at least until now. Photo: Duy Anh. Hanoi club disappoints We have to admit that Hanoi’s foreign soldiers have not proven much and it seems that their selection of foreign soldiers is too subjective. Bruno or not? Great. Geovanne or not? Or so. However, both players are very good at kicking the right partner and rather kicking in a Viettel and Saigon club that once advocated a counterattack. Hanoi doesn’t play that counterattack football. So is it correct that they marry Bruno and Geovanne? Meanwhile, the old Hanoi club veterans used to “make salad” their opponents in the V.League really old. And when the Hanoi club fell into an injury crisis, penalty cards with formidable names like Hung Dung, Van Hau, Dinh Trong …, they appeared as an old tiger with hope for 2 The lost West striker and a lone Quang Hai do not have the most needed support. This failure can cause the Hanoi club to fall into the group of 8 teams in the second stage and if so, it is an unacceptable season for anyone who loves the purple shirt team. But it was a necessary failure, because it touched the pride of the Hanoi club, a force. It will awaken the old tiger because as a ruler, no one wants to change roles to be ruled. And all hope the Hanoi club must be revived. Because only that makes the V.League more and more attractive when HAGL has begun to really transform in the stature of a champion candidate. HAGL Highlights – Hanoi Club The only goal of Luong Xuan Truong helped the home team Hoang Anh Gia Lai to win all 3 points when receiving the Hanoi club in the 10th round of the tournament on April 18.

The shine of the internal strikers partly solved the problem of public goods for the Vietnamese team Photo: VPF

The impressive scoring ability of domestic strikers promises to create an attractive competition with foreign strikers, and at the same time makes the No. 1 tournament in Vietnam even more thrilling. Not only that, this is also very beneficial for the Vietnamese team before the matches in the World Cup qualifier 2022.

Wind has alternated?

With a strike in the match HAGL overcame Nam Dinh 4-3 in round 9, striker Nguyen Van Toan temporarily rose to the top of the ranking “scorer” V.League 2021 with 6 goals. Right behind Van Toan are 5 players with the same 5 goals, including 3 domestic strikers, Nguyen Cong Phuong (HAGL), Nguyen Tien Linh (Binh Duong) and Phan Van Duc (SLNA), next to Teofilo Eydison. (Than Quang Ninh) and Rafaelson (SHB Danang). The impressive ability of the Van Toan – Cong Phuong duo is helping HAGL to fly high on the rankings, in which Van Toan has scored in 6/9 games to help HAGL have 18 points, while Cong Phuong has just made a double to help Nui Street football team choked 4-3 against Nam Dinh in round 9. Tien Linh and Van Duc are “leaders” in the attack of their team, typically Tien Linh scored a hat-trick against the net. Dinh was in round 8, and Phan Van Duc just scored a double against B. Binh Duong in round 9.

Never before has the race “top scorer” in the V.League received such attention this year, this comes from the “turnaround” too big of domestic strikers. That is completely different from the previous seasons, when the domestic strikers always proved weaker than the foreign strikers. Even now, people do not even remember when the last time a domestic player won the “top scorer” V.League was in what year? Last season, Cong Phuong was the best domestic striker but only 6 goals, equal to half of the leader, not even in the top 10 strikers scoring the most season. In 2019, there is a bit of prosperity when the top 10 has 2 domestic players, Minh Vuong (12 goals, 4th place) and Van Quyet (9 goals, 10th place), similar to the 2018 season with Tien Linh (15 goals, 2nd place) and Cong Phuong (12 goals, 6th place).

It has been difficult for domestic strikers to compete for the starting position with foreign strikers in recent seasons, so it is not too difficult for them to be in the list of top goalscorer in the tournament. And in this season, teams still give priority to try “West” on the attack and the story of foreign soldiers “winning land” of internal soldiers in the striker position seems to be too normal. Currently in the V.League 2021, all teams have at least 1 to 2 main spots for foreign strikers on public goods, even at times the coach of the Ho Chi Minh club even uses all 3 foreign soldiers on attack. in a match. Therefore, the current impressive performance of Van Toan, Cong Phuong, Tien Linh, Van Duc is proof that the quality of domestic strikers is no less than foreign soldiers, the wind has somewhat reversed despite the period. 1 has just passed over 2/3 of the journey

Worry less

Only less than 2 months left for the remaining matches in Group G The second qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup in Asia will take place, but the Vietnamese team is facing great concerns about personnel, especially. in midfield and in defense. The forces of the “Golden Stars” preparing for the matches in the UAE in June are severely chipped because of various problems of the pillars.

Hung Dung certainly could not be present, Trong Hoang, Dinh Trong were suspended, Van Hau was injured, he did not know when to return, goalkeeper Van Lam did not play regularly, not to mention Tuan Anh had just suffered an injury, Quang Hai , Huy Hung just came back after his convalescence. That really is the headache of Coach Park Hang-seo. But with the performance of players on public goods at the V.League 2021 over the past time, the Korean strategist will somewhat lessen the burden of worry. Van Toan, Cong Phuong, Tien Linh, Van Duc are all important pillars of the Vietnamese team’s attack, and the fact that they have good form to score regularly is good news for the national team. With many individuals with good performance points, Coach Park Hang-seo will have many plans and calculations on public goods, not to mention he can call back veteran striker Nguyen Anh Duc, who is leading ” First-class scorer ”with 4 goals after 4 matches. After 5 matches in Group G World Cup qualification 2022, Vietnam has only scored 5 goals, including 3 goals against Indonesia, the weakest opponent in the table. Therefore, in the remaining 3 matches (especially against Malaysia and the host UAE), the Vietnamese team needs a better finish to compensate for the inevitable risks in defense. The opponents in Group G are getting stronger every day, they are very well prepared for the remaining matches, so the attackers are regaining the feeling of scoring at the V.League is a good sign for Mr. Park.

Previously, Coach Park Hang-seo expressed his wish that the V.League teams should create conditions for more domestic strikers, especially young strikers to express themselves. In fact, in recent seasons, teams still prioritize the use of “foreign goods” over “domestic goods”, which comes from the efficiency and achievement pressure. But the story of domestic and foreign strikers this season has turned a different direction, which is also what fans and professionals want to see. HAGL, B. Binh Duong or SLNA are benefiting from the brilliance of domestic strikers and that can also be seen as what other teams in the V.League should learn in creating opportunities for local players. attack. There may be people who cannot immediately meet expectations and be effective, but in the long run it can be very beneficial for football teams, national teams and football as a whole.

The statement of the military leader with the nickname “Mourinho Vietnam” is very interesting, because it reflects exactly what the domestic strikers are showing at the V.League this season.

Positive signs

In December 2020, Coach Park Hang-seo created a big debate among experts about the use of too many foreign strikers by V.League as the reason for the Vietnamese team to have a shortage of good strikers. The Korean strategist even suggested that VPF should build a certain mechanism for U21 players to enter the V.League arena.

Mr. Park gave very specific numbers: 47 foreign soldiers played in the 2020 season, of which 70% were in the striker line. Obviously the opportunities for domestic strikers are very limited. The most outstanding people and national players like Cong Phuong, Van Toan, Tien Linh, Van Duc, Duc Chinh all scored no more than 6 goals.

There was a time when Mr. Park had to summon and trust using an old general like Anh Duc to understand the general situation of the internal strikers in the V.League.

Everything has changed dramatically this season. The best strikers of Vietnam Tel are all playing too well. Van Toan was twice voted the best player of the month, now has 6 goals in 9 rounds. Cong Phuong, despite playing further from goal than before, had 5 goals, equal to Tien Linh and Van Duc.

A total of these 4 strikers have 21 goals, occupying 4/6 leading positions in the scoring list in the V.League. The two foreign strikers standing with them are Rafaelson of SHB Da Nang and Eydison of Than Quang Ninh (with 5 goals).

Domestic strikers are shining at the V.League 2021.

Domestic strikers scoring in a row is a very positive sign, because it not only reflects the quality of the players, but more importantly, it is also a change in mindset to play in the general ground. .League.

As Mr. Pham Minh Duc, Vietnamese players have very good technique and when they shine in the V.League, it means that the tournament has also become more technical.

Previously, many teams “set white” to score goals for foreign strikers. The downline just bounces up for strikers with outstanding form and fitness to manage.

To ensure their achievements, coaches are forced to use strong foreign soldiers with impressive power and height, but many players’ soccer skills are only average or below this level.

The internal strikers shine mainly because the teams have accepted to build their play around them, using tactics that are more suitable for the technique and the body of the players. Not only the teams are different, but Coach Park Hang-seo also benefits from this change.

More comprehensive, more dangerous

Personally, the players have also made changes to become more dangerous. Van Toan, who is sublimating in the colors of Hoang Anh Gia Lai, has “removed” the label of “disruptive striker”.

Previously, the striker from Hai Duong was often mentioned only with a short breakout speed. Now, he is transforming into a dangerous table scorer by omniscience. His six goals included a left-foot, right-footed shot in the penalty area and a long shot.

Playing under the guidance of a coach who was once Southeast Asia’s number one striker like Kiatisak is a great advantage for Van Toan. The striker’s play has gradually become perfected, helping him become a permanent threat to the opponent’s goal.

Chevaughn Walsh, one of the foreign strikers, was disappointed.

Along with Van Toan, Cong Phuong also changed. Backed down to play lower than before, the striker from Nghe An has plenty of room to show off his elite skills.

Cong Phuong was significantly less cumbersome under Kiatisak’s sharpening, more diligent, and had two goals from left-footed kicks that were not commonly seen before.

The way Kiatisak uses Cong Phuong is also an interesting suggestion for Mr. Park, in the context of Vietnam Tel is facing many difficulties in human resources in the middle line.

Can not fail to mention Phan Van Duc. The 1996-born striker’s rising career was interrupted by consecutive injuries, but fortunately it did not take away the qualities of the player considered more than 50% of Song Lam Nghe An’s strength. this time. Even Van Duc at present is even more unpredictable because of his assertiveness.

The German goals “creak” from the beginning of the season have many super products, made by extremely classy kicks. Van Duc is a smart player, always making a reasonable decision in each moment and now, he is more dangerous when he gradually becomes a mutant.

The “evolution” of strikers will bring Mr. Park Hang-seo more solutions on attack. Van Duc, Van Toan, Cong Phuong and even Tien Linh have different qualities, suitable for each opponent.

When they are in the best state, Vietnamese telecom products will become unpredictable, especially when Quang Hai is also showing signs of recovery.

Foreign strikers are only secondary

Coach Pham Minh Duc has a reason to criticize foreign strikers when Hong Linh Ha Tinh has lost 3/4 of the penalty since the beginning of the season because he believes in foreign strikers.

In the first match of the V.League 2021, Claudecir set up a “double” shot to miss 11 meters against Than Quang Ninh, causing Hong Linh Ha Tinh to lose 1-2.

When it came to the “reverse final” of Saigon FC, it was Chevaughn Walsh’s turn to end the game at a time when the team was leading 0-1. Failure to Saigon FC led Mr. Duc to decide to resign, giving hot seats to coach Nguyen Thanh Cong.

Ho Chi Minh City club is probably “saddest” the most V.League because of its foreign strikers. The trio of Joao Paulo, Dario Silva and Junior Barrios cost the Thong Nhat team nearly millions of dollars, but only scored a total of 2 goals this season.

At Hoang Anh Gia Lai, striker Washington Brandao is one of three players to play without missing a minute from the beginning of the season next to goalkeeper Huynh Tuan Linh and midfielder Nguyen Huu Tuan, but only 2 goals.

The main task of Washington Brandao is to draw and attract the attention of the opponent’s defenders so that Cong Phuong and Van Toan have space.
