Van Thanh and Coach Park’s gentle headache

0

Trong Hoang is out of suspension and ready for the match against Malaysia, but his ability to play is still a question mark when Van Thanh has just flashed before Indonesia.
Trong Hoang’s return brings good news and a headache for Coach Park Hang-seo. It’s funny that the Vietnamese team has more quality options for the match against Malaysia, but it’s a headache that Coach Park has 4 quality options for the full-back position, but can only choose 2 people in the starting lineup. .

Choosing someone in the right wing corridor between Trong Hoang and Van Thanh when one is the mainstay and the other just shines is not a simple matter. The same problem was also posed on the left side when Doan Van Hau had just had more than 10 minutes on the field in a position that Hong Duy showed quite impressively. Van Thanh and Hong Duy were originally just backup plans in the team. No. 17 has been a substitute for all 5 previous matches in the World Cup qualifiers. Hong Duy has only had the second kick after the 0-0 draw of the Vietnamese team against Thailand in the first leg at the end of 2019. If Van Hau is not injured and takes a 7-month break, Hong Duy hardly has a chance. If Trong Hoang was not suspended, it is unlikely that Van Thanh would have had his first match in the World Cup qualifying round. So the placement of two HAGL players is a situational solution for Coach Park Hang-seo. The interesting thing is: These two players did well. High performance in V.League in HAGL shirt has paved the way for Van Thanh and Hong Duy to compete in the team. This duo helps the team fly high on the leaderboard. Particularly Van Thanh also has 2 goals, equal to the number of goals scored by his colleagues on the attack of Ha Duc Chinh team. When given the opportunity against Indonesia, both played the full 90 minutes. Hong Duy passed the ball to create conditions for Tien Linh to score the opening goal, while Van Thanh set a “4-star” victory for Vietnam by turning the ball and cutting his heart accurately. Choosing who to start will depend on the tactical intentions of Coach Park Hang-seo, as well as the rotation plan for the “final group” match against the UAE on June 15. Van Thanh, Hong Duy are full-backs who play well in attack. Mr. Park was right to let the duo play from the start against Indonesia in a match that needed to be scored. However, playing against a young opponent who is out of motivation is not an accurate measure to properly evaluate the defensive ability of this duo. Running the last 12 minutes against Indonesia with a bandaged knee cannot guarantee Van Hau is 100% ready for the next match. Photo: Quang Thinh. In front of the opposing team at the age of U23, the Vietnamese team controlled the ball up to 67%, made 546 passes (with Indonesia it was 293). In the whole match, Indonesia only had 3 chances to shoot towards the goal of Bui Tan Truong, only one of which hit the target. Malaysia is not like Indonesia. Coach Tan Cheng Hoe’s army is not an inexperienced opponent, the level difference is clear compared to the Vietnamese team. Malaysia have upgraded their squad, but more importantly, they hope to progress to the World Cup qualifiers. This victory or defeat also determines many things for the Vietnamese team. In games that require safety, Hong Duy is rarely used in the left corridor. But if you give Van Hau the opportunity, Coach Park will risk a player who has been off the game for 7 months, just recovering from an injury. 12 minutes on the field against Indonesia cannot confirm this player is 100% ready for the match against Malaysia. Same with the right-back position. Van Thanh has just shone, but Trong Hoang is the mainstay of the Vietnamese team. Another option for Coach Park is to take Van Thanh to the left, and Trong Hoang to play on the right. This solution both helps the team’s best right-back enter the field, while increasing the defense for the left side. Vietnam team prepares for the match against Malaysia After the victory over Indonesia, the Vietnamese team went to the training ground to prepare for the match against Malaysia on the evening of June 11.
