Due to gathering close to the match day and not having much time to practice or screen personnel, Coach Park Hang-seo called up most of the players who had worked with him before.
The notable absence is Bui Tien Dung, the goalkeeper who has been with Mr. Park in every past tournament since he came to Vietnam at the end of 2017. After joining Hanoi Club, he rarely played because
Nguyen Manh returned to the national team after nearly three years of absence.
Among the three goalkeepers summoned this time, Tran Nguyen Manh is a special name.
Nguyen Tuan Anh is also a significant return.
On the offensive front, there was a shortage of people, so Mr. Park persuaded Nguyen Anh Duc to return.
Dang Van Lam (Muangthong United) and midfielder Luong Xuan Truong (Buriam United) will stay in Thailand to wait for their teammates, while Cong Phuong (Incheon United) will fly directly from Korea and not return to Vietnam.
Mr. Duc withdrew his announcement of retirement from the team and returned to compete in the King’s Cup.
To prepare for the King’s Cup, coach Park Hang-seo followed a series of overseas Vietnamese players such as Mac Hong Quan, Martin Lo, Adriano Schmidt, Alex Dang… But when finalizing the list, he did not mark any names.
This time, Vietnam does not have the strongest force.
The Vietnamese team will go to Bangkok on the morning of June 1, then wait until the afternoon to fly to Buriram – where the 2019 King’s Cup will take place. The team has three practice sessions before facing host Thailand at 7:45 p.m. on June 5, to
Thailand is the number one football country in Southeast Asia with five AFF Cup champions and 16 SEA Games gold medal winners.
