The disaster more than 8 years ago reappeared, Cong Phuong and Van Toan were once again “awakened”?
The best of the best…
More than 8 years ago, at the beginning of 2014, right before the match against U19 Japan on Thong Nhat Stadium, the Vietnamese media did not regret praising and admiring U19 Vietnam with the core of the Cong PhuongVan Toan, Xuan Truong, Tuan Anh, Hong Duy…
Turning the pages of the newspapers of those days, it was not difficult to find articles with titles full of flying, like “U19 Vietnam playing tiqui-taca attracts millions of hearts“,”Vietnam U19 players are likened to Tsubasa, Messi and Iniesta”. Then to comment on the meeting between U19 Vietnam and U19 Japan, the experts at home did not regret the words “poured honey”: “Japan U19 is considered a good attack, but the defense is still very weak“, already “According to experts, U19 Vietnam needs a more diverse attack“.
After all, on Thong Nhat Stadium, Tuan Anh, Cong Phuong, Van Toan – the players who were impressed by the AS Roma U19 coach, ended up “falling straight to the ground” by a Japanese U19 “similar in style” play, but different in class”. That 0-7 white defeat, surely Cong Phuong and Van Toan could not forget.
More than 8 years have passed, after many stumbles under the kneading hands of coach Miura, then Huu Thang, finally the U19 players, as well as Vietnamese football, have made great strides, but The main proof is today’s match against Japan, in the final qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup in Asia – the qualifying round is a historic milestone in Vietnamese football.
But also under coach Park Hang-seo, Germany’s U19s are losing their strength and influence they’ve created day by day. After the miracle of Changzhou more than 4 years ago, in the end, Xuan Truong was only a “shadow” in the Vietnamese team, 5 years and 1 day from the day Van Toan scored his last goal for the team. Vietnam, meanwhile, Tuan Anh and Cong Phuong are no longer the ultimate choice of Mr. Park, although last season HAGL played extremely well.
A bold defeat shows up…
“Losing cows to build a barn” is what is being put on Coach Park Hang-seo right now. For more than 4 years, the Korean leader has been extremely loyal to his faith and the players he loves, to the point that everyone sees a clear injustice with young players, because Mr. Park ” glaring at vegetables and meat”, always lamenting the youth training work of Vietnamese football, but I myself have never put great faith in young players.
Today, the Korean military leader was forced to do what he really dislikes, which is to change the squad that he was so familiar with during his reign with Vietnamese football. Because he had no other choice when the injury and the Covid-19 pandemic took away quite a few names that he was extremely familiar with.
The most recent match of the Vietnamese team – against Oman, when bringing Cong Phuong to the field to replace Tuan Anh at the beginning of the second half, Mr. Park put the burden on Quang Hai when he pulled the Dong Anh midfielder to a low kick, to Cong Phuong, then Van Toan shined, but in the end, what he got was just a round zero.
More than 8 years ago, young Japanese players did not “respect” the home team, to have an extremely strong victory to 7-0 right at Thong Nhat Stadium. Today, they have even more reason to recreate the “catastrophe” of Cong Phuong, Tuan Anh, Van Toan… every day.
Having secured the ticket to the World Cup finals with the top position of Group B, what the Japanese coach needs to do now is to create opportunities for young players to prove themselves. Remember, even if Japan puts young players on the field to “test the fire”, the level of these players will also eat away at the Vietnamese players. Besides, they will be like every other day, not “respectful”, instead will definitely play extremely hard.
More than 8 years ago, Cong Phuong and his teammates were just “baby sheep” in the hands of young Japanese players. Now, the position is different, the Vietnamese team is proving that it has made great progress, but this also makes Park Hang-seo’s teachers and students a “thorn” in the eyes of Asian “giants”. , and of course Japan is no exception.
Winning Vietnam is not only a mandatory task for the Japanese team, but a bold victory will satisfy this country’s football fans. It is not natural that Asian bookies give Vietnam the strongest handicap ever in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Asia.
Indeed, losing heavily to Japan is not too surprising for Park Hang-seo’s teachers and students, especially in this difficult situation. The most remarkable thing in this match is not winning or losing, but if you lose heavily, will Mr. Park wake up with his “kick to lose”, and whether Cong Phuong, Van Toan, Tuan Anh will have enough motivation. To be “awakened”, find yourself again?
