Mr. Park eliminated the first Vietnamese U.23 player, closing the list to Phu Tho

Midfielder Mai Xuan Quyet due to not meeting the professional requirements, he became the first piece of the puzzle that could not stand in the U.23 team in Vietnam. Player of Nam Dinh team is not appreciated for the ability to dispute despite quite skillful personal technique. He also has not shown to be fully compatible with the tactical scheme that Mr. Park is applying to the team. This is quite unfortunate for Mai Xuan Quyet personally.
