AFC honors HAGL midfielder who was “estranged” from coach Park Hang-seo

He was banned 7.6 points by SofaScore – equal to goalkeeper Huynh Tuan Linh and only 7.7 points behind the player with the highest score in the match, Minh Vuong.
Nguyen Huu Tuan played impressively against Sydney FC.
The statistics showed how impressive Huu Tuan had a day in front of the representative from Australia. Huu Tuan played the full 90 minutes, achieving an absolute victory rate of 100% after 5 confrontations on the ground with his opponent.
The center-back in 1992 also had 3 successful interceptions, 3 accurate tackles and 1 time blocked the opponent’s shot. Huu Tuan also showed his passing skills at a good level compared to a central defender when he achieved an accuracy rate of 80%.
With his performance, Huu Tuan deserves to be honored by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). Specifically, according to the announcement of the AFC, Huu Tuan was included in the typical squad of the AFC Champions League in the 6th match.
Nguyen Huu Tuan appeared in the typical team of the 6th match.
In addition to Huu Tuan, some other prominent players from big Asian teams such as Urawa Red Diamonds, Kawasaki Frontale or Ulsan Hyundai also appeared.
Huu Tuan is the second HAGL player to be “chosen to send gold” by the AFC, to be included in the typical squad of this year’s AFC Champions League. Previously, Vu Van Thanh was the first player of the Pho Mountain team to receive this honor when he was in the typical team of the second match (first leg against Sydney FC). Van Thanh was the one who opened the scoring in the 1-1 draw between HAGL and Syndey FC on April 19.
Under Coach Park Hang-seo, Nguyen Huu Tuan was called up to Vietnam many times. However, he did not have many opportunities to play on the main pitch. This made the Da Nang central defender really disappointed and hinted that he no longer wanted to be summoned by the Korean military leader.
