Twice being “deleted”, the last stop of U23 Vietnam will repay Mr. Park successfully?
Almost became “ancient criminal”
At the 30th SEA Games, U22 Vietnam was crowned worthy of the top spot of Group B in the group stage, with two wins respectively 4-0 and 3-0 in the semi-finals and final. But in that historic and extremely meaningful journey, there is still a “blur”. Worth mentioning, that “blur” came in the match against Thailand – the great Southeast Asian rival of Vietnamese football, and the “culprit” is the current U23 Vietnam’s number 1 goalkeeper.
In the 5th minute of the match, Van Toan made an extremely unforgivable mistake. Van Hau’s return shot is perfectly reasonable, with enough time and space for this young goalkeeper to handle, but Van Toan’s shot up found the most “catastrophic” address, hitting the ball. Supachai’s men jumped straight into the net to the surprise of Coach Park Hang-seo, as well as the whole team.
Remember that the final match of the group stage is extremely important, because if they lose to Thailand U22, Park Hang-seo’s teachers and students will repeat the painful image of Coach Huu Thang and Cong Phuong, Xuan Truong and Tuan Anh. … two years ago, when U22 Vietnam was eliminated right from the group stage, carrying the suitcase first in shame.
After six and a half minutes, the real disaster came to the teachers and coaches of Park Hang-seo when Suphanat came down to a dangerous end to defeat Van Toan to raise the score to 2-0 for Thailand U22.
Fortunately, there was still Tien Linh, with two goals just right to equalize U22 Vietnam, send Thailand home, save Mr. Park a conspicuous goal, and help “clear the case” successfully for Van Toan.
Before that, Van Toan was not the number 1 choice of Mr. Park, but Bui Tien Dung. But against Indonesia, Bui Tien Dung made a rather silly mistake, causing U22 Vietnam to have a “cold sweat” time. And surely with Van Toan’s performance in the match against Thailand, the Korean teacher had moments of both frustration and anger.
Are grapes still green?
After that mistake, Van Toan was given a “second chance” by Mr. Park in the match against Oman in the final qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup in Asia. Although the Vietnamese team took the lead, in the end, once again, Van Toan’s mistake harmed his teammates. The team’s 1-2 loss came from Van Toan’s mistake when the ball from the corner hit the young goalkeeper’s head before slipping into the net.
Fortunately for Van Toan, that mistake eventually fell into oblivion, not only because the arena in which Mr. Park launched this young goalkeeper was “too much”, and at the same time, the Vietnamese team finally completed the “trial”. challenge” with a jubilant victory over China, and then an impressive draw against Japan in the final round. For the second time, Van Toan was “removed from the sentence”.

Unlike the SEA Games nearly 3 years ago, Van Toan is now the number 1 goalkeeper of Coach Park Hang-seo in the journey to conquer the 31st SEA Games on “home ground”. The experts also put a lot of expectations on this goalkeeper when they said that Van Toan was “in the maturity”, as well as accumulated a lot of experience in both the U23 shirt and the Vietnam national team under Mr. Park.
In this SEA Games, Coach Park Hang-seo focused on the upper line when the “pure U23” midfield and striker did not meet the needs of the Korean teacher. One more place that is too old compared to the previous SEA Games, but Park’s “reinforcements” are all midfielders and strikers, with Hung Dung, Hoang Duc and Tien Linh.
At the 30th SEA Games, the two wings of U22 Vietnam were extremely strong with “elder” Trong Hoang and Vietnam’s top full-back – Van Hau. For Coach Park Hang-seo, mobility on the flanks has always been the key to his success with Vietnamese football over the past five years.
Defense is no longer a strong point of U23 Vietnam in the last tournament that Mr. Park holds the army. In the SEA Games, U23 Vietnam will surely have to “take the offensive”, so the pressure placed on the “last stop” Van Toan will be quite heavy.
Twice “debuting” to Mr. Park, the young goalkeeper from Hai Phong left sad marks. If “too three to three busy”, surely Van Toan will have to receive “special attention” from the fans, and the door in the national team that Mr. Park once opened with him will also close. More than ever, Van Toan will have to do his best in tonight’s match against Indonesia U23, to prove that the belief that the Korean teacher has placed in him is correct.
That will be the most meaningful thank you, to open the journey to defend a meaningful gold medal for Vietnamese football in the SEA Games arena.
