Nguyen Tien Linh – the star carrying the attacking team of Vietnam U23 on the journey to defend the gold medal at the 31st SEA Games

Some people say that Tien Linh is the “chicken” of Coach Park Hang-seo because at the most deadlocked moments he always knows how to shine. Perhaps that’s why, at the last SEA Games as the head coach of U23 Vietnam, Mr. Park chose Tien Linh.

Entering the 31st SEA Games, the hope of successfully defending the gold medal rests heavily on the shoulders of teacher and coach Park Hang-seo. In the context that the attack of U23 Vietnam is not sensitive enough, the striker born in 1997 is the most suitable solution.

The first thing to mention is the important role of Tien Linh at the 30th SEA Games. It was he who scored a double to help Vietnam U22 win tickets to the dramatic semi-finals, creating psychological momentum for the championship after 60 years. wait.

In the second qualifying round of the World Cup, Mr. Park called Tien Linh from U22 to the Vietnamese team. Like a pent-up spring, the striker celebrated wildly after his third goal topped Indonesia’s net in a 3-1 win.

Recently, Tien Linh has had an impressive performance in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Asia. After 15 appearances in the 2nd and 3rd qualifying rounds, Hai Huong’s hometown striker has scored 8 goals, a remarkable achievement for the 25-year-old striker this year.

It is not easy to have a current Tien Linh, from the “shadow” of Anh Duc to an indispensable person in the tactical scheme of Coach Park Hang-seo. Only in the time of Coach Park Hang-seo, talents like Tien Linh were used. And only the captain of the Vietnamese team can see the special qualities of this player, so he summoned him to attend the 31st SEA Games.

In this year’s tournament, if Hung Dung and Hoang Duc are the big energy sources in the midfield, Mr. Park needs Tien Linh to be able to score goals throughout the tournament.

4 years of continuous competition in Southeast Asia and Asia tournaments helps Tien Linh have a lot of experience to supplement the attack power of U23 Vietnam. The ability to score goals is also something Coach Park Hang-seo can rely on for Tien Linh to lead the juniors to compete. The charm of “conceding a goal”, the “killer” instinct of the striker will help the player playing for Binh Duong confidently shine.

In the friendly match with U20 Korea, it was clear that when Mr. Park launched a group of players over 23 years old into the field, it made a difference for U23 Vietnam. Those days were enough for the coaching staff to help the players get along and coordinate well with each other.

At the 31st SEA Games, Tien Linh responded to the belief of Coach Park Hang-seo with the opening goal for U23 Vietnam against U23 Indonesia. At that time, the Vietnamese audience was very impatient because the host was more appreciated but still had no goal. However, with just one situation of buffering the ball close to the city, the star born in 1997 made the whole bridge burst with joy. His goal was like a medicine to relieve the burden on teammates, and then U23 Vietnam won jubilantly 3-0 in the end.

Today, when Vietnam U23 was in a difficult position against Malaysia in the semi-finals of the 31st SEA Games, Tien Linh appeared as a hero again. He was accompanied by an opponent with the ball for 105 minutes (the official 90 minutes and the first 15 minutes of extra time) but just one situation, the Malaysia U23 net was shaken. A very dangerous header from Hung Dung’s cross ended all hope of the opponent’s penalty shootout and brought U23 Vietnam a ticket to the 31st SEA Games final.

Maybe SEA Games 31 with Tien Linh at the moment is not really a successful tournament when he only has 2 goals. However, his scoring situations always play an important role in the journey to conquer the Gold Medal. The 25-year-old star can therefore pat his chest and declare that he is the “team bearer”, making a great contribution to the team’s overall achievement.

In the near future, with the winning spirit of the defending champion, the “Golden Star Warriors” in general and Tien Linh in particular will surely show an admirable brave face against the opponent U23 Thailand. . It will be a very difficult match, but with what Tien Linh and teammates can do, the audience can believe in the most perfect ending possible at the end of this year’s SEA Games.
