Recruiting Vietnam always aims to create something new and competitive. All must try harder“, midfielder Que Ngoc Hai shared before the training session on the afternoon of May 30 of the Vietnamese team.

The Vietnamese team is training in Ho Chi Minh City to prepare for a friendly match with Afghanistan at Thong Nhat Stadium on June 1.

Among the members of the Vietnam team’s coaching staff in the current gathering, it is noteworthy that striker Anh Duc appeared in the role of assistant coach. Ngoc Hai is excited about the reunion with his old teammates in a new position.

“The whole team is very happy to see Anh Duc again. It’s been a long time since we last saw Anh Duc since he retired from the Vietnam team. Meeting Anh Duc again in his new position is very interesting. Anh Duc is trying his best to complete the work set out by the coach and the head coach“, Ngoc Hai shared.
