Hanoi’s national players late summon with Vietnam NT for World Cup 2022 second qualifier

Due to the tight schedule in V-League and AFC Cup, Hanoi FC national players seem to gather later in the Vietnam call-ups.

Accordingly, Hanoi FC will play Altyn Asyr in the second leg of AFC Cup 2019 inter-zonal semis on August 27. Duy manh, Van Quyet, Ngan Van Dai, Van Kien, Hung Dung, Duc Huy and Thanh Chung, thereby, are not gathering with Vietnam NT on August 26. It is only possible for the Vietnam national to summon three days after the match.

Regarding Hanoi travel to Turkmenistan, it takes round 20 hours for Chu Dinh Nghiem side to visit their rival, which could saps players of their energy.

Quang Hai and his gang are supposed to deal with a tough away task, despite Altyn Asyr’s 2-3 loss. Hanoi then must focus all their effort to beat the reigning champs to make history for Vietnamese football.

Vietnam head coach Park Hang-seo gets uneasy as his men’s physical strength would be sapped, especially key footballers such as Quang Hai, Duy Manh,  Hung Dung.

Recently, Park Hang-seo has not given any plan on checking new players through friendly matches. Vietnam NT is having one week to practice before coach Park trimmed the list to 23 players before their away match against Thailand on Sept 5.
