U22 China, led by Park hang-seo’s former coach Guus Hiddink, is considered the most talented generation of China that is invested heavily toward Olympic Tokyo 2020.
However, in the next friendly match, Guus Hiddink will not face Park as the South Korean strategist is busy to guide Vietnam national team in the framework of World Cup 2022 ASIA zonal qualifiers. Thereby, Park’s assistant will in charge of guiding U22 Vietnam.
