Phan Van Duc brings good news to Park Hang-seo

World Cup 2022 Asian qualifiers will return with 2 matches on 26 and 31/3 here. In Group G, Vietnam has a lot of advantages when it comes to the top with 11 points after 5 matches, and the opportunity to advance to the final qualifying round.

Park Hang-seo and his players will take a break on March 26, before having a difficult trip on Bukit Jalil Stadium in Malaysia after 5 days. This will be a crucial match for Vietnam as Malaysia, a direct opponent to Vietnam in this group, is ranked 2nd.

In this match, the Korean strategist will not have the service of two key defenders: Trong Hoang and Dinh Trong due to their suspension. Besides, Xuan Truong and Huy Hung have not recovered from their injuries. Coach Park, however, will welcome the return of Phan Van Duc on Vietnam's attack.

After a long time treating ligament injury, Phan Van Duc has been able to return to training with the Song Lam Nghe An Club since January. The Nghe An-born striker is very confident in his performance and ready to return to Vietnam in the upcoming match against Malaysia.

Sharing on Thanh Nien, Van Duc said:

"I will try to convince Park to call me back to the national team in March. At this time, I have recovered about 90% of my strength. By the time of the next call-up on March 21, I hope I will play bettwe by some V-League matches.

I feel that the ball is fine and playing well in internal matches at SLNA. I am patiently waiting for the official matches. My goal is to try not to get hurt and show well for Mr. Park to call back. ”

Regarding the difficulties that has faced before this important match, Phan Van Duc believes that his coach in Vietnam will solve all the problems that he is facing.

"The difficulties of the force and the schedule will only make the Vietnam team more united. The team is a collective that has been together for a while, understands the personality and play style of each player so It's not too difficult finding a common voice. I believe Mr. Park will overcome everything. " - the striker shared.

The return of Phan Van Duc right now is very important for Vietnam. Park is in need of changes when the team's playing style is somewhat captured by rivals.

With Van Duc in the squad, the Korean strategist will have more attack plans, as well as a surge in upcoming matches. Especially the confrontation with Malaysia in the 2022 World Cup qualifier at the Bukit Jalil Stadium on March 31.
