Akira Nishino: ‘We are ready to defeat Vietnam’
Thailand’s head coach Akira Nishino has vowed to earn three points during this week’s World Cup qualifier against Vietnam.
The South Korean coach dropped Huy Hung and Huu Tuan but kept Le Van Dai and Trong Hung on the squad.
The dismissal of Huy Hung surprised many, as it means there are now only three center midfielders on the national team. But attacking midfielder Quang Hai is one good alternative for this position.
Though Huu Tuan has continued to impress Park, Van Dai was chosen over Tuan.
Attacking has been a headache for Park since Phan Van Duc picked up an injury. Trong Hung is expected to reenergize the team with his speed and finishing skill.
Thailand will train at My Dinh stadium on Monday evening.
