Why top of table team Ho Chi Minh City has no player to be called up?

Recently, VFF and Park Hang-seo published the official squad list including 23 players going to contend for 2019 King’s Cup in Thailand.

One notable thing is the comeback of the likes of Nguyen Manh, Tuan Anh, and Van Thanh gearing up in the national color.

Since the list’s maximum limit is only 23 players, Park Hang Seo missed many stunning-form players who is playing at V.League namely To Van Vu and Mac Hong Quan. However, one thing makes fans doubt about is that Park does not summon any Ho Chi Minh City FC player.

The very FC is leading the way of V-League 2019 and is playing most impressively in the tie so far. Chung Hae Seong’s side has gone through 11 rounds and tasted just one failure comparing to 8 victories and 2 draws.

To seize these achievements, Ho Chi Minh City mostly thanked to the hands of domestic players namely Van Thuan, Hoang Thinh, Cong Thanh, and Nguyen Huu Tuan.

Based on some resources before King’s Cup happening, Park Hang-seo would make sure to give chances to Van Thuan and Hoang Trinh who are regarded as the best center midfielder matching in V-League at present.

Van Thuan plays simply, effectively and has a natural-born leader with a great ability to grasp the whole of the pitch. Meanwhile, Hoang Thinh is in charge of covering for the teammates, always ready to rush into dangerous spots. Obviously, the absence of these two names has left many regrets.

One of the reason could result from Chung Hae Seong who might not introduce any student to Park Hang-seo. Besides, the gathering campaign time is quite short, making the coach want to take advantage of using the mainframe rather than seek out new factors.

If Hoang Thinh and Van Tuyen made it to be caped to the national team, Park Hang-seo would really hard to find out the two key men as Do Hung Dung, Luong Xuan Truong, and Nguyen Quang Hai are still there. While Mr. Park made a call to Tuan Anh not to attend King’s Cup but to help him to make acquaintance with Vietnam NT’s style.
