Indonesian newspaper: 'Vietnam is a good example for us to learn'

Vietnamese football is having the best time in history under the guidance of Park Hang-seo. Since coming to power in Vietnam, the Korean strategist has made the "golden stars" become the powerhouse of Southeast Asia, as well as an annoying opponent on the continental playground.

A positive change that can be easily noticed of Vietnam under Park Hang-seo is the fitness of the players. Currently Quang Hai and his teammates were able to play a full 90  minutes without any sign of fatigue. This is thanks to the quality training of the Korean coaching staff during each team callup.

The success of Vietnam NT is an example for Southeast Asian teams to study and follow. Especially Indonesia when they also have a Korean coach, Mr. Shin Tae Yong. Indosport wrote:

"Nothing is impossible for Indonesia under coach Shin Tae Yong to succeed and become the leading team of Southeast Asia in the same way that Vietnam has done.

Before Park Hang-seo arrived, like Indonesia, the physical condition of Vietnamese players was very poor. But since the Korean strategist's appearance, this has improved significantly and thanks to that, Vietnam became the No.1 of Southeast Asia as they won the AFF Cup 2018.

Certainly, Indonesia can completely follow the success of Vietnam. Moreover, coach Shin Tae Yong is taking the right steps when he focuses on exercising the players, instead of tactics in recent training sessions. This is an essential element for our future success. "

However, the coaching method of coach Shin Tae Yong is not appreciated by the Indonesian players. They argue that he does not make a difference from their former coach. Certainly, the Korean strategist will have a lot of work to do with the team if he wants them to become a power of Southeast Asian football like Vietnam.
