Wenger 's prediction of Tuan Anh has come true

Seven years ago, HAGL first introduced the first course that according to the German election, these players from this course would change the face of Vietnamese football, offering typical style play following the best offensive team of the time, Arsenal.

It is not exaggerating that U19 HAGL or U19 Vietnam under the guidance of coach Graechen has developed a tiki-taka style that fascinated people. The most passionate was probably Cong Phuong, the goals that this guy scored against Australia or Myanmar left the ecstatic emotions in the hearts of Vietnamese fans. Not only that, people also admire the deadly passes of Xuan Truong, the player who is highly appreciated with the ball passing skills like the superstars of the time Xavi or Alonso.

But among the stars that day, Tuan Anh emerged as a special talent. After a short training course at Arsenal in 2013, 4 players Dong Trieu, Tuan Anh, Xuan Truong and Cong Phuong were put to trial.

Of these, coach Arsene Wenger only pointed out a player with a slightly distorted face due to the effects of lip deformity surgery. He commented this:

"Tuan Anh is one of the best players I have witnessed. He will surely be the mainstay of Vietnamese football later, as well as help them reach the world."

Although at that time Tuan Anh was really special, but no one thought this boy would shoulder the great responsibility of taking Vietnamese football to a new level. Especially when witnessing the defeat of Tuan Anh in J-League 2, and then the succession of injuries that caused career disruption.

The opportunity to return to the peak will not be there when the bad dream came back with the injury on Lach Tray yard, Tuan Anh has returned strongly in 2019. In the context of Xuan Truong and Cong Phuong going abroad to play football, Viet Hung and Ngoc Quang no longer keep their top form, Tuan Anh has become the heart of HAGL midfield.

At the same time that Park Hang-seo was looking for the only missing piece in the 3-4-3 formation that he took to conquer the continental arena, Tuan Anh appeared. Two matches with the UAE and Thailand at My Dinh Stadium were enough to prove the level of the Thai Binh-born player.

Against him is the best player in Asia 2016 Omar Abdulraman, Tuan Anh caused the player with the romantic style to turn around. Actually Tuan Anh was the difference on the pitch that day.

No need to stick from the time Mr. Park first came to Vietnam, just a good pair of legs is enough for Tuan Anh to convince Park for a slot in the first team. And now, more than ever Tuan Anh will prove Wenger's prophecy about him come true.
