Coach Park Hang-seo and his students, Vietnam, have only one game left until the end of the season.
Vietnam defeated Indonesia 2-0 in the second leg of the semifinals of the 2022 Southeast Asian Football Federation (AFF) Mitsubishi Electric Cup (hereinafter referred to as Mitsubishi Cup) held at My Dinh National Stadium in Hanoi, Vietnam on the 10th (hereinafter Korean time). The first leg was tied 0-0 on the 6th, but Vietnam won the final ticket with a victory in the second leg.
This matchup was a confrontation between Korean leaders. If coach Park led Vietnam, then Indonesia had Shin Tae-yong, former head coach of the Korean national team. They showed a tight game, drawing without scoring in the first leg. Even the battle of nerves for each team was fierce, such as not shaking hands with each other. However, after the game, he showed himself as a pro who accepts the results. Coach Shin Tae-yong said, “Vietnam played a good game. “Congratulations on keeping the scoreless,” he said.
Director Park’s ‘Last Dance’ also received attention. Director Park left a big footprint after taking the position of Vietnam manager in 2017. Vietnam, which was evaluated as a football periphery, has grown into an Asian ambush. In the past, during the 2002 FIFA Korea-Japan World Cup semifinals, Guus Hiddink was assisted by coach Guus Hiddink, and he even earned the nickname ‘Ssaldink’ (Vietnamese staple rice + Hiddink). 메이저사이트
Coach Park’s journey continues until this tournament. The last schedule with Vietnam is the Mitsubishi Cup. Coach Park and Vietnam, who reached the top in the last 2018 tournament, once again advanced to the final in five years. They laid the foundation for a perfect ending.
Director Park did not hide his joy. “Vietnam has not won against Indonesia in the Mitsubishi Cup for 26 years. I had to break the jinx for future juniors,” he said. “I am still an ordinary director. There are many excellent people among the coaching staff and players. I will repay the love of Vietnamese soccer fans by winning the championship.”
