Van Duc returns after 2 years
Since being called up by coach Park Hang-seo to the U.23 Vietnam team to prepare for the U.23 Asian Cup and later the Vietnam national team, Phan Van Duc has always had a special position. To the point that many fans often jokingly call him Mr. Park's "biological son" because he is almost always the starting player whenever he is physically fit. In fact, the midfielder nicknamed Duc "tiger" is a particularly important factor in the Vietnam national team, when his ability to handle the first step and make optimal decisions helps the ball to be circulated very quickly. In particular, his tenacity and perseverance are very helpful in both defending from afar or when needing to pull back to the home field to cover and support the left back. Diligently, he often goes up and down to help create balance in the gameplay, especially helping the Vietnam national team always ensure enough players in transition situations.
Phan Van Duc (20) returning to the Vietnam national team will bring many quality options for coach Kim Sang-sik.
Unfortunately, a ligament injury while playing for the Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) forced Duc "Cọt" to leave the Vietnam national team for 2 years. Until August 23, when coach Kim Sang-sik decided to call him up to replace striker Van Toan who could not recover from his injury. Before that, on the evening of August 22, Phan Van Duc also had an impressive start to the season when he scored the opening goal in the 3rd minute, helping CAHN Club defeat Buriram United FC (Thailand) in the Southeast Asian Club Championship. Mr. Kim must have been very sorry not to be able to have Van Toan - who he was going to start in his debut match in June. However, in return, Phan Van Duc's return is expected to bring the 1976-born coach more interesting options in his playing style.
Coach Kim Sang-sik has many options
It is expected that the Vietnamese team will officially gather on August 30, preparing for two important friendly matches with two teams with strong attacks, Russia (September 5) and Thailand (September 10). This will also be a high-dose test for coach Kim Sang-sik to check the ability to withstand pressure of the defense with the return of important names appearing for the first time under his tenure such as Ngoc Hai, Thanh Chung, Hong Duy. In particular, the most worrying problem is still the problem on the left wing with two names Tuan Tai and Hong Duy. The return of Phan Van Duc, as mentioned above, is expected to create cohesion, especially the special understanding between close friends Hong Duy - Van Duc. Despite a long period of pain, Duc "Cot"'s goal-scoring ability has not been diminished much. Right from his first return to the field last season, when coach Kiatisak put him on the field in the 90th minute, he immediately scored against Thanh Hoa Club, most recently a beautiful shot from outside the penalty area that hit the Buriram United FC net.
Commentator Vu Quang Huy said: “At this time, Phan Van Duc's return is completely deserved, no one can question it. V-League has not been restarted, but CAHN Club has just had an impressive victory on an important front such as the Southeast Asian Club Championship. In the match against Buriram United FC, his starting position and scoring a goal showed an impressive comeback. Phan Van Duc is still a player with a high level of football, not old yet and always shows the spirit of overcoming obstacles to find the best. Certainly, the Vietnamese team can make good use of his talent in the ability to play attacking football close to the goal like the beautiful goal on the evening of August 22.
In addition, when needed, Duc "tiger" can also stick to the opponent like a worker bee to better support the left-back. Van Duc will increase more options for the Vietnamese team and vice versa, being called up by coach Kim Sang-sik will be a great encouragement for him personally. This training session is like a general review of old values, so that those who are still good and eager will be appreciated, and those who are on the other side of the slope can make way for new, younger and stronger blood. I believe that in that positive atmosphere, Phan Van Duc will prove his worth again."
