" Tuan Hai is in good form, training very well but this player has not had many opportunities. I hope he will be able to play in the final match" , coach Kim Sang-sik answered the question about Pham Tuan Hai. The Hanoi FC striker was rarely used at the 2024 AFF Cup.
Up to this point, Pham Tuan Hai is one of the players with the fewest playing minutes for the Vietnamese team at the AFF Cup 2024. The Hanoi FC player played in 3 matches with a total time of only 39 minutes.
Tuan Hai plays in the match against Laos national team.
In the match between Vietnam and Laos, Tuan Hai entered the field for 30 minutes, playing as a left wing forward, not scoring but contributing significantly to the gameplay. In the match between Vietnam and the Philippines, Tuan Hai played for 9 more minutes. He played a few minutes of extra time in the match against Myanmar.
In both the first and second leg of the semi-finals, Tuan Hai did not play a single minute. Of course, the striker born in 1998 could not help but feel sad, but he was still determined to practice and wait for the opportunity. With what he has shown, the target striker position is a competition between Tien Linh and Xuan Son. The two attacking midfielder positions belong to Bui Vi Hao, Nguyen Hai Long, Nguyen Quang Hai and even Dinh Thanh Binh and Chau Ngoc Quang.
Meanwhile, Ekanit Panya - one of Thailand's brightest stars - has not played any match at the 2024 AFF Cup. It is difficult to say that Ekanit is being kept fit. Another player who has to play despite being slightly injured or sick is Suphanat Mueanta. Even Supachok Sarachat, who has just recovered from injury, immediately started both semi-final matches despite not being in good physical condition.
Ekanit Panya could play in the 2024 AFF Cup final.
According to Thai press, Ekanit Panya's off-field commitments and poor recovery from injury were the reasons why he was not registered to play. Returning to Muangthong United from Urawa Red Diamonds, Ekanit joined BG Pathum but then immediately moved to play for Ehime FC in J.League 2.
Having spent a lot of time on his transfer, Ekanit Panya has not been able to play for the Thai national team. However, it is likely that this midfielder can play in the final match against the Vietnamese national team. With 1 goal and 2 assists in 15 matches in J.League 1, Ekanit Panya is worthy of the expectation of the Golden Temple team.
The first leg of the 2024 AFF Cup final between Vietnam and Thailand will take place at 8:00 p.m. on January 2.
