As a South Korean coach, Park Hassui has performed countless miracles since coaching the Vietnamese national team, and has also brought the Vietnamese team to the round of 12 for the first time in history. But in the past year, Park's position has deteriorated, and the round of 12 has also suffered a losing streak. In the past month, the team he has coached has lost consecutively to Thailand and Australia. Coupled with the exit of the round of 12, the Vietnamese team has fallen into a desperate situation. So much so that the South Korean media sadly said: If you lose China, Park Hengxu may be out of class.
As we all know, vietnam lost 0-4 away to Australia in the 7th round of the round of 12, and after losing 7 consecutive defeats in the round of 12, it missed the World Cup in advance. However, the Vietnamese team did not care much about this game, which can be seen from the fact that they did not send all the main forces to the away game. In fact, the Vietnamese team set its sights on the Sino-Vietnamese battle on the doorstep on the first day of the Chinese New Year. For this battle, the Vietnamese team has reached the point where it is inevitable to win, and coach Park Hengxu said: to pay all the costs to defeat the Chinese team.
Why does the Vietnamese team have to win the national football team? In addition to revenge in the round of 12, the Vietnamese team also has two very important purposes, to win back the confidence of fans and retain the coaching position of coach Park Heng-su.
Park's position is really in crisis, but it actually stems from the Southeast Asian Championships held last month. Vietnam, which has always advertised itself as the "boss of Southeast Asia", suffered a heavy blow, losing the top spot in the group after a 0-0 draw with Indonesia in the group stage, which forced them to meet Thailand in the semi-finals. As a result, as expected, Vietnam lost 0-2 to thais and missed the final. Coupled with the 4-0 defeat to Australia, the Vietnamese team currently coached by Park Heung-seok is really in a desperate situation.
Regarding Park Hengxu's prospects for the Vietnamese national team, Korean media believes: "At present, Park Hengxu's magic has disappeared, and his contract with the Vietnamese team may be terminated before the vacation." On the first day of the Chinese New Year, if he loses again against the Chinese team, Park Hengxu may be at risk of leaving class. ”
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Vietnamese team sacrificed the "outside move" before the Sino-Vietnamese match. According to reporter Ma Dexing, the national football team's training ground in Vietnam - waiting stadium, the venue conditions are very poor, so bad that even some international football players are unhappy. It is reported that the stadium was built in the 1950s, and the facilities of the venue are very poor, and there is not even a special locker room and bath. This is also the main reason why the absolute main force of the national football team hastily ended training after 30 minutes of training. Vietnam's determination to win the match was evident.
In the next Sino-Vietnam War, how will the national football team coached by Li Xiaopeng deal with it? We'll see.
