Korean newspaper reacts when 2.06m tall striker is ready to naturalize as a Vietnamese citizen

(Dan Tri) - News Nate believes that if the Vietnamese team has striker Kyle Hudlin, who is 2.06m tall, it will cause trouble for top Asian teams like Korea and Japan.

Striker Kyle Hudlin has made a strong impression after his debut for Nam Dinh FC. The striker born in 2000 is 2.06m tall and is very strong in aerial combat situations. Right in his debut for Nam Dinh FC, Kyle Hudlin scored a double against Hanoi Police FC in the National Super Cup match at Thien Truong Stadium on August 9.

In a recent interview, Kyle Hudlin confirmed his willingness to become a Vietnamese citizen. This has caused concern among the Korean press. They believe that if the 2.06m tall striker is added to the Vietnamese team, it could cause many difficulties for top Asian teams such as Korea and Japan.

News Nate wrote: “Kyle Hudlin is one of the tallest players in the world . This player is ready to become a naturalized player to play for the Vietnamese national team under coach Kim Sang Sik. Kyle Hudlin has expressed his desire to devote himself to Nam Dinh Club and the Vietnamese national team.

Kyle Hudlin was born in England in 2000. He has an outstanding height and is known as the tallest player in the world when playing in England.

The striker played semi-professionally for Solihull Moors in the English 5th Division from 2020-2021. He then moved to the English 1st Division club Huddersfield Town but was continuously loaned out to lower-division clubs.

In July last year, when his contract with Huddersfield Town expired, Kyle Hudlin decided to play for Nam Dinh Club. The 2.06m tall player has proven to be a formidable threat in the opponent's penalty area. With just one cross, Kyle Hudlin can break down the opponent's defense.

If Kyle Hudlin joins the Vietnam national team under coach Kim Sang Sik, he could pose a threat to many top Asian teams such as Korea and Japan.

Kyle Hudlin certainly poses a threat to Asian defenders. If coach Kim Sang Sik has his own tactics to take advantage of Kyle Hudlin's height, the Vietnamese team will create many difficulties for the opponent."

However, according to the law, Kyle Hudlin needs to play continuously in Vietnam for 5 years to be eligible to wear the Vietnamese national team jersey. Therefore, this can only be a future option for the "Golden Dragons".
