Efforts to integrate
During the recent training camp, Do Hoang Hen quickly became one of the standout faces in the national team's training sessions. The midfielder, born in 1994, demonstrated professionalism, high concentration, and especially a proactive attitude in every exercise.
It's easy to see Hoang Hen's determination as he always arrives very early at the training ground, proactively familiarizes himself with the training plans, and actively communicates with the coaching staff and teammates.
Wearing the national team jersey for the first time was a special milestone in Hoang Hen's career. For him, it was not only an honor but also the culmination of a long journey of effort and waiting.
Vietnam national team summons naturalized player Do Hoang Hen.
Unable to hide his emotions, the midfielder shared that he has always longed for the opportunity to contribute to Vietnamese football and will do his best to repay the trust placed in him.
"I am very happy and proud to wear the Vietnamese national team jersey. I love Vietnam and will try my best to play well for the national flag," Hoang Hen expressed with emotion.
According to the coaching staff, Hoang Hen not only integrated quickly professionally but also gained favor thanks to his serious attitude and eagerness to learn. He proactively communicated and connected with his new teammates, and quickly adapted to the living and training environment of the national team - something not every player can do on their first time joining the national team.
A major advantage for Hoang Hen is that he is not entirely unfamiliar with many current national team players. While playing for his club, he previously played alongside names like Do Duy Manh, Nguyen Hai Long, Pham Tuan Hai, and Nguyen Xuan Son. This pre-existing connection significantly shortens the time it takes for the 1994-born midfielder to adapt, creating the necessary cohesion in their playing style.
Hoang Hen also revealed that he received encouragement from coach Kim Sang-sik from the very first day of training. The South Korean coach encouraged him to play confidently, comfortably, and to showcase his true abilities. This is considered an important morale boost that helped the newcomer prepare for his debut.
Waiting for a successful launch.
The arrival of Do Hoang Hen has brought high expectations to fans, not only because he is a naturalized player but also because of what he has shown in the colors of his previous clubs, from Nam Dinh to his current club, Hanoi FC.
At the V.League level, Hoang Hen is considered one of the outstanding attacking midfielders. He possesses impressive long-range shooting ability, intelligent movement, and always knows how to be in the right place at the right time in attacking situations. Not only does he play a creative role, but this midfielder also scores goals directly – a factor that the Vietnamese national team desperately needs to diversify their attacking options.
What fans are most looking forward to is the connection between Hoang Hen and Nguyen Xuan Son - his former teammate who played alongside him at Nam Dinh . The two are considered a highly compatible duo thanks to their long time playing together. If they can replicate this understanding in the national team, it will be a promising attacking option for the Vietnamese national team.
In addition, experts are paying special attention to the potential partnership between Hoang Hen and Hoang Duc in the midfield. Hoang Duc is considered the "brain" of the team's playing style, with his ability to regulate, pass, and control the tempo.
A noteworthy detail that further raises expectations is that, in the list of "Top Scorers" in this season's V.League, Hoang Hen and Hoang Duc are the two domestic players with the most goals, each with 6 goals.
This figure shows that both players have a significant ability to participate in attacks and contribute goals, opening up many tactical options for coach Kim Sang-sik, especially long-range shots from the second line, a "weapon" that can create breakthroughs in deadlock matches.
Nevertheless, Hoang Hen still faces a significant challenge. The international environment is always much more demanding than the club level, both in terms of psychological pressure and professional requirements. Not every player can shine on their first appearance, especially when having to adapt to a different tactical system and pace of play.
The match against Bangladesh was therefore not only a "warm-up" for the whole team, but also a personal test for Hoang Hen. Fans didn't demand that he immediately shine brightly, but they expected to see his confidence, fighting spirit, and ability to connect with his teammates.
If he makes good use of his playing opportunities, showcases his inherent qualities, and quickly adapts to the team's playing style, Hoang Hen could absolutely become an important player in the national team's midfield in the near future. And who knows, perhaps from tonight's match at Hang Day Stadium, a new journey will officially begin for this highly anticipated midfielder.
