Doan Ngoc Tan is the "new sweeper" of the Vietnam team.
The person who fills the void of Do Hung Dung in the Vietnam national team
Do Hung Dung once wrote the magical story of a late blooming flower, when he was 23 years old he was promoted to the first team of Hanoi Club and when he was 25 years old he was able to join the Vietnam national team.
However, Do Hung Dung then achieved success with the 2018 AFF Cup championship, the 2019 Asian Cup quarter-finals, the 2026 World Cup third qualifying round and the 2022 AFF Cup final...
Time is harsh on top sports . The burden of injuries and overload due to long working hours have caused Do Hung Dung to lose his good form and be out of coach Kim Sang-sik's plan for the AFF Cup 2024.
Doan Ngoc Tan (left) is one of the players who practices "hard" in Korea.
Whatever the reason, his absence still leaves regret and worry from a part of the fans. But it seems that coach Kim Sang-sik has calculated a suitable replacement plan with a new name, which has similarities with the story of Do Hung Dung.
In the training session of the Vietnamese team taking place in Korea, rookie Doan Ngoc Tan is one of the players with the most "on fire" performance.
The intense, competitive and persistent playing style that coach Popov applied at Thanh Hoa Club was recreated by the midfielder born in 1994 in the Vietnam national team, exactly what Mr. Kim expected and required.
Coach Kim Sang-sik needs someone to help "clean up" so Hoang Duc can unleash his creativity.
Doan Ngoc Tan's Lifetime Opportunity
In fact, without Hung Dung, the Vietnamese team is lacking a shuttle midfielder who can both ensure the ability to compete and block and operate widely to fill the gaps of his teammates in attack.
Thai Son has certain qualities, but he is still young and still needs to accumulate more improvements to make up for his physical limitations. Meanwhile, the names Thanh Long, Quang Hai, Hoang Duc are all technical midfielders, tend to keep the rhythm and need partners to support "cleaning up" in the middle of the field.
The Vietnamese team is having good training results in Korea.
Of course, Mr. Kim's choice still carries risks as this is the first time Doan Ngoc Tan has been selected for the national team, and in a tournament with great pressure like the 2024 AFF Cup.
But believe that coach Kim Sang-sik has made the right choice, when Ngoc Tan has played very well in the midfield of Thanh Hoa Club. Hopefully Doan Ngoc Tan will fill the void left by Do Hung Dung.
