Vietnam team still has reserves, ready to explode against Singapore

That star is Nguyen Hoang Duc. In the group stage matches, Hoang Duc always plays an important role for the Vietnamese team. The reason why Hoang Duc has not scored is because, except for the first half of the match against Indonesia, the player currently playing for Ninh Binh Football Club played quite low in the rest of the group stage. Hoang Duc plays in the central midfielder position, with the task of regulating the play for the whole team, sometimes with the additional task of defending from afar for the Vietnamese team, but he rarely plays the role of rushing forward and launching shots.

However, Hoang Duc's role was highly appreciated by former VFF Vice President Duong Vu Lam: "I have high expectations for Hoang Duc. He is gradually becoming the boss in the midfield of the Vietnam national team. He keeps the rhythm for the whole team, helping the different positions in the Vietnam national team to connect. Hoang Duc only lacks a goal in this tournament. With a player with good qualities like Hoang Duc, at the hottest moment, he will speak up. At that time, the goal can come from this player's feet."

Hoang Duc plays an important role in the midfield of the Vietnamese team.

In terms of expertise, it is possible that the Vietnamese players who scored and exploded in the recent matches such as Tien Linh, Quang Hai, Vi Hao and especially Xuan Son have been studied by the Singaporean opponents. It is not impossible that the above players will be closely guarded by the Singaporean defenders. In that context, a character who has not been noticed much by the opponent like Hoang Duc will be the surprise option of the Vietnamese team.

Moreover, Hoang Duc's range of activity is too wide, making it difficult for opponents to keep up with him. From the central midfield position, Hoang Duc can observe, choose the right moment, rush into gaps in Singapore's defense, and then deliver a finishing blow to his opponents.

Hoang Duc brings many solutions whenever the Vietnamese team is in a deadlock.

Regarding this issue, former coach of the Vietnam national team, Mr. Phan Thanh Hung commented: “The Vietnam national team is rated higher than Singapore because our personnel are stronger. There are characters who have not been used in the match with Myanmar a few days ago, such as Hai Long, Doan Ngoc Tan, although they have good skills. These players have scored in previous matches, and can continue to score in the semi-finals.

Even Hoang Duc, who has not scored yet, is a valuable backup attacking option for the Vietnam team. When needed, this midfielder can create a very good explosion. He is good at technique and has good finishing skills."

When familiar attacking options are controlled by the opponent, the Vietnamese team will look for another attacking option that has not been revealed yet, and that attacking option could be Hoang Duc.
