Quang Hai, Quang Vinh rematch with old friend: Just as fiery as the final of the Southeast Asian Cup C1

Having just had a heated confrontation at the Southeast Asian Cup C1, two players of the Hanoi Police Club, Nguyen Quang Hai and Cao Pendant Quang Vinh, are about to face off again with Dion Cools of the Malaysian team - a player currently playing for the Thai club Buriram United.

Quang Hai continues to be expected

In the second leg of the Southeast Asian Cup C1 final on May 21, receiving a beautiful pass from Quang Hai, naturalized player Cao Pendant Quang Vinh overcame center-back Dion Cools to score a goal to help Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) lead 1-0. But the away team was unlucky to lose to Buriram United in the penalty shootout. On June 10, Quang Hai and Quang Vinh will face Dion Cools again, when the Vietnamese team faces Malaysia at Bukit Jalil Stadium, in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers. Dion Cools is a mainstay in the home team's defense, while Quang Hai will almost certainly start and Quang Vinh may also be deployed by coach Kim Sang-sik from the start.

In the CAHN club shirt, Quang Hai and Quang Vinh coordinate very well, so fans expect them to continue to shine together to have an effective match in the Asian playground. As a midfielder with the best passing ability in Southeast Asia today, Quang Hai will play a very important role on the attacking front of the Vietnamese team. Quang Hai emphasized: "Malaysia is Vietnam's main opponent in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers. In the key match in June, Vietnam will face many difficulties, but we will try to achieve the best results". Meanwhile, rookie Quang Vinh shared: "With 10 days of training with the Vietnamese team, I believe I will adapt quickly. I will try my best so that coach Kim Sang-sik will not be disappointed".

The 1.85m tall center back Dion Cools and the Malaysian defense will have a hard time when the Vietnamese team has skillful players like Quang Hai or powerful players like Quang Vinh. However, with a large number of naturalized players, Malaysia will also be a huge challenge for the Vietnamese team to face at Bukit Jalil Stadium. The rematch between the CAHN team and Buriram United Club is therefore predicted to be very interesting.
