Van Toan explains the reason why he rarely plays in Korea

“ During the recent period, I did not play much, and had little practice time because of injury and other personal matters. When I returned, I still practiced with my teammates normally. In Korea, I was fine and did not feel uncomfortable, ” striker Van Toan shared on the sidelines of the Vietnamese team’s practice session on the afternoon of September 8.

Nguyen Van Toan has not played for Seoul E-Land in the past 3 months. The last time he played in Korea was in June 2023 in a match against Busan I-Park. Van Toan was injured after the FIFA Days training session in June of the Vietnamese team.

Nguyen Van Toan returns to the Vietnam national team.

After recovering from injury, there are many rumors about Van Toan returning to Vietnam to compete. His destination is Nam Dinh Club.

The player born in 1996 added: “ I am very happy to return to the national team this time. During the time abroad, I did not meet many Vietnamese people, so I was quite sad. In Korea, I rarely talked, because after practice, I returned home alone. Coming back here to meet my brothers, I feel more motivated, people ask more questions, talk more.”

Van Toan said his team practices in the morning, starting at 10:30 and ending at 14:00. The former HAGL player eats lunch with the team and cooks dinner himself. This player maintains his practice and keeps his spirit up despite facing a lot of pressure.

This is Van Toan's second training session with the Vietnam national team under coach Troussier. Regarding professional matters, the striker from Hai Duong said: " I am getting used to coach Troussier's philosophy. Although I don't have much time, I have begun to understand and gradually adapt to the team's playing style.

Of course, working with a new coach will be difficult, but I think I also need to change my playing style to suit ."

On September 11, the Vietnamese team will face the Palestinian team. This is an opportunity for Van Toan and his teammates to show their abilities and prove their abilities to the French coach.
