“Thank you, teacher. 5-year journey” Vietnamese fans give ‘heart-warming support’ to director Park Hang-seo
Vietnamese football fans wholeheartedly cheered coach Park Hang-seo (64).
Vietnam, led by coach Park Hang-seo, will play the first leg of the 2022 AFF (ASEAN Football Federation) Mitsubishi Electric Cup final against Thailand at My Dinh National Stadium in Hanoi, Vietnam on the 13th at 9:30 pm (Korean time). The second game will be held at Thammasat Stadium in Pathum Thani, Thailand on the 16th.
Previously, in the semi-finals, Park Hang-Seo-Ho won a ticket to the final by defeating Indonesia under coach Shin Tae-yong.
The ‘defending champion’ Thailand won the tournament by defeating Malaysia, which was led by coach Kim Pan-gon.
I am interested in whether the end of director Park Hang-seo will be decorated with a ‘winner’.
Coach Park Hang-seo, who has been coaching the Vietnamese national team since September 2017, will end his accompaniment with Vietnam at the end of this month.
The morale of the Vietnamese players is soaring. It is because I want to give the last gift to coach Park Hang-seo, the “Vietnamese national pope,” with a “winner.”
Manager Park Hang-seo said he needed a victory ‘for the fans’, not because of himself.
At a pre-press conference, he said, “The players shouldn’t be under pressure because of me. As a national team player, the fact that I must win for the fans 스포츠토토 is the most important thing. My job is to motivate the players, not burden them.”
The fever for the finals is even hotter as it is the last tournament of coach Park Hang-seo and the opponent is the ‘rival’ Thailand.
The ‘defending champion’ of the 2020 tournament, Thailand, is the country with the most wins in the tournament. 6 times.
On the other hand, Vietnam has lifted the championship cup twice, including in 2018, when it won with coach Park Hang-seo.
While it was reported that 40,000 tickets for the first game were sold in an instant, fans cheering for coach Park Hang-seo gathered around the stadium before the game started.
One fan said, ‘Thank you sir. I visited the stadium holding a banner with a Korean writing on it, ‘A journey of five years’. Another fan was holding a ‘mini statue’ of director Park Hang-seo in his hand.
Attention is focusing on who will win the first leg of the ‘Southeast Asian World Cup’ in the hot heat.
