Vietnam play two 2022 World Cup qualifiers against Malaysia and Indonesia soon. Before the King's Cup tournament in May Park had gone to Europe to take a look at and meet the two Vietnamese-origin players, but things have not turned out as expected. The South Korean, speaking at a press meet in Hanoi on Monday, said: "A few things concerned me after the trip. Firstly, many such players do not speak Vietnamese. They have lived in Europe most of their life, so they act and think like a native. I am deeply concerned about this difference. I wonder if they can fit in with other Vietnamese players when they return." Not many overseas Vietnamese players have been successful in Vietnam. Even famous names like goalkeeper Dang Van Lam and striker Mac Hong Quan, who are fluent in the language and have good understanding of the culture, struggled in the beginning.

"We will have to play the game on Indonesia's ground and the rival is now using more than a few immigrants, especially as attackers. Therefore, we will have to be very careful and pay high attention," Park said at a press conference in Bali Monday. The clash against Indonesia is Vietnam’s third World Cup qualifier match. The first, against Thailand, ended in a goalless draw and in the second, last Thursday, they beat Malaysia 1-0. The Vietnamese coach said that he had the chance to watch the World Cup qualifier match between Indonesia and Thailand in Jakarta last month. In that game, Indonesia used four naturalized citizens who had migrated from other countries, he noted. "No.9, Beto Gonçalves, and No.17, Irfan Bachdim, cooperated quite well and they both focused on attacking, and Bachdim also appeared to be good at free kicks." For the upcoming match against Vietnam, Indonesia has added one more immigrant in the team, raising their number to five. The players are … [Read more...] about Vietnamese coach wary of Indonesia’s immigrant strength
