The Korean and Vietnam connection
A bond that anyone learning Korean, loving Korea, and loving Vietnamese football cannot overlook. In 2018, a glorious year for the Vietnamese national team, a year under the magical touch of coach Park Hang Seo. We have marked milestones since the beginning of the year:
♦ First time Vietnam U23 reached the AFC U23 Championship final
♦ First time reaching the ASIAD 18 semi-finals without conceding a single goal
♦ History repeated after 10 years of failure, Vietnam secured a spot in the AFF Cup 2018 final.
♦ However, perhaps you don't know, before these victories, Mr. Park was not the first choice for the Vietnamese team. He also had failures at clubs in Korea. So what made a 'Special Man', a skillful 'Leader' like him when coming to Vietnam?
Park Hang Seo, the sleeping teacher
A 'sleeping' teacher but full of dedication
Unlike other coaches, Mr. Park Hang Seo is someone who always stands by the team from meals, sleep to supporting water bottles on the field. He often stands close to the touchline, directs tactics closely for players on the field, he builds a suitable playing style, familiar short play, builds an extremely solid defensive 'wall'.
Not only that, he is like a father, a companion with the players. And like that, the image of a simple, 'strange' man from South Korea has won the affection of over 90 million Vietnamese people.
As for us, are we feeling proud of the Korean language we are pursuing, are we hoping one day to set foot in the beautiful country of South Korea - the homeland of talented coach Park Hang Seo.
