Van Toan to lead Vietnam’s offensive line

World Cup 2022 Qualifiers is considered Vietnam’s main target, hence, Park Hang-seo takes the chance in King’s Cup to test and experiment the force and find new factors.

Apart from goalie, defense or midfield positions, the attack is of the most concerning problems to Vietnam head coach. Nguyen Anh Duc’s and Nguyen Van Quyet’s leave left a big hole that Duc Chinh or Tien Linh could not fill up.

VFF and Park decided to welcome Vietnamese-origin striker to improve the attack yet Alexander Dang could not impress Park Hang-seo. Thereby, King’s Cup 2019 is where to find the no.1 striker for Vietnam setup.

The trio Quang Hai- Cong Phuong- Van Duc is able to play highest in the attack but only Quang Hai keeps good form, Van Duc is in treatment process, Cong Phuong lost himself in Incheon (Korea).

Van Toan, the main striker of HAGL FC delivered an excellent performance in V-League 2019, putting HAGL 6th place on the table. HAGL has the second best attack in V-League with 18 goals following Hanoi FC (22 goals).

The number 1 star of HAGL is the best domestic striker in V-League 2019, scoring  5 goals. Van Toan also creates 4 extremely impressive assists help his team mates shine. Chevaughn Walsh’s no. 1 striker (7 goals) is the one who benefits most from Van Toan's excellent performance.

Van Toan in V-League 2019 is not only strong in speed and technique, the striker wearing the 9th shirt has the ability to move without the ball, choose the position and finish very well.

With Nguyen Van Toan, Park Hang-seo will get rid of the headache and successfully solve the problem of Van Duc injury or Cong Phuong’s poor performance. Many experts believe that Van Toan is the current No. 1 striker and deserves to be awarded the main position by coach Park Hang-seo.
