Striker Cong Phuong came last in the running practice ahead of the November 14 match against UAE.
UAE and Vietnam had training sessions in rainy, cool weather at My Dinh stadium to get used to the field. Both sides expressed their excitement before their important encounter.
Fitness coach Park Geon Yeong works with Vietnam senior team, while Park Sung Guyn assists U22 Vietnam at PVF Training Center.
Park Geon Yeong's exercises are interesting as they entice players’ competitive spirit . In the sprinting, the physical assistant divided the team into small groups of 4-5 players to race to the finish line.
This test vividly showed the strengths and weaknesses of players’ speed. While Hoang Duc, Quang Hai, and Anh Duc’s shortness of breath was understandable. But Cong Phuong, who is known for his fast speed, was far behind other runners.
