On the afternoon of March 24, Hanoi Police players gathered with the Vietnamese national team to prepare for 2 international matches against Bangladesh and Malaysia. Notably, this is also the first return of center-back Tran Dinh Trong since a long period of injury treatment.
On the sidelines of the team's training session, Dinh Trong shared: "The first time I heard the news of my name on the list, I was really happy and excited, because it has been a long time since I returned to the Vietnamese national team. When I put on the national team jersey again after many years, I felt really happy.
The player born in 1997 added: "Family is a great source of motivation to help me return from injury. And right after the official list was announced, I also shared the joy with my family.
In this gathering, the Vietnamese national team force has up to 7 players belonging to the Hanoi Police Club. Dinh Trong believes that being able to train with teammates at the managing team is an advantage, because everyone understands each other too well.
However, he emphasized that other players of the Vietnamese team are also quality factors.
This gathering, Mr. Tien Dung is absent due to injury and I have also asked about his situation. As for Duy Manh, the two of us still maintain a very good relationship and hope to be side by side in the upcoming matches.
In addition, I met and greeted Xuan Son and Hoang Hen a few times, but I haven't spoken much because my English is not good," Dinh Trong said.
Looking forward to the next 2 matches, Dinh Trong said: "It has been a long time since I was called up to the national team. Although the Vietnamese team has officially reached the finals, I will still put my highest determination, especially the match against Malaysia. I have also just reviewed the two opponents and the whole team will meet to evaluate".
According to the plan, the Vietnamese team will play a friendly match with Bangladesh on March 26 at Hang Day Stadium (Hanoi). After that, the whole team will host Malaysia on March 31 at Thien Truong Stadium (Nam Dinh).
