On February 3, Beijing time, almost all Vietnamese media set their sights on Du Xiongyong, the captain of the Vietnamese team.
The '93 player is in the year of playing. But in 2021 suffered a major injury. This gave him a break of 10 months, of which more than 4 months, and he couldn't even get out of bed.
However, in January this year, Du Xiongyong returned to the field. In 2 World Cup matches, he scored the highest scores from The Vietnamese team. In the confrontation with the national football team, Du Xiongyong faced exactly the captain of the national football team, Wu Xi.
In March 2021, during a Vietnamese league match, Hanoi captain Du XiongYong suffered an injury. He was completely deformed by his opponent's ferocious foul that caused the calf of his left leg to be completely deformed. Vietnamese media said at the time that his football career could end.
Perhaps because of this serious injury, the Vietnam League was later cancelled. Unlike the national football team, in the past year, Vietnamese players have not played in any leagues.
After the Vietnamese team reached the round of 12 in the World Preliminary Round, Coach Park Heung-seok also went to the hospital to visit Du Xiongyong.
In June last year, the national football team members suffered serious injuries tomorrow. After that, Tang Miao suffered an injury. The Vietnamese media reported on the situation of the two men, and predicted that they may return to the field before Du Xiongyong. (During the Olympics, I reported on Du Xiongyong's latest situation)
As a result, the strong back-up player, in September of last year, began walking with a crutch. Around October, it is already possible to participate in simple sports. By December, Du XiongYong had returned to the Vietnamese team and participated in a small amount of training.
Du Xiongyong is very important to the Vietnamese team, and many Vietnamese media said before the start of the round of 12 that he was an important means to contain Wu Xi.
Du Xiongyong was able to return so quickly that even head coach Park Hengxu could not have imagined it. After competing against Australia, Park decided to give it a try.
Teacher Park succeeded, Du Xiongyong succeeded. He was the absolute strongest in the game, scoring a game-high of 8.1 points in the whole game. The confrontation with Wu Xi also ended in a complete victory.
Just after the opening, a foul by Wu Xi injured Du Xiongyong's left leg. This was where he was badly injured, and he was extra angry. After that, Du Xiongyong scored the ball on the right side of the national football team, and neither Zhang Linpeng nor Wu Xi stepped forward to block his cross.
Du Xiongyong, who easily found defender Hu Jincai, helped his teammates score their first goal. It was also the first goal at home for the Vietnamese round of 12.
Vietnam's second goal was also an assist by Du Xiongyong. He and No. 11 Fan Junhai played Xu Xin on the side road 2 over 1 and preempted Jiang Guangtai's cross. Jiang Guangtai, who lost his position, did not cut off his pass, and the Vietnamese team completed the second goal.
In addition, Du Xiongyong had 2 times to get the ball in the penalty area and quickly returned to his teammates, all of which formed a goal. Fortunately, the national football goalkeeper reacted well and blocked these 2 attacks.
In defense, Du Xiongyong faced Wu Xi. He not only completed the task well, but also successfully broke the ball from behind Luo Guofu. However, due to his height, he suffered a lot in the fight for the top and physical confrontation.
It's hard to imagine that the player of the eighth round of the World Cup almost left football 10 months ago. But after returning, Du Xiongyong showed his talent.
Checking the past results of Du Xiongyong, Du Xiongyong first participated in the U23 Asian Cup in 2016 and became a Vietnam international in 17 years, which is much more real than the age of Du Wei Meng introduced earlier.
Du Xiongyong's characteristics are very similar to his peer Xie Pengfei. Unfortunately, this former teammate of Wu Xi has not been selected for the national team for a long time.
