Coach Shin Tae-yong’s career would have been much different in Southeast Asia if he had not encountered Coach Park Hang-seo. Mr. Shin was completely stuck on how to win against Vietnam under Coach Park Hang-seo, from playing ugly to doing many psychological warfare games on social networks and learning tricks to gain an advantage in the future. lacking the spirit of fair play.
The controversy happened before the 2022 AFF Cup semi-final second leg, coach Shin Tae-yong posted a series of clips on social networks to put pressure on Doan Van Hau and the referees. He also told Marc Klok to pretend to be attacked when marking Van Hau. But Indonesia still couldn’t change its defeat when it lost 0-2 to Vietnam and was completely helpless in how to play.

Everything changed last night. Coach Shin Tae-yong celebrated his first goal against the Vietnam national team for the first time and enjoyed the joy of victory. He won the battle so his speech was pleasant, not as harsh as in the past. The former coach of the Korean national team said that winning against Vietnam was due to luck.
In fact, coach Shin Tae-yong has a reasonable strategy, stifling Vietnam’s midfield most of the time. Vietnam is better than Indonesia in terms of ball control (57% compared to 43), but has 6 fewer shots and has 1 red card. Indonesia’s victory came from Thanh Binh’s mistake, but the result reflected the superiority in playing style compared to Vietnam.
The above number is in complete contrast to the semi-final second leg of the AFF Cup 2022. Indonesia is better than Vietnam in terms of ball control time (53% compared to 47) but did not have a single shot on target. Vietnam easily defeated Indonesia 2-0 thanks to Coach Park Hang-seo’s more reasonable and skilled fighting style than Coach Shin.
Coach Park Hang-seo’s talent was demonstrated specifically by his results against coach Shin Tae-yong. Vietnam team won twice with scores of 4-0 and 2-0, two draws 0-0. U23 Vietnam defeated Indonesia 3-0.
Coach Park Hang-seo is the quintessence of Indonesian football.
Coach Park Hang-seo rarely speaks like he preaches about theory or far-fetched goals. He concluded about the coaching profession: “As a coach, don’t just talk, prove it with results.”
Under Mr. Park, Vietnamese football’s fate completely changed against Indonesia. Vietnam had 11 unbeaten matches, before receiving two consecutive defeats under coach Troussier.
