On May 21st, Beijing time, a shocking news came out from the Vietnamese media: former Vietnam national team captain Do Hung Dung underwent gastrointestinal surgery due to an injury and is now under hospitalization. This event, undoubtedly, has left a deep impression on Chinese fans, because his performance in the past year on the Asian field is dazzling. Recalling the New Year's Eve in 2022, Du Xiongyong transformed into the core defender of the national football team, Jiang Guangtai, in the match, making the national football captain Wu Xi have to shrink his head to defend, making the national fans feel a touch of bitterness in the festive atmosphere. !

Among them, Do Hung Dung's condition is more serious, having just completed surgery two days ago. It is reported that they need to rest for at least two months before they can recover and join training. Hanoi, currently second in the league but likely to be overtaken by their rivals, have suffered a serious injury last year that could have a major impact on their career and their recovery is not as fast as it used to be. !

After his return to the Vietnam national team and domestic league, the team's performance was mediocre. He lost seven consecutive matches against the national soccer team, but was eventually defeated by Li Tie's national soccer team. Do Hung Dung's ability to control the midfield is a world away from the national soccer team. Some Vietnamese media said at the Tokyo Olympics that if they wanted to beat the national soccer team, they had to rely on Do Hung Dung. As expected, after Do Hung Dung's comeback, Vietnam's performance improved significantly. In the match with the national football team, he repeatedly broke through Jiang Guangtai's defense and passed the ball accurately, making Wu Xi exhausted. In the next match, Do Hung Dung showed his strength again, breaking through Chiang Quang Tai's defense twice and passing the ball to his teammate Nguyen Chin Ling in the middle of the field. Zhu Chenjie, who was responsible for defending Ruan Jinling, completely lost his defensive position. The Asian Games are expected to kick off after Do Hung Dung's recovery. Vietnam will send its U22 team to compete. At the Dubai Cup, Vietnam U22 became the only team that failed to score. At the Southeast Asian Championships, they lost to Indonesia and finished only third, not even reaching the final. The strength of Vietnam's young players has pulled away from before. This may be related to FIFA's strict age review of Vietnam since 2019. Do Hung Dung is expected to play in the Asian Cup next year, but he will likely not meet the national soccer team again. Vietnam is in a critical period of transition between old and new, with many young players likely to fade out of the national team. And the national football team is also undergoing a blood change, with a clear trend of rejuvenation. In addition, the authenticity of the age of players such as Ackerson and Jiang Guangtai is questionable. When the two teams meet again in the future, it is hard to predict the winners and losers.
