National football coach Henrique Calisto, who returned to Hanoi from Portugal Wednesday, told Tuoi Tre he is anxious since the short training camps do not seem adequate considering what the team will soon come up against.
You have included both greenhorns and veterans in the team …
As I say, the door to the national team is wide open to all competent footballers. What I have done just mirrors that viewpoint.
So why have you recalled Huy Hoang, Van Quyen, and Van Truong who have not played for the national teams for years?
Though they committed some mistakes in the past, they have paid for them. So now if they can prove that their returns are worthy and they can be pillars of strength for the team, why cannot I give them the opportunity?
I have appraised them thoroughly and recognized their desire, and they have performed rather well in the V-League. So they meet the minimum requirements to be included.
But Van Quyen was often on the bench during the last season. Can he do well for the national team?
Including someone in the national team is my responsibility, but playing depends on their own effort. So do not think that just because they are included they will play.
Since Quyen seems overweight for a professional footballer, I will have specific tactics for him as I did at the 2002 Tiger Cup in Indonesia.
What will be the first thing for you to do when the two teams meet next Monday?
Health check, since most of our players seem to have used up their physical and mental strengths in the national league. So I have to check to know who should get enhanced physical or mental training or both.
I need my boys to be at their fittest physically and mentally so that they can withstand harsh competition during the last selection.
How many footballers will play in the minor football league for the 1,000th anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi, and how many of the U-23 team will go to India for the friendly match on September 14?
There may be 20 for the former, but I have yet to decide on the exact number for the latter since I have to work with my assistants and the VFF for a final decision.
But I will not take all 30 boys to India so that they can continue training at home.
But the national squad now has only 27 players. So are the remaining spots meant for SHB Danang players?
If they meet my requirements and have no injuries, they can join after finishing duty at the AFC Cup.
