Ruslan Kuang, perfect replacement for Quang Thanh?

As Huynh Quang Thanh, Vietnam's first choice at right-back position, is definitely ruled out of upcoming AFF Cup due to injury, it is surely a big blow for the national team. Who could be reliable enough to be his replacement?

Doan Viet Cuong will likely be called up for the task but do we have another option? What about Ruslan Kuang, who started 18/30 games at right-back position in the top league of Bulgaria? Just my two cents.

Michal Nguyen approached by VFF

Vietnamese-Czech centre back Michal Nguyen was reportedly offered to play for Vietnam national team at AFF Suzuki Cup 2012. The 22-year-old is currently playing for Czech second-tier club Banik Most and had a couple of appearances last season. Although Michal can't speak Vietnamese, he's tempted by Vietnam's offer and is in process of acquiring Vietnamese citizenship through his father's root.

Another Czech-based player, Mac Hong Quan, is member of Vietnam U22 squad. Despite the team's disappointing display at AFC U22 Championship qualifiers in Myanmar, the 20-year-old midfielder showed some signs of quality. His contract with Sparta Prague B has expired earlier this month.
