Vietnam’s advance to the football semifinals at this year’s Asian Games has electrified the nation. For some, the team’s recent victory at the Asian Games harkens back to January of this year when the team clinched a spot in the under 23 Asian Championships. Central to all the success is former Korean national team assistant coach Park Hang-seo. In fact, many in Vietnam are referring to his achievements as so-called “Park Hang-seo ‘Magic.’” Park’s next task will be to face-off against his compatriots when Vietnam plays Korea for a spot in the finals.
