Record-holder Toản looks ahead to continental challenge

Adding this to his clean sheets in the semis and final at the SEA Games  三0, he hasn't conceded a goal in  七 五0 minutes of SEA Games football -- a new record for the tournament.

Toản, returning to play after a shoulder injury, broke the old record set by Nguyễn Minh Quang, who didn't concede for  四 七0 minutes in the  二0th SEA Games in Brunei in  一 九 九 九.

“I am surprised hearing about the record. I don’t know I had set a record,” Toản told reporters.

“It is clear that it is an achievement for the whole team. My defenders worked extremely well so I was not very busy,” he said.

Toản said it took a little bit of time for him to get into the game after being off the field for so long. However, he quickly found his rhythm and made some impressive saves.

Despite making history, Toản’s favourite moment was Nghiêm Mạnh Dũng's goal.

"It was Dũng’s incredible header that scored the championship goal. We beat arch-rival Thailand to top the SEA Games,” Hải Phòng City-born Toản said.

“His winner sent the Mỹ Đình Stadium into a frenzy. The stadium literally exploded with thousands of people, including me, jumping up for joy and happiness.”

A big challenger

At the  二0 一 九 Games, Bùi Tiến Dũng was the first-choice goalkeeper, where the team won a historic Asian Championship silver in  二0 一 八. But after the first three matches, Toản was picked for the starting squad and has been kept his place until now, except for a six-month injury in October  二0 二 一.

The stable performance of the  二 三-year-old has made it hard for South Korean manager Park Hang-搜索引擎优化 unable to drop him from the national squad, including the recent  二0 二 二 World Cup qualification campaign.

There is little doubt that he would be part of Park’s squad for a friendly against Afghanistan on June  一, if it was not for the U 二 三 side.
