I think that if U23 Vietnam prepares better, the gameplay will be more beautiful and more positive. Anyway, I’m happy that the bright spot of U23 Vietnam is their playing style, competitive attitude, and team spirit.
Previously, in the Vietnam U19-U20 group that I led, Quang Hai was a special factor. Before that, Vietnam had excellent Cong Phuong, Tuan Anh, and Xuan Truong. And in this tournament, I see you guys create a high level of collectivity and solidarity.”

In the current U23 Vietnam squad, there are many players who are still old enough to attend the U23 Asian finals in 2 years. Coach Hoang Anh Tuan has faith in this group of young people, but at the same time hopes they will have the opportunity to play more in the domestic tournament.
“It should be emphasized that 90% of the players competing in U23 Vietnam this time have rarely played on the field, including V.League and First Division. I have statistics on the playing time of the players for about 1 month. Mostly, only Quan Van Chuan can play for more than 600 minutes.
Other players rarely play. There were even cases of not playing a single minute for a whole month, before gathering for U23 Vietnam. That’s what I think, ponder, and worry about. Each team has its own goals and orientation. I respect the club’s decision because they use players depending on the purpose for the whole season
At The Cong Viettel, Khuat Van Khang rarely plays. Van Tung and Van Truong have not played regularly at Hanoi FC. Since returning to the Hanoi Police Department, Van Cuong has also fallen into a situation where he fights sometimes. Le Nguyen Hoang has only recently been facilitated by Song Lam Nghe An. Rarely do Thai Son or Duy Cuong get a lot of kicks.
Indeed, it is not easy for the club to create conditions for all young players. Therefore, I told my students that they themselves must learn what they have done and what their circumstances are in order to improve themselves and try to compete for a regular spot in the tournament. club. Only then will the teams trust it and give them the conditions to compete,” the Khanh Hoa strategist emphasized.
