Le Van Thuan (right striker/Thanh Hoa)
Dong A Thanh Hoa is always a team that introduces many impressive young players. This year, they gave Le Van Thuan a chance.
The player born in 2006 began to be used by coach Popov in the midst of the first leg and shined when Mr. Tomislav Steinbruckner took over the team.
By the end of the season, Van Thuan has played 16 matches, including 5 starting matches. He scored 2 goals and had 4 passes for his teammates to score.
Called up to the U23 Vietnam national team, Le Van Thuan continued to score in a friendly match with the seniors of the national team. It is not ruled out that this right winger will have a place to participate in the 33rd SEA Games, even an official position.
Nguyen Ngoc My (left striker/Thanh Hoa)
Nguyen Ngoc My scored 2 goals in 15 matches for the Thanh team this season, including a beautiful finish against The Cong Viettel.
After the injury in the return period, Ngoc My's form is not too impressive although it is still maintained at a stable level. However, Mr. Kim Sang-sik still gave him a chance in the U23 Vietnam team.
This player has to show more to score. But basically, Ngoc My is still awaited by fans because he can also play as a striker when needed. The 2004-born player was used to this position when he was still playing for the youth team.
Pham Ly Duc (center back/Hoang Anh Gia Lai)
Pham Ly Duc is certainly a young player with a leap forward. He quickly became a mainstay of Hoang Anh Gia Lai when the team from the mountain town did not have enough personnel. His convincing performance in the V.League helped Ly Duc rise to U23 Vietnam and then unexpectedly be promoted to the national team when many of his seniors were injured.
However, Ly Duc's start was not smooth. He played in the second half of the match where Vietnam lost 0-4 to Malaysia. It is difficult to blame Ly Duc because in front of this player is a squad of overly high-quality naturalized stars.
Cao Van Binh (goalkeeper/Song Lam Nghe An)
Cao Van Binh is not a strange name to Vietnamese youth football fans. In the Nghe An team, Van Binh accepted to be a reserve for his senior Nguyen Van Viet - currently playing for the national team. But when Van Viet was absent, Van Binh took his place and proved how excellent he was.
The goalkeeper born in 2005 has the ability to compete with Tran Trung Kien in the U23 Vietnam goal. He is confident, controls the ball well and has many miraculous reflexes.
Nguyen Quang Vinh ( midfielder/Song Lam Nghe An)
Playing 24 matches in the V.League, 3 matches in the National Cup, Quang Vinh became a mainstay of Song Lam Nghe An even though he was only 20 years old. Of course, this midfielder has many opportunities to shine when his hometown team is in danger, not having enough potential to recruit any excellent players.
It is undeniable that Quang Vinh showed incredible opening spirit and confidence in every phase of the match. He is certainly Mr. Kim Sang-sik's hope at the 33rd SEA Games.
