It is not difficult to predict the young talents who will have the opportunity to participate in the AFF Cup 2024. In defense, Phan Tuan Tai is the brightest option if Jason Quang Vinh Pendant does not complete the naturalization procedure in time. Tuan Tai is skillful, intelligent and is an important ball development channel for the Vietnamese team.
Basically, the defender born in 2001 is playing well in V.League. After a short break due to injury, Tuan Tai meets the professional requirements and high intensity of competition. The player of The Cong Viettel brings more peace of mind than Nguyen Phong Hong Duy, Hoang Thai Binh or Nguyen Van Duc.
Meanwhile, Bui Vi Hao has performed brilliantly in several friendly matches of the Vietnam national team. He has great potential but is currently overshadowed by the performances of his seniors such as Nguyen Tien Linh and Nguyen Tran Viet Cuong at Binh Duong club. However, Vi Hao is still a quality choice for coach Kim Sang-sik.
The team from the land of Thu has many young players on the rise, but not everyone is lucky enough to be in good form ahead of the 2024 AFF Cup. Vo Hoang Minh Khoa continues to prove his great influence on Binh Duong's playing style, but has not won a starting position since returning from a shoulder injury last season.
Another young player who has received a lot of attention is Nguyen Thai Son. The midfielder born in 2003 has played enough minutes for Thanh Hoa club this season. In coach Velizar Popov's tactical system, Thai Son plays an important role and has been a pillar of the Thanh team for the past 2 years.
Basically, Thai Son and Minh Khoa will bring an explosion of youthful energy to the midfield. Using this duo is a risky calculation but worth trying for Mr. Kim Sang-sik.
Meanwhile, Nguyen Dinh Bac has brought many worries to fans. In the most recent match between Vietnam and India, the performance of the young striker from Nghe An was quite disappointing. He has not been able to find himself and the quality of his football at the Hanoi Police club is nothing special. Dinh Bac will still be on the training list, but whether he can play or not is another matter.
However, the Vietnamese team can still expect from young talent. However, the strategic talent of coach Kim Sang-sik will play a big role in the ability of this group of players to shine.
