Previously, striker Nguyen Dinh Bac of U23 Vietnam was absolutely leading in the vote for Typical Player as well as Impressive Goal of the 2026 AFC U23 Championship organized by AFC, with an almost overwhelming rate compared to the rest.
However, a day later, the situation of this race quickly reversed dramatically when both representatives of U23 China, goalkeeper Li Hao and striker Xiang Yuwang, surpassed the striker of U23 Vietnam in both categories.
As of the afternoon of January 29, U23 China goalkeeper Li Hao surpassed Dinh Bac in the poll when he won more than 41% of the votes, 36.33% is the number that the U23 Vietnam striker has achieved to date.
While in the Most Impressive Goal category, striker Xiang Yuwang is also far ahead of Dinh Bac with more than 88% of the votes, while Dinh Bac's number of votes only accounts for more than 10%.
The reason why 2 members of U23 China are "turning the tide" to overcome striker Dinh Bac is also quite understandable when U23 China has a huge number of fans. Therefore, it is understandable that both Li Hao and Xiang Yuwang received a superior number of votes from the billion-people country.
