Important link in the left wing
Nguyen Van Vi, a relatively new name to Vietnamese football fans, has really made a strong impression in the journey to win the 2024 ASEAN Cup Championship of the National Team. Having played 10 times for the "golden star warriors", Van Vi has proven that he is not an ordinary rookie.
With stability and impressive form, this full-back has become one of the indispensable factors in coach Kim Sang-sik's tactics.
At the 2024 ASEAN Cup, Van Vi not only participated in defense but also contributed greatly in attack, when he scored the first goal for the Vietnam National Team in the journey to the championship.
This achievement was further consolidated when Van Vi continued to score 3 goals in 2 international friendly matches against Cambodia and Laos last March.
What is special is that Van Vi has good attack support and stable defense. His physical strength and outstanding speed help him always maintain his form throughout the matches.
Transferred to Nam Dinh Steel Club from the 2023-2024 season, Van Vi and his team won the V.League and National Super Cup 2024 championship. This excellence helped him be called up to the Vietnam National Team, continuing to play an important role, contributing to the victory and stability of the team.
A new breeze in midfield
Besides Van Vi, another notable name, Minh Khoa, also made his debut for the Vietnam National Team on March 25 in the match against the Laos National Team.
Minh Khoa left a strong impression with his enthusiastic playing style, good ball control ability, creating dangerous opportunities for his teammates. He played very well in the match against Laos, contributing to the victory of the home team.
The appearance of Minh Khoa promises to create a new breeze on the right wing of the Vietnam National Team, adding an important choice for coach Kim Sang-sik.
Next factor in defense
While the Vietnam National Team's attack is changing strongly, the defense is not lacking promising players.
The player plays very consistently in the Hoang Anh Gia Lai shirt - Pham Ly Duc is one of the important successors in the team's defensive system. Although he has not had many opportunities to show himself in the Vietnam National Team, what Ly Duc has shown at the club level is enough to make fans believe in his ability to develop in the future.
In addition to Van Vi playing consistently on the left wing, the experiences on the right wing with Vu Van Thanh or Truong Tien Anh also help coach Kim Sang-sik reap the necessary factors to build a solid defense for the Vietnam National Team.
With new players such as Van Vi, Minh Khoa and Ly Duc, the Vietnam National Team is full of hope for further goals in international tournaments.
In the context that the Vietnam National Team is aiming for higher goals, especially the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup, new factors will be an important key to help the team maintain stability and improve overall strength. Vietnamese football is entering a new stage of development, with many great hopes and opportunities.
