This move is considered appropriate in the context that the police team possesses many quality options in defense such as Tran Dinh Trong, Doan Van Hau, Hugo Gomes, Bui Hoang Viet Anh or Cao Pendant Quang Vinh.
Competing for a position makes Pham Ly Duc not have many opportunities to play in the V.League, although before that he was a regular factor in the U23 Vietnam squad participating in the AFC U23 Championship finals.
In the opposite direction, PVF-CAND is suffering a force loss when center-back Hieu Minh suffered a serious injury and has to be sidelined until the end of the season. This forces the team's coaching staff, headed by coach Nguyen Thanh Cong, to add personnel to strengthen the defense system in the remaining period of the season.
Joining PVF-CAND is considered an opportunity for Pham Ly Duc to accumulate more top-level playing experience through playing more regularly. The center-back born in 2003 had his first training session with the new team on the afternoon of February 25 and is expected to soon integrate, contributing to strengthening the solidity of PVF-CAND's defense in the near future.
