Dinh Bac commented frankly about Vietnamese-American midfielder Tran Thanh Trung: 'He is very…'

Ahead of the 2026 AFC U23 Championship qualifiers, striker Nguyen Dinh Bac highly appreciated the new player of the Vietnam U23 team, midfielder Tran Thanh Trung.

According to Dinh Bac, the team only had a few days to gather but did not encounter many difficulties because most of the players had just competed successfully at the 2025 Southeast Asian U.23 tournament. In addition, the presence of rookie Tran Thanh Trung added to the excitement. "Thanh Trung integrated very quickly, was happy and united with the whole team. Trung is a quality player and I believe he will play well in the upcoming matches," Dinh Bac commented.

Thanh Trung is the only new player in the Vietnam U.23 team this time. Compared to the Southeast Asian U.23 squad, there is only one change, which is striker Nguyen Thanh Nhan replacing midfielder Pham Thanh Dat.

That is why Dinh Bac is confident when the U.23 Vietnam team is very united. He is confident, but also shows respect for his opponents.

"We have absolute respect for all three opponents. First, the whole team will focus on preparing for the opening match against U.23 Bangladesh. The U.23 Vietnam team is determined to achieve good results to bring joy to the fans, especially on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the country's National Day on September 2," Dinh Bac said.
