What to do to keep overseas Vietnamese stars from feeling out of place in U.22 Vietnam, here's the secret...

U.22 Vietnam has enough players

On the afternoon of March 11, U.22 Vietnam entered the second training session at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center. This training session, the team also had full squad with the participation of Vietnamese-American midfielder Andrej Nguyen An Khanh, who had just returned from the Czech Republic.

An Khanh and Viktor Le are two overseas Vietnamese players participating in the March training session, to prepare for the training and friendly match in China.

Midfielder Viktor Le

Andrej Nguyen An Khanh is playing football in the Czech Republic.

The team's training atmosphere was very exciting, with the players' spirit of concentration. The whole team started to perform tactical exercises as required by the coaching staff. The new recruits, including An Khanh and Viktor Le, quickly integrated with their teammates, creating a good connection in the overall playing style.

In an interview with the press before the training session, acting coach Dinh Hong Vinh had positive comments about his students.

He also gave his initial comments about new player Viktor Le: "I know he often plays and is a starter for Ha Tinh Club in V-League. He meets the selection criteria. Of course, in order for Viktor Le to quickly integrate into the general playing style of U.22 Vietnam, the coaching staff will continue to train and support him."

U.22 Vietnam looking for cohesion

Besides, acting coach Dinh Hong Vinh also shared about the orientation of U.22 Vietnam in the coming time.

"Following the training session in September 2024, U.22 Vietnam aims to complete tasks in 2025, especially aiming for the 2026 U.23 Asian qualifiers and SEA Games 33. The whole team is striving to have the best cohesion, creating a strong collective," Mr. Vinh shared.

Mr. Dinh Hong Vinh also emphasized the importance of philosophical unity between the national team and U.22 Vietnam.

He said: "I have been working with coach Kim Sang Sik for a while now. We focus on maintaining a consistent philosophy from the national team down to the U22 Vietnam team. The training plans and exercises have been agreed upon by the coaching staff, ensuring consistency between the two teams."

During this training session, U.22 Vietnam will continue to focus on improving the quality of players and helping them integrate with the team's overall philosophy.

The team will participate in a friendly tournament in China from March 20 to 25, with the participation of U.22 teams: Vietnam, Korea, Uzbekistan and host China.
