Determined the structure of the Vietnamese team to play Nam Dinh, beware of the 2.06 m 'giant'

Acting head coach Dinh Hong Vinh and his assistants have completed the formation of the Vietnamese team, aiming for the friendly match with Nam Dinh Club on September 4.

The Vietnamese team has 4 days to prepare.

From the time of gathering to the first friendly match with Nam Dinh Club, acting head coach Dinh Hong Vinh had 4 days to train the Vietnamese team. In the latest training session, the team initially built the squad structure. Specifically, in the goalkeeper position, Nguyen Van Viet - the young goalkeeper who is making an impressive start at The Cong Viettel was chosen. With his skillful footwork, steady mentality, and confidence in controlling the penalty area, the goalkeeper from Nghe An deserves to be the choice.

In the central defender position, for now, the trio Xuan Manh, Thanh Chung and Duy Manh are given priority to be placed in the main squad. Of course, compared to Quang Kiet, Hoang Phuc and Van Toi, the three faces above are more reassuring in both experience and understanding. Because they have been together for many seasons from Hanoi Club to the Vietnam national team. However, the endurance factor is something that Thanh Chung, Xuan Manh and Duy Manh find difficult to meet. And coach Dinh Hong Vinh can put other young central defenders on the field at certain times of the match. In particular, with a height of nearly 2 meters, Dinh Quang Kiet is expected to block the "pole" Kyle Hudlin of Nam Dinh.

Duc Chien is in good form.

Hoang Duc is still an important factor of the team.

In the central midfield position, Duc Chien and Hoang Duc received the trust of acting coach Dinh Hong Vinh. The high performance and mutual understanding of this pair at Ninh Binh Club were the key factors leading to Mr. Vinh's decision to choose them. In fact, in the first training sessions with the Vietnam National Team during this period, Duc Chien and Hoang Duc also showed their coordination, sharpness in organizing attacks and skillfulness in breaking the chain on the opponent's side.

The current trio of strikers of the Vietnam national team are familiar names: Tuan Hai, Ngoc Quang and Tien Linh. Among them, Tuan Hai and Tien Linh are looking forward to the upcoming friendly matches to prove themselves more in the Vietnam national team. In fact, the performance of both of them in the national team in the past half year has not been good. That is the reason and also the motivation for Tuan Hai and Tien Linh to be more determined.

In the two winger positions, new faces Phan Du Hoc (right wing) and Cao Pendant Quang Vinh (left wing) were tested. Vietnamese-American Quang Vinh convinced coach Kim Sang-sik to give him another chance in the Vietnam national team, after his unsuccessful debut last June, when the team lost 0-4 to Malaysia. Quang Vinh himself is also very excited about this training session. This is a good opportunity for him to get more familiar with the national team environment, as well as many teammates from other clubs in the V-League.

Nam Dinh Club has quite strong personnel and will become a quality test for the Vietnam team. Possessing many good foreign players, including Kely Hudlin - a player with an extremely tall height of 2.06 m, Nam Dinh will certainly cause some difficulties for the opponent.
