3 players of Song Lam Nghe An were called up by coach Troussier to join U23 Vietnam

On March 10, the Vietnam Football Federation sent a dispatch to Song Lam Nghe An Club requesting that the club create conditions for 3 players who have just joined the Vietnam U20 team to compete in the U20 Asian Cup to join the Vietnam U23 team. The third training session of the Vietnam U23 team will have 3 more Song Lam Nghe An players called up: Ho Van Cuong, Dinh Xuan Tien and Cao Van Binh.

Goalkeeper Cao Van Binh was called up by coach Troussier for the third phase of the Vietnam U23 team.

Playing in all 3 matches of U20 Vietnam at U20 Asia 2023, goalkeeper Cao Van Binh played excellently, saving many dangerous shots from the opponent. In addition, the goalkeeper from Dien Chau, although only 18 years old, played confidently and controlled the home team's goal quite well. With that performance, Cao Van Binh received many compliments from AFC media.

Defender Ho Van Cuong also left a strong impression with his ability to attack and defend smoothly. He not only successfully prevented attacks from the continent's top teams, but also effectively supported the attack.

As for Dinh Xuan Tien, although he has not shown his talent in the U20 Vietnam team at the 2023 U20 Asian Cup finals, the way the Nam Dan native plays will be completely in line with the philosophy of the U23 Vietnam coach. Therefore, it will not be surprising if at the upcoming 32nd Seagames, Dinh Xuan Tien is on the list of U23 Vietnam.

Coming up, U20 Vietnam will participate in the U23 Doha Cup. This will be the first tournament that new Head Coach Philippe Troussier has taken charge of the U23 team. With the appearance of many strong teams such as: U23 Korea, U23 Uzbekistan, U23 UAE or U23 Qatar... This will be a useful playground to help the French strategist have an overview of the strength of U23 Vietnam after nearly 2 weeks of gathering and training in Hanoi.

Previously, the French coach called up 41 U23 Vietnam players in phase 1. The number of players for phase 2 training has been reduced to 28 players, including 4 goalkeepers. In the second training phase, coach Philippe Troussier will further convey the playing style and tactics applied to the team, and continue to evaluate the team's strength for the next training session, starting from March 12 and ending on March 17.
