The youngest and smallest player in the Thanh Chuong Children's team is Nguyen Xuan Bao, born in 2015, this year in 2nd grade. From a community soccer class, seeing that Bao had potential and talent, teacher Van Thanh Chuong called him to the team.

The youngest member of the team, Bao is very independent and brave. He still takes on the cleaning duty when it is his turn like the other seniors, strictly following the team's rules and regulations without the teacher having to remind him. Although he spends more time on the bench than playing, every time he gets on the field, Bao is very active and plays very flexibly.

Coach Van Thanh Chuong jokingly said: That's a peppercorn, small but mighty. This year, he went just to gain experience and prepare for the next season. I believe that with what he has, Bao will "make a difference" for Thanh Chuong Children's.

In the Vinh City Youth Team, there are twins Bao Tin and Thanh Vinh (Hung Dung Ward, Vinh City). They were born in 2010 after their parents already had two older sisters. Although they are the same age and are in the "adolescent crisis" stage, according to Mr. Nguyen Trong Tam - the father of the two brothers, the two brothers are very compatible, know how to give in to each other, rarely argue and both are diligent in housework.

Rising from the grassroots football tournament, Bao Tin and Thanh Vinh participated in the tournament for the first time, and were assigned to play as wingers. On the field, both played very aggressively, enthusiastically, had good stamina, and were especially good at coordinating. With 2 "darlings" playing in the Bao Cup, from the beginning of the tournament until now, Tin and Vinh's parents and 2 sisters have come to the stadium to cheer, and have not missed a single match.

After passing through the "narrow door" to reach the semi-finals tomorrow afternoon (June 14), during the break waiting for the competition, the Hoang Mai Youth team was given time by their teachers to relax and regain their strength and inspiration for the decisive battle.

The children go to Lotte supermarket, play ball, and walk around the Square. Although on the field they play with great determination, bravery, and confidence, when they “take off their role” as players, they return to their innocent, joyful nature of “the age of eating and growing up”./.
