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 talent and ability, 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 as a starter, every time he gets on the field, Bao is very active and plays very flexibly.

Coach Van Thanh Chuong said jokingly: 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", 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, being arranged to play in the winger position. On the field, both played very aggressively, enthusiastically, had good stamina and were especially good at coordination. 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 any match.

Release the steam and let go of the shoulders

After passing through the "narrow door" to enter 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 strength and inspiration for the decisive battle.

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