We witnessed striker number 9 Van Sy Hung, a small player, dribbling like a circus performer, passing midfielders and defenders to put the ball into the opponent's goal. Surely everyone has seen that left-back Huu Thang is the one who many times tackles, takes the ball from the opponent's striker's feet, without breaking the rules. "Juniors" like center back Huy Hoang have also learned how to tackle, blocking the attack of the opponent's striker.
Following the footsteps of his predecessors, striker number 10 Van Quyen has repeatedly dribbled past midfielders and defenders, scoring goals against the opposition. In particular, Van Quyen is Vietnam's number 1 player in free kicks with the highest efficiency.
Football fans in the province and the whole country still remember in the AFC Asian Cup match held in the capital city of Doha (Qatar), Van Quyen passed a series of midfielders and defenders to accurately shoot the ball into the goal of the Korean team, winning for the Vietnamese team.
