(Baonghean.vn) - Nguyen Van Viet is having to compete fiercely with his teammates for the goalkeeper position of U23 Vietnam.

Up to this point, experts and football fans still do not know who is the number 1 goalkeeper of U23 Vietnam in the upcoming tournament in Qatar. Because coach Hoang Anh Tuan has 4 excellent goalkeepers: Quan Van Chuan, Nguyen Van Viet, Doan Huy Hoang and Tran Trung Kien.

Normally, each team can only use a maximum of 3 goalkeepers for a tournament. In that case, one of the 4 faces mentioned above will have to be an involuntary spectator at the 2024 AFC U23 Championship. It is known that before the match with U23 Kuwait (April 17), coach Hoang Anh Tuan will shorten the list of players of U23 Vietnam from 27 to 23.

In many aspects, Quan Van Chuan and Nguyen Van Viet are the two names with more advantages. Besides their proven talents, they are also the pillars of Hanoi Club and Song Lam Nghe An, while Tran Trung Kien is on the bench at Hoang Anh Gia Lai, and Doan Huy Hoang only plays for the First Division team Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc.

Obviously, the first two positions for the goalkeeping position of U23 Vietnam at the 2024 U23 Asian Cup will belong to Quan Van Chuan and Nguyen Van Viet. The question is who will gain the absolute trust of coach Hoang Anh Tuan? Objectively, the opportunity is divided equally between Quan Van Chuan and Nguyen Van Viet.

It should be noted that at the 2023 Asian Games, Quan Van Chuan was used by coach Hoang Anh Tuan in all 3 matches. In general, the performances of the goalkeeper currently playing for Hanoi Club are only average. In particular, Quan Van Chuan is often quite poor in entering and occupying space.

Unlike Quan Van Chuan, Nguyen Van Viet possesses all the necessary skills of a modern goalkeeper: quick reflexes, good situational judgment, skillful footwork... What the 2002-born goalkeeper has done in the colors of Song Lam Nghe An is a typical example. This is something that coach Hoang Anh Tuan cannot help but pay attention to.

Therefore, the recent and upcoming training sessions of Quan Van Chuan and Nguyen Van Viet will help coach Hoang Anh Tuan make the final decision for the No. 1 goalkeeper position of U23 Vietnam in the opening match against U23 Kuwait. If based on purely professional factors, Nguyen Van Viet will be the one "chosen to entrust with gold".

Let's wait and see which goalkeeper will coach Hoang Anh Tuan put his trust in at the 2024 AFC U23 Championship, the tournament held in Qatar?
