Although not highly rated by experts, Nguyen Van Duc is still known as a versatile player. Besides his usual position as a right-back, Nguyen Van Duc also plays quite impressively as a left-back whenever he is used.
In recent training sessions, the player from Hung Nguyen (Nghe An) has often been arranged by coach Tran Minh Chien to play as a left-back. However, to get a starting position on the left wing of Ba Ria - Vung Tau Club this season, Nguyen Van Duc will have to compete fiercely with Pham Cong Hien, a player who was loaned to Ba Ria - Vung Tau Club by Ho Chi Minh City Club.
With the appearance of quality rookies such as Nguyen Van Duc and Pham Cong Hien, it will contribute to significantly increasing the strength of Ba Ria - Vung Tau Club. It can be affirmed that Coach Tran Minh Chien's team is a strong candidate for the throne in the 2021 National First Division, along with Quang Nam, Khanh Hoa and Pho Hien.
