Former SLNA goalkeeper Duong Hong Son becomes captain of Vietnam U21
(Baonghean.vn) - Last night (October 20), VFF and the Organizing Committee of the 2019 National U21 Tournament decided to choose Coach Duong Hong Son as the captain of the Vietnam U21 Team to participate in the 2019 International U21 Tournament.
Duong Hong Son is a goalkeeper who grew up in the SLNA training center and played for many years for the Nghe An team (2001 - 2007). However, it was not until he joined the Hanoi Club (formerly Hanoi T&T) that the goalkeeper born in 1982 achieved many glories in his football career.
In addition to the title of “best player of the tournament” and the championship with the Vietnam National Team at the AFF Cup 2008, Son “the mountain” also won the championship with Hanoi Club at V.League 2010 and V.League 2013. Notably, Duong Hong Son was the second goalkeeper (after Vo Van Hanh) to win the Vietnam Golden Ball award in 2008.

In the 2019 National Second Division, which took place from May 11 to August 16, the Hanoi Youth team played excellently to reach the final. Unfortunately, with a 0-1 defeat to Ba Ria - Vung Tau, coach Duong Hong Son and his team had to miss the appointment with the First Division next season. However, the runner-up position is still a very encouraging achievement for the 37-year-old coach.
