The deployment of the 3-5-2 system shows that U19 Song Lam Nghe An prioritizes defensive safety, while also creating conditions for defenders to participate in attacks more flexibly.

This helps the team maintain stability in defense and creates the premise for quick counterattacks.

The 5-man midfield will play an important role in maintaining ball control as well as supporting defense or attack. Tan Minh and Anh Dung will be tasked with wide areas, supporting both flanks, helping the team balance between offense and defense. In the central area, Quoc Trung, Trong Tuan and Van Linh will play the role of regulating the play.

The striker pair Trong Son and Phung Van Nam are the main factors on the attacking front. Trong Son has speed and agility, suitable for fast counter-attacking play, while Phung Van Nam has a very good sense of goal. This combination promises to create many dangerous situations for the opponent.
