Expected lineup of U19 Song Lam Nghe An in the final match of the 2025 National U19 Tournament
After nearly two decades of waiting, U19 Song Lam Nghe An entered the final match of the 2025 National U19 Championship with the desire to touch the championship trophy. To overcome the "high mountain" called PVF, coach Huy Hoang will likely make important adjustments in tactics as well as personnel.
It can be affirmed that U19 PVF participating in this year's tournament is considered very strong with depth of force, along with diverse and unpredictable tactics. And facing a high mountain like PVF, coach Huy Hoang will certainly come up with tactics with many changes compared to the semi-final match against U19 Ba Ria Vung Tau. Most likely, the coach from Nghe An will use a 5-3-2 formation to approach the match, in which U19 Song Lam Nghe An will apply a defensive counter-attack strategy to overcome the opponent.
On the human resources side,U19 Song Lam Nghe Anare at a great disadvantage when they cannot have the service of midfielder Nguyen Trong Tuan due to receiving 2 yellow cards in two consecutive quarter-final and semi-final matches. This will really bring a headache to the coaching staff of U19 Song Lam Nghe An.
And to replace the position left by Trong Tuan, there are only 2 players who can meet the requirements, which are Quoc Hoa and Ho Long Vu. Among them, Quoc Hoa will most likely be chosen to be the main player, because this player has stronger technical skills. Especially, in the qualifying round of the 2025 National U19 Tournament, Quoc Hoa is often used by coach Huy Hoang in the role of attacking midfielder.
So it can be predicted that the midfield trio of U19 Song Lam Nghe An will belong to Quoc Trung, Van Linh and Quoc Hoa. Above will be the combination of the striker duo Trong Son and Phung Van Nam. These are 2 players with speed and technique. They are expected to bring about a breakthrough in situations of transition from defense to counterattack built by coach Huy Hoang.
The defense is considered the key point, deciding the success of U19 Song Lam Nghe An in the final match. Therefore, the best players from the beginning of the tournament will definitely be selected by the coaching staff of U19 Song Lam Nghe An. And it is not difficult to predict that the trio of central defenders will be in charge of Van Tam, Van Thanh and Tan Dung.
In the wingback position on the right wing, Tan Minh will naturally have a starting position. Because since the beginning of the tournament, this player has always shown the ability to attack and defend rhythmically. In particular, the defender wearing the number 12 shirt also possesses powerful and accurate throw-ins, which will be an important weapon to help coach Huy Hoang's team find opportunities in front of the U19 PVF goal.
On the opposite side, Anh Dung and Hoang Huu Nhat Sang both have the opportunity to play, but if we compare physique and strength, Hoang Huu Nhat Sang has the advantage over his colleague. Therefore, it will not be surprising when coach Huy Hoang chooses Nhat Sang for the left wing position.
With a defensive counter-attacking style of play, U19 Song Lam Nghe An will have to endure great pressure from U19 PVF. However, if they maintain tactical discipline and make the most of the opportunities they have, the Nghe An team can absolutely create a miracle to end their 20-year thirst for the Gold Cup.
The final promises to be a top competition, where bravery, tactics and fighting spirit will decide the throne.
