U21 SLNA coach recommends "green rice" to try V.League

The U21 SLNA team has just finished the qualifying round of the 2018 National U21 Championship with quite impressive results, 2 wins and 1 draw, thereby winning a ticket to the final round. Although most of the players are still quite young and have never been tested in the V.League, these faces were all sent by SLNA to play for professional clubs in the First and Second Divisions.

Coach Dinh Van Dung, who has many years of experience in youth training, has won many titles with the youth teams and U21 SLNA, said: "Although compared to their seniors, the players still have many shortcomings, but in general, there are still many outstanding players. In my opinion, it is time for the SLNA coaching board to increase the number of players to practice, test their skills and gradually gain experience at the SLNA first team. That will help the players improve and perfect themselves in all aspects.

They are central defenders Thai Ba Sang, Nguyen Ba Duc, midfielder Nguyen Van Duc. In addition, Mai Sy Hoang, Nguyen Van Viet... can also completely get used to the professional football environment."

In the situation where central defenders Que Ngoc Hai and Pham Manh Hung are likely to leave to find new destinations, the SLNA leadership and coaching staff consider Thai Ba Sang - former captain of the Vietnam U19 team - as an addition for the future.

Thai Ba Sang's strengths are his ability to judge situations, his ability to jump well to compensate for his not-so-ideal height (1m74), and his ability to play the ball with full alertness. Besides, Nguyen Ba Duc is also a promising face with the ideal height of a central defender, who plays well with Thai Ba Sang in the U21 SLNA shirt.

Along with the above faces, midfielder Bui Dinh Chau is also a strong candidate for a place in the first team. In 2017, this player was a pillar in the bronze medal of the U21 SLNA team. This year, Bui Dinh Chau joined the Ba Ria Vung Tau club to compete in the Second Division as captain.

However, if he is included in the first team, Bui Dinh Chau will face many difficulties because SLNA has too many midfielders who play well in the defensive midfield position such as Hoang Van Binh, Vo Ngoc Toan, Ho Sy Sam...

During the time U21 SLNA played the qualifying round at home, SLNA’s leadership and coaching staff also attended to “watch” the young players. And the performance of these players at the upcoming National U21 Finals will be the most accurate test, reflecting their level and ability./.
