Performance of Song Lam Nghe An players after the training session with the Vietnam National Team

1.Que Ngoc Hai

Not used in the first match against Singapore, Que Ngoc Hai, Duy Manh and Nguyen Thanh Binh created a trio of central defenders for the Vietnamese team in the match against the Indian team.

Overall, the performance of Captain Song Lam Nghe An was quite good. He still had accurate interceptions, covering situations for his teammates and sharp attacking passes. However, the defense of the Vietnam Team still allowed the opposing team's strikers to have very dangerous attacks, fortunately we still stood firm and won 3-0, thereby winning the International Friendly Tournament - Hung Thinh 2022.

In the next round of V.League, Que Ngoc Hai will be absent due to receiving a red card in the match against SHB Da Nang. The absence of the central defender from Dien Chau will be a difficult problem for coach Huy Hoang in the context of the Nghe An team's poor performance.

2.Phan Van Duc

The player from Yen Thanh was coached byPark Hang-seoentered the field in the 63rd minute of the match against Singapore to replace Van Quyet. During more than 30 minutes on the field, Van Duc played quite well, having very good coordination with his teammates on the left wing. One of them was the assist for Ho Tan Tai to score, raising the score to 3-0. In addition, Duc "tiger" almost created a masterpiece at Thong Nhat Stadium when his diving volley went just wide of the post.

In the match against the Indian team, Phan Van Duc played even more impressively. Playing from the start, the player wearing the number 20 jersey continuously had beautiful coordination with his teammates. Right in the 11th minute, Duc "tiger" chose the right position to launch an accurate volley, opening the score for the Vietnamese team. Hopefully, Phan Van Duc will bring a fresh breeze to the attack of Song Lam Nghe An in the upcoming matches.

3.Dinh Xuan Tien

The young midfielder of Song Lam Nghe An had a great performance in Indonesia. This 19-year-old player has had 3 goals and 1 assist after 3 matches in Group F. Dinh Xuan Tien's goals have proven the young midfielder's excellent running and finishing ability.

In addition to his contributions on the offensive front, the midfielder from Nghe An also adds steel to the midfield of the U20 Vietnam team. Present at every hot spot, the brave fights of the player from Nam Dan help Captain Khuat Van Khang to be more confident on the offensive front. It can be said that Dinh Xuan Tien's excellent performance contributed significantly to the achievement of winning a ticket to the 2023 U20 Asian Cup finals. Hopefully, the young midfielder of Song Lam Nghe An will continue to maintain this brilliant form when he returns to play for his club.

4.Ho Van Cuong

Used by Coach Dinh The Nam in the starting lineup in all 3 matches, Ho Van Cuong showed his important role on the right wing.

Still tirelessly attacking and defending, Van Cuong often has penetrations on the right wing to create breakthrough situations for U20 Vietnam. However, the right-back of U20 Vietnam still has situations for the strikers of the opposing teams to overcome, creating stormy situations for the goal of U20 Vietnam. Matches in the colors of the U20 Vietnam Team and ClubLam River Nghe Anwill be a valuable opportunity for the young player from Hoang Mai to improve himself.

5.Cao Van Binh

Unlike Dinh Xuan Tien and Ho Van Cuong, goalkeeper Cao Van Binh only played in the final match against the host team U20 Indonesia. With his good physique, Van Binh was expected by coach Dinh The Nam to help U20 Vietnam counter U20 Indonesia's high balls, and in fact the 17-year-old goalkeeper played very well in the first half.

However, in the second half, the excellent performance of the opposing team's attack combined with Van Binh's mistake caused the Vietnam U20 team to lose 2-3. Fortunately, that result did not affect the goal of winning a ticket to the 2023 U20 Asian Cup finals and goalkeeper Cao Van Binh can completely overcome his weaknesses to gradually prove himself in the future.
