Contrasting performances of Song Lam Nghe An players at Vietnam U22 Team
The Vietnam U22 team had excellent matches at the CFA Team China 2025 international friendly tournament. However, the young players from Nghe An had contrasting performances during this tour.
The Vietnam U22 team had 3 unbeaten matches against strong opponents such as U22 Korea, U22 Uzbekistan or the host team U22 China, thereby winning 3rd place overall at the CFA Team China 2025 international friendly tournament.
The goalkeeper contributed greatly to these three draws.Cao Van Binh. The goalkeeper of Song Lam Nghe An had reasonable situations in and out and excellent reflexes to help the home team stand firm against the attacks of opponents who were considered stronger. With those impressive performances, the goalkeeper born in 2005 was voted the best goalkeeper of the tournament.

Cao Van Binh is one of the best players of the U22 team in this tour and this will be the premise for the goalkeeper of Song Lam Nghe An to continue to maintain a starting position in the tournament.Vietnam youth teamin the upcoming training sessions.
In contrast to Cao Van Binh, the other 3 young players of Song Lam Nghe An have not clearly demonstrated their roles in the Vietnam U22 Team after 3 matches.
Dinh Xuan Tien, Nguyen Quang Vinh and Ho Van Cuong all played on the field, but all from the bench. Dinh Xuan Tien was the best with more than 30 minutes of playing time in the first two matches, while Nguyen Quang Vinh and Ho Van Cuong only had less than 20 minutes of playing time.
These are alarming numbers for young players from Nghe An. Because in this tournament, young players like Xuan Bac, Van Truong or Viktor Le played very well in the central midfield position, helping the U22 Vietnam team have a good game. Meanwhile, Hong Phuc has also won the trust of coach Dinh Hong Vinh on the right wing. Therefore, these will be strong candidates for the main squad of the U22 Vietnam team in important tournaments that will take place at the end of the year.
Not to mention the young players who are playing quite well in the Vietnam National Team such as Nguyen Thai Son, Khuat Van Khang or Bui Vi Hao. These will certainly be the pillars of the Vietnam U22 Team when they are strengthened to participate in the U23 Asian qualifiers or SEA Games 33. This makes the competition for a position in the Vietnam U22 Team more fierce than ever.

Therefore, in the coming time, young playersNghe An football teamwill have to try their best to score points in the eyes of the coaching staff of the Vietnam U22 team, thereby being named in the upcoming training sessions.
However, by being gathered in this training session, players Nguyen Quang Vinh, Dinh Xuan Tien and Ho Van Cuong will have a great advantage when they have grasped the training plan and methods of the coaching staff of the U22 Vietnam Team. Along with that is building a connection with teammates. Therefore, if they continue to have good performances at the club, these players will continue to have the opportunity to show themselves in the U22 Vietnam Team in the upcoming training sessions.
