Nguyen Ba Duc and Pham Duc Thong continue to be called up to U23 Vietnam.
(Baonghean.vn) - Mr. Park Hang-seo suddenly summoned 26 players for U23 Vietnam to prepare for the second short-term training session this July.
With the desire to have the best squad for SEA Games 30, Mr. Park Hang-seo continues to call up young and quite unfamiliar names. Mr. Park's purpose is to select and evaluate the force to find the best players to participate in the U23 Vietnam squad for SEA Games 30 held at the end of this year.
In the first short training session in July, SLNA's central defender Nguyen Ba Duc was unexpectedly called up. Ba Duc played a full half in the match between Vietnam U23 and Vietnam U18 at the PVF training center. Although this was his first call-up, it can be seen that Ba Duc integrated quite quickly and had a good performance in his first match for the Vietnam U23 team.

In order to test his abilities more thoroughly, Ba Duc was among the 15 players who participated in the second training session. This was a very encouraging sign for Ba Duc because his abilities were recognized and he continued to be given opportunities.
In addition to Ba Duc, another player from SLNA's training center, Pham Duc Thong, was also called up. This is the second time Duc Thong has been called up by Mr. Park, the last time he was one of the members of U23 Vietnam preparing for the friendly match against U23 Myanmar.

Unfortunately, during a training session before the match, Duc Thong was injured and perhaps that was the reason why he was not named in the U23 team meeting in early July. Pham Duc Thong is a player that SLNA loaned to Pho Hien to play in the 2019 First Division.
In addition to the young and new players, Mr. Park also called back some players who had previously been called up to the national team such as Phan Thanh Hau, Huynh Tan Sinh, Luong Hoang Nam, the players of U22 Vietnam who competed in the 2019 U22 Southeast Asian tournament at the beginning of the year.
