In Jordan, it can be said that Pham Xuan Manh is one of the players who left his mark along with goalkeeper Tuan Manh and the faces in the defense. He was the player who advanced to attack, assisting striker Anh Duc to score in the 24th minute of the match.

Looking at the starting lineup, Xuan Manh is the name that brings the most surprises. Watching Xuan Manh's tackles, no one would think that this is the first national level match that this player has participated in. More specifically, this is the match on the 22nd birthday of this player born in 1996.

After the match, Xuan Manh shared: “When I stepped onto the field, I also felt a bit of pressure and difficulty in getting into the game because this was my first time wearing the national team jersey - a much higher level than the club or U23 level. However, having Ngoc Hai by my side also helped me feel more confident.

Jordan played faster, stronger, and was much taller, so it was really difficult to face and compete with them. Anyway, I feel happy and pleased for a successful match for the whole team."

In this match, not only Xuan Manh’s players but many other players of U23 Vietnam also left a lot of impression. Evaluating Xuan Manh’s performance, former coach of U21 Vietnam, Mr. Nguyen Minh Duc said:

“I used to coach Xuan Manh at the U21 International Tournament. I still follow him and see that Xuan Manh is improving every day. Dinh Trong and Duy Manh are needless to say. Even Tien Dung - who rarely plays because Viettel's First Division has not started yet, is also playing well. Young players playing well like this is very good news for the future of the Vietnam team.”

After a period of time without Nghe An players in the national team, the four faces Que Ngoc Hai, Pham Xuan Manh, Ho Khac Ngoc and Phan Van Duc all played well when they were put on the field. Performing their duties in the national team and competing with opponents of higher caliber really brought young players like Van Duc and Xuan Manh valuable accumulations when they returned to SLNA to compete in the V.League.

Tomorrow morning (March 29), Pham Xuan Manh and his teammates Ngoc Hai, Khac Ngoc, and Van Duc will return to Vietnam to prepare for the match against FLC Thanh Hoa in round 4 of the V.League taking place on April 1 away./.
