3. Tran Minh Vuong

4. Phan Van Duc

The player of Song Lam Nghe An Club shows his fearsome ability with smart moves; actively supporting the defense. The midfielder born in 1996 has only played 1 match for the national team. In the recent V.League, he scored 9 important goals for the Nghe team.

5. Tran Dinh Trong

Along with Duy Manh, Dinh Trong has become a steel shield for the U23 team as well as the Vietnam Olympic team in recent times. In the 2018 V.League, Dinh Trong played 14 matches for Hanoi and only wore the national team shirt once. In the upcoming training session, Dinh Trong will have to compete fiercely with other experienced central defenders such as Que Ngoc Hai, Duong Thanh Hao or Bui Tien Dung...
