In 2020, Cai Van Quy could not participate in the national U17 tournament due to injury. However, this time SLNA had Tran Van Cuong shine.
Recently, after taking over the club, the new sponsor's leaders asked about the youth team's stars and learned that these players were injured. The club's leaders then went to their accommodation to visit and were very moved by the image of these players having to apply ice and bandage their injuries themselves. Immediately after that, the club made a plan to treat the players.
