U21 International - Thanh Nien Newspaper - strongly impressed with players named Dung

(Baonghean.vn) - Because goalkeeper Quang Tuan made a mistake in the opening match, it is very likely that in the match against U21 Yokohama (Japan), we will see 4 Tien Dung names appearing in the U21 Vietnam squad. In the match against U21 Myanmar, 3 Tien Dungs appeared quite impressively, in which midfielder Bui Tien Dung was also voted the best player of the match.

Coincidentally, coach Pham Minh Duc has 4 players named Tien Dung participating in the U21 International Tournament - Thanh Nien Newspaper Clear Men taking place from December 18 at Thong Nhat Stadium. First of all, they are the pair of goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung (Thanh Hoa) and midfielder Bui Tien Dung (PVF, Than Quang Ninh).

Goalkeepers Bui Tien Dung (1997) and Bui Tien Dung (1 year younger, born in 1998) are from Phuc Thinh commune (Ngoc Lac, Thanh Hoa). Having loved football since childhood, in 2010, the family sent both Tien Dung and Tien Dung to train at the youth training center (private) in Thuong Xuan district, Thanh Hoa. Initially, Bui Tien Dung played the position of central defender, while his younger brother Tien Dung played right back.

When this training center ran out of money and closed, the two brothers Bui Tien Dung and Bui Tien Dung heard that PVF was recruiting players in Thanh Hoa. When PVF recruited players, Tien Dung was too old so he had to stay home but advised his younger brother to try out. The younger brother Tien Dung was selected by PVF to go to the South and became one of the best players of the PVF training center. He was then borrowed by Than Quang Ninh to play in the 2016 season.

Due to the lack of goalkeepers, Tien Dung was later given a try by FLC Thanh Hoa, "transferred to him" and recruited into the first team as a reserve goalkeeper to participate in V.League 2016.

After that, he caught the eye of coach Hoang Anh Tuan and became the number 1 goalkeeper of U19 Vietnam. Both brothers were named in the main squad of the U19 Vietnam team that made a splash in winning a ticket to the 2017 U20 World Cup in Korea. Among them, midfielder Bui Tien Dung was highly appreciated by experts for his simple but effective playing style, similar to Hoang Thinh. With good physique and sharp tactical thinking, this midfielder is truly the boss of the midfield of U21 Vietnam.

Center back Dung "military zone" has a promising future.

Center back Bui Tien Dung (Viettel) is a guy from Ha Tinh with the nickname "Dung quan khu" because he was a player who grew up from training in Military Zone 4 since 2008. He was unexpectedly called up to replace injured center back Dong Trieu to join the U19 Vietnam team to participate in the U19 Southeast Asian tournament 2014 but was always highly appreciated and was the most favorite center back of Coach Miura.

This is the central defender that HAGL's Mr. Duc really likes but Viettel refuses to sell. Left-back Dam Tien Dung (Viettel) was discovered by the head coach of the Vietnam U19 team, Grachen Guillaume, and he was called up as a supplement. Dam Tien Dung's idol is left-back Luke Shaw, an English player born in 1995 who is playing for MU.

Left-back Dung "Shaw" is playing better and better.

Coach Pham Minh Duc has given three names to debut in the opening match. If Quang Tuan is not in the goal, the screen will show the fourth name Tien Dung, a rare thing in Vietnamese football.

In fact, in the 90+3 minute, goalkeeper Quang Tuan rushed out unreasonably, creating conditions for Naing Oo to easily tap the ball into an empty net to equalize for U21 Myanmar.

Most likely, Quang Tuan's mistake will open up an opportunity for goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung and we will see a lineup of 4 Tien Dung.
