With the "label" of being a first team player, Le Thanh Lam is almost guaranteed a place in the center of the defense. Therefore, the remaining position is a competition between Ho Trong Vang and Ho Khac Luong. In terms of reputation, Ho Khac Luong is slightly better than his senior Ho Trong Vang, because he was a player of the U19 Vietnam team and just had a successful season with Phu Dong Club.

From U19 Vietnam to Phu Dong Club, Ho Khac Luong is an "irreplaceable" pillar. In the 2020 National Second Division, Ho Khac Luong was often used by coach Nguyen Trung Kien. The achievement of winning the promotion ticket of Phu Dong Club, thanks in no small part to the central defender born in 2001.

Ho Khac Luong is a modern style of central defender. Not only does he excel in his defensive duties, the player from Quynh Luu is also very active in supporting the team's attack. In addition to his highly accurate cross-field passes, Ho Khac Luong is also very dangerous in finishing situations. The goal against SHB Da Nang youth team in round 13 is a typical example.

That does not mean that Ho Trong Vang's chances of starting in the U21 National Qualifiers are impossible. Although not as "famous" as Ho Khac Luong, the 1999-born player is still a talented and experienced central defender. This season, Ho Trong Vang is a mainstay of Kon Tum Club, the team that finished 4th in Group A in the 2020 National Second Division.

Let's wait and see, will Ho Khac Luong or Ho Trong Vang be on the field in the first match of U21 SLNA, against U21 Tay Ninh, taking place at 3:00 p.m. tomorrow, November 26?
