Xuan Truong: 'U23 Vietnam wants to meet Thailand in the next round of M-150 Cup'

On behalf of U23 Vietnam, midfielder and captain Xuan Truong had an interview with Thai reporters before the M-150 Cup started.

After the U23 Vietnam training session on the afternoon of December 8, the host country's press in Thailand wanted to interview striker Cong Phuong. However, coach Park Hang Seo assigned midfielder Xuan Truong to meet with Thai reporters.

The player who is playing for Gangwon Club in Korea shared: “U23 Vietnam is aiming for the U23 Asian Cup finals, so this is a good opportunity for the team to prepare for the big match. The team does not aim to win the championship.

Xuan Truong is a very important player of U23 Vietnam.

In the first match, we will meet the tough team Myanmar again, hoping for a victory so we can meet Thailand again in the next round."

Luong Xuan Truong was elected by the coaching staff and teammates as captain of the U23 Vietnam team to participate in the friendly tournament in Thailand and further in the 2018 U23 Asian Cup finals held in China.

Wearing the captain's armband of the U23 Vietnam team for the first time, Xuan Truong shared: "I am quite happy to be trusted by everyone to be the captain of the U23 Vietnam team and I do not feel any pressure at all.

The U23 Vietnam team is a collective, not just me. Besides me, there are 2 vice-captains, Duy Manh and Tien Dung. We will do everything for the strong U23 Vietnam team in the future."

When asked about the goal of U23 Vietnam at the 2018 U23 Asian Cup finals, the captain of U23 Vietnam said that at this time, coach Park Hang Seo and his team are still in the preparation period and there is still more than 1 month from now until the tournament in China, enough time for the U23 Vietnam players to progress and improve themselves.
