Dream of gold medal SEA Games 33
Two years ago, at the 32nd SEA Games, U.22 VN team trained by Mr. Troussier had a large number of midfielder attacks and technical plays such as Khuat Van Khang, Le Van Do, Huynh Cong Den, Dinh Xuan Tien … but lacking the midfielder specializing in recovering the ball, doing defensive duties from afar. That is why the team is very fragile in the ability to intercept. Every time the opponent counterattack is easily conceded because their players do not encounter obstacles from defensive midfielders, specializing in recovering the ball.
Currently, U.22 VN under coach Kim Sang-Sik has a stronger, more balanced midfield between the ability to attack and the ability to defend, more harmonious between technical and muscle factors. The U.22 VN team at this time is still there midfielder attacking Dinh Xuan Tien and Khuat Van Khang. In addition, Nguyen Van Truong and overseas Vietnamese Andrej Nguyen An Khanh are also the attacking midfielders waiting and playing in terms of techniques.
The central midfielders of Viktor Le (1.78 m), Nguyen Quang Vinh (1.74 m) and Nguyen Thai Quoc Cuong (1.73 m) will hold the midfielder to intercept and defend from afar. These are all players playing fiercely, not afraid of collisions, good bodybuilding. They are the empty midfielder in the U.22 VN team at the 32nd SEA Games.

In addition, in the age of 22, Vietnamese football also has a central midfielder Nguyen Thai Son, which is wearing a national team, will be supplemented for U.22 VN at the 33th SEA Games and U.23 Asian qualifiers taking place in 2025.
Forge defense first, attack later
From March 20, 25, the U.22 VN team will attend the international friendly tournament in Jiangsu (China) with the home team U.22 China, South Korea and Uzbekistan. These teams are stronger than us. Therefore, this will be a tournament to help the U.22 VN team forge defense, forge bravery to cope with the pressure of the teams stronger than themselves.
After that, closer to the 33th SEA Games (taking place from 9 – 20.12), the object of rubbing for U.22 VN will have a degree of gradual decline. Explaining the competition with the strong teams first, with the weaker teams, former VFF Vice President Duong Vu Lam said: “The friendly competition with strong teams far away from the tournament to help players enhance professional quality, increase stamina and increase their bravery, help them get used to the tense atmosphere in international matches. Cong.
This is the formula that has created a success for the Vietnamese team in the AFF Cup 2024. Before the 33 SEA Games, the U.22 VN team will re -implement this journey, in the hope of winning gold medals, like the seniors who have done it.
