The midfielders of the U.23 Vietnam team have good technique (Khuat Van Khang, Nguyen Van Truong, Nguyen Cong Phuong), and are also strong, good at collision, and have good physique (Nguyen Van Truong, Viktor Le). These factors will help the midfield of the Vietnam team to have harmony, from which they are able to perform different tasks in the midfield: competing for the ball, organizing attacks, organizing the team's play, finishing to find goals...

In addition, among the midfielders, Khuat Van Khang has good free kick ability, will be a dangerous weapon of the U.23 Vietnam team when we face set pieces. At the 2023 U.23 Asian Cup, Khuat Van Khang scored a beautiful goal from a direct free kick in the match against U.23 Malaysia.

This was a free kick in the style that Nguyen Quang Hai often performs. The ball was kicked with his left foot, with a very spiral trajectory, before heading straight into the top corner of the opponent's goal. If Khuat Van Khang develops free kicks like this at the U.23 Southeast Asian tournament this year, the U.23 Vietnam team will have more options to approach the opponent's net.

Versatile midfielders

In addition, the midfielders of the U.23 Vietnam team at this time have more versatility. For example, Nguyen Van Truong can play as a withdrawn striker or a center forward when needed. Khuat Van Khang can play well when pushed up to play as a left winger, Nguyen Phi Hoang can play as a right winger. And Viktor Le can play as both a central midfielder and a winger.

Thanks to the mobility of the midfielders, coach Kim Sang-sik can make different adjustments, helping to diversify the tactics and playing style of the U.23 Vietnam team, from which we can hope to create breakthroughs in matches with strong opponents at the U.23 Southeast Asian tournament.

According to the tournament schedule, the U.23 Vietnam team will start against U.23 Laos on July 19. Then, on July 22, we will face U.23 Cambodia. If they pass the group stage, U.23 Vietnam will compete in the semi-finals on July 25, and the final match will take place on July 29. From the semi-finals and finals, U.23 Vietnam is likely to face familiar opponents including Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. The goal of U.23 Vietnam is to win the U.23 Southeast Asian Championship for the third consecutive time.
