3 factors that will decide the confrontation between U23 Vietnam and U23 Indonesia

That could be Van Truong, a player who was expected to make a breakthrough after making great strides in the youth teams. Van Truong was given opportunities by coaches like Hoang Anh Tuan or Troussier.

However, there was a time when he could not maintain his concentration on the field. After the mistakes of his youth, Van Truong has recently shown that he is playing more and more maturely.

His playing style is becoming more and more complete and versatile in the midfield position. If before Van Truong only had an attacking tendency, now under the guidance of coach Kim Sang-sik, the young midfielder of Hanoi Club can play back when needed to support his teammates.

At the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 Championship, Van Truong is the player who regularly plays the most in the attack. This partly shows that coach Kim Sang-sik has faith in him. Against a strong and fast opponent like U23 Indonesia, Van Truong can play his role well in the midfield.

Will Van Truong be trusted by coach Kim Sang-sik when U23 Vietnam faces U23 Indonesia?

The second face is midfielder Khuat Van Khang (The Cong Viettel ). Van Khang is expected in this tournament, besides his professional skills, he also has a lot of experience playing in V-League and regional tournaments.

Van Khang's transfer value is also the highest in the current U23 Vietnam team according to transfermarkt. It is not surprising that Van Khang is one of the faces of U23 Vietnam that the Indonesian press is most wary of.

In the forward line, coach Kim Sang-sik can also put his hopes on two other names, Nguyen Quoc Viet and Dinh Bac. Although they missed many opportunities in the first three matches, both are the type of strikers who are hard-working, dynamic and full of desire.

U23 Vietnam has a generation of players with great aspirations to follow in the footsteps of their seniors.

After 3 matches, Dinh Bac has scored 2 goals for himself in the U23 Southeast Asian tournament. In particular, the "rebellious" quality of the Hanoi Police striker can be effective against a fierce opponent like U23 Indonesia.

In terms of strength, U23 Vietnam and U23 Indonesia are considered quite balanced. This is the time when factors with special qualities can shine to decide the outcome of the match.
