U22 Vietnam will participate in the Panda Cup friendly tournament in China from November 12 to November 18. Coach Dinh Hong Vinh's team will have the opportunity to compete with many strong opponents such as U22 China, U22 Korea, U22 Uzbekistan.

Before the tournament, the 163 newspaper (China) commented on the list of U22 Vietnam. In particular, they paid special attention to player Dinh Quang Kiet of HAGL. This central defender is 1.95m tall.
Newspaper 163 has an article: "Taller than the Chinese U22 players, the new central defender of U22 Vietnam is 1m95 tall, can make it difficult for Xiang Yuwang, Wang Yudong and Kuai Jiwen".
In the article, the author emphasized: “U22 Vietnam is actively preparing for the Panda Cup, where they will face opponents U22 China, U22 Korea, and U22 Uzbekistan.
Notably, U22 Vietnam has called up central defender Dinh Quang Kiet, who is 1.95m tall, to participate in the tournament. This player is playing for HAGL Club. He is eligible to compete in the U23 Asian tournament early next year.
China U22 has a worse record than all three opponents U22 Vietnam, U22 Korea and U22 Uzbekistan in the U23 Asian tournament. Of which, U22 Vietnam won the runner-up position and consecutively reached the quarter-finals in recent tournaments. It can be said that China U22 is the team with the lowest rating.
Vietnam U22 brought many talented players to the Panda Cup, including the Russian-Vietnamese player Viktor Le. In addition, Dinh Quang Kiet is also very noteworthy. We noticed this tall center back 4 years ago. He has a great physique and a wide defensive range as a key player of the Vietnam U17 team. Quang Kiet then moved from defensive midfielder to center back, helping to increase the heading ability of Vietnamese teams.

Key players of China U22 such as Liu Haofan and Zhang Yixuan are both under 1.90m tall. If Vietnam U22 can take advantage of Quang Kiet's height, China U22's defense will have difficulty in set pieces.
The strikers of U22 China, Zhu Pengyu and Liu Chengyu, are not as tall as Quang Kiet, so they will definitely be at a disadvantage.
According to the schedule, in the Panda Cup, U22 Vietnam will face U22 China (November 12), U22 Uzbekistan (November 15) and U22 Korea (November 18). After the tournament, the whole team will return home to prepare for the 33rd SEA Games in December.
