In his first training session with the national U22 team at the Youth Football Training Center (VYF), Vietnamese-American midfielder Bui Alex showed his efforts to perform and adapt to the new environment. He is starting to get acquainted with his U22 teammates, through another Vietnamese-American, Viktor Le.
From the moment he stepped onto the training ground and warmed up, Alex was seen chatting intimately with Viktor. Both being Vietnamese expatriates (Viktor has Russian blood), the two players had similar thoughts.
Viktor was also recently called up to the Vietnam U22 team in March and showed good integration. He scored points with the coaching staff after 3 starting matches, assisting 1 goal in his first tournament wearing the Vietnam U22 shirt (CFA Team China 2025).
With the move to "get close" to Viktor Le, Bui Alex can believe that his colleague's experiences will help the Vietnamese-Czech player quickly integrate into the U22 Vietnam team.
Bui Alex was born in 2005 and has only played in the lower leagues of the Czech Republic. When he returned home, Alex shared that he did not know much about Vietnamese football and domestic players, only knowing that in the national U22 team there was a Vietnamese-Russian player named Viktor Le.
Bui Alex's presence is also new and exciting for other players at U22 Vietnam. Sharing with the press, midfielder Nguyen Van Truong, the most experienced player at U22 Vietnam, said: "We will have 1 week to see how Bui Alex performs."
The June training session of U22 Vietnam takes place at the same time and location as the national team on the occasion of FIFA Days, as part of the VFF's preparation plan for the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 Championship, the 2026 Asian U23 Qualifiers and the 33rd SEA Games. Here, U22 Vietnam will train for about a week and have an internal match with the national team.

Van Truong matures after scandal in Thailand
Sharing with the press at the training session on the afternoon of May 30, Nguyen Van Truong said: "The most memorable memory for me at the most recent U23 Southeast Asian tournament in 2023 was the scandal of colliding with a Philippine player (fighting leading to a red card - PV).
That incident is worth looking back on and improving myself. I will never forget it, and will consider it a lesson for myself and also for my other teammates."
