Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club sets ambitions for national team players

Up to this point, the name that has moved to Thanh Nien TP.HCM Club that has caused the most surprise to Vietnamese football fans is the goalkeeper of the Vietnamese national team, Dang Van Lam. According to information from coach Nguyen Viet Thang of Thanh Nien TP.HCM Club, Van Lam will join this club with a 4-year contract, he will receive a signing fee of about 6.8 billion VND/season.

Goalkeeper Dang Van Lam moved down to the first division to play for Thanh Nien TP.HCM Club.

Thus, the overseas Vietnamese goalkeeper will receive a total of 27.2 billion VND for a 4-year contract with Thanh Nien TP.HCM Club. It is known that Dang Van Lam still has a one-season contract with Quy Nhon Binh Dinh Club. On the morning of August 13, Quy Nhon Binh Dinh Club still sent birthday wishes to this goalkeeper on the team's homepage. He is trying to resolve the contract with Quy Nhon Binh Dinh Club to soon join the training camp with the new club.

In addition to Dang Van Lam, Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club also recruited a total of 15 players currently playing in the V-League, including central defender Nguyen Huu Tuan ( Nam Dinh Green Steel); defender Do Thanh Thinh (Nam Dinh Green Steel), central defender Le Ngoc Bao (Quy Nhon Binh Dinh), Trinh Duc Loi (Quy Nhon Binh Dinh), La Nguyen Bao Trung (Hanoi Police Club); midfielder Do Van Thuan (Quy Nhon Binh Dinh), Nguyen Duc Viet (HAGL), Nguyen Van Viet (SLNA), Tran Hoang Son (The Cong Viettel); striker Dinh Thanh Binh (HAGL), Le Minh Binh (HAGL), Tran Ngoc Son (Nam Dinh Green Steel), Pham Van Thanh (Quy Nhon Binh Dinh), Ha Duc Chinh (Quy Nhon Binh Dinh) and Pham Gia Hung (Hanoi Police Club). Among the above faces, most of them are players who have affirmed their names in the V-League. Even veterans such as Huu Tuan, Van Thuan, Thanh Thinh, Ngoc Bao, Dinh Thanh Binh... have worn the Vietnamese national team jersey.

Last season, Thanh Nien TP.HCM Club (then called Tre TP.HCM Club) performed excellently in the national second division when they finished 2nd in Group B. Then, in the play-off match for promotion to the national first division, they continued to surprise when they defeated Bac Ninh Club on penalties (2-2 draw after 90 minutes of regulation time).

After winning the ticket to play in the first division, Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club decided to change its name to Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club, and at the same time invited former assistant coach Troussier of the Vietnam national team, coach Nguyen Viet Thang, to the "hot seat" with a 2-year contract. It can be seen that, with the support of a bank, Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club is being heavily invested in the goal of winning the ticket to V-League promotion right in the first first division season. Moreover, with a strong force, experts as well as fans also believe that Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club can set the highest goal in the 2024 - 2025 National Cup because when competing in this playground, V-League clubs, if meeting Ho Chi Minh City teams, are not allowed to use foreign players, so the force is not sure to win. The most important thing for Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club at this time is how coach Nguyen Viet Thang can assemble the above players into a cohesive and harmonious squad on the field. If they can do that, it will be difficult for them to have worthy opponents in the first division this season.

The 2024-2025 first division season is scheduled to start on October 19 with 11 teams competing. However, up to now, there are still 3 teams, Khanh Hoa, Dong Nai and Dinh Huong Phu Nhuan, who have not yet had a plan to prepare for this season.
