Ngoc My impresses, Vietnam U.22 team must pay attention
Thanh Hoa FC disappointed in the final round of the ASEAN Club Championship group stage when they lost 0-3 to Indonesian representative PSM Makassar. However, in this unforgettable match, Vietnamese fans could still see a positive sign, which was the brilliant performance of Nguyen Ngoc My, a left winger born in 2004 and of course qualified to attend the 33rd SEA Games with the Vietnam U.22 team.
While his seniors were disappointing, Ngoc My played extremely impressively, causing a lot of trouble for the PSM Makassar defense. In the 44th minute, he skillfully dribbled past and then wisely dropped the ball for Nguyen Thai Son to run down and face the opponent's goal. Unfortunately, the midfielder born in 2003 did not finish sharply, causing Ngoc My to lose an assist.

In the 59th minute, Ngoc My successfully put the ball into the PSM Makassar net with a smart shot from a narrow angle. However, the referee raised the flag for offside while Ngoc My was still standing above the opponent's lowest defender at the time her teammate passed the ball.
In the 81st minute, Ngoc My once again put his teammate in a favorable position to shoot after another clever pass. However, he still did not have an assist as Vo Nguyen Hoang also had a poor finish.
At the age of 21, Ngoc My is making progress in Thanh Hoa Club. Although he does not play regularly, he still shows confidence and courage every time he enters the field. After nearly 200 minutes of playing in the 2024-2025 V-League, he scored 2 goals. Notably, he scored against The Cong Viettel Club, when he confidently threaded the needle through the opponent's defender and then launched a dangerous curling shot, giving goalkeeper Pham Van Phong no chance to block. It can be said that the time spent on loan at first-class teams such as Phu Tho and Binh Phuoc Clubs has helped Ngoc My accumulate a lot of experience.
Ngoc My shows that she still has a lot of potential.
Competition with former teammates
Ngoc My is a name that is still unfamiliar to many Vietnamese football fans. But for those who follow and care about youth football, this striker may be a familiar face. He played quite well with the Vietnam U.19 team to win the 2022 Thanh Nien Newspaper International U.19 Championship. In this tournament, many players in the squad for the upcoming 33rd SEA Games also played well such as Khuat Van Khang, Nguyen Thai Son, Nguyen Dinh Bac, Nguyen Van Truong...
If he maintains this form and is given more playing opportunities, Ngoc My is likely to reunite with his old teammates, and at the same time create a competition for a position on the left wing of the Vietnam national team. Among them, his biggest rival is Nguyen Dinh Bac. This season, the striker from Nghe An is making a strong comeback in the Hanoi Police Club, scoring 1 goal in the V-League and 2 goals in the ASEAN Club Championship.
In addition, Vi Hao can also be a competitor because the striker of Binh Duong Club also plays well in the left forward position. However, in the context that the U.22 Vietnam team does not have many good strikers, the striker from An Giang can be pushed inside to play as a center forward. He can even play in the right forward position.
Compared to Vi Hao or Dinh Bac, Ngoc My does not have much experience in international competition. However, under the guidance of coach Velizar Popov, many Thanh Hoa club players such as Thai Son and Doan Ngoc Tan have improved and performed well in the Vietnamese national teams. Therefore, fans expect Ngoc My to do the same to compete for a starting position at the 33rd SEA Games with the Vietnam U.22 team.
