The Khanh Hoa coach kept U17 Vietnam striker Le Dinh Long Vu in the 26-man shortlist of U23 Vietnam. Long Vu belongs to SLNA and was on the training list of the U17 Vietnam team in Germany last year. Two players of the same generation as Long Vu, Nguyen Bao Ngoc and Nguyen Cong Phuong, were eliminated.
In the list of U23 Vietnam, most of the faces are U20 players. Besides, coach Hoang Anh Tuan has the service of some excellent U23 players such as Nguyen Quoc Viet, Pham Dinh Duy, Dinh Xuan Tien or Luong Duy Cuong.
Coach Hoang Anh Tuan finalized the list of 26 players before going to Thailand.
Tomorrow, August 14, U23 Vietnam will depart for Thailand to train and participate in the 2023 Southeast Asian U23 Championship. During the preparation process, coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team will play a friendly match with U23 Bahrain on August 15. This match is a test of the ability and integration of the players who joined the team late.
The team will then travel to Rayong province (the venue for the 2023 Southeast Asian U23 Championship). Vietnam U23 has 4 more days to complete preparations. Before the opening match, coach Hoang Anh Tuan will finalize the list of 23 players.
Vietnam U23 is in the same group with Laos U23 and Philippines U23. The matches with these two opponents will take place on August 20 and 22 respectively. The tournament consists of three groups, with two groups of 3 teams and one group of 4 teams. The group winners and the second-placed team with the best record will advance to the semi-finals.
The U23 Vietnam team in this tournament is the core of the Vietnam Olympic team participating in the 19th ASIAD in Hangzhou (China) next September.
