Hoang Duc is considered the most comprehensive midfielder in Vietnam at the moment.
There is no doubt that Hoang Duc is considered the most talented midfielder in Vietnamese football at the moment. The 2021 Vietnam Golden Ball is increasingly perfecting himself in the role of conductor of The Cong - Viettel Club.
Coach Philippe Troussier himself has also shown special interest in this talented student. Many times people saw the French coach in the stands of Hang Day Stadium watching the matches of The Cong - Viettel Club.
Mr. Troussier was visibly worried and restless when the midfielder born in 1998 was injured in the match against Thanh Hoa Club in round 2 of V-League 2023-2024 on October 27.
Since September, Mr. Troussier has even boldly experimented with Hoang Duc in the role of a false striker, often moving wide to pull people and act as a fulcrum to connect the ball with surrounding satellites.
Hoang Duc's positive status
However, surprisingly in the two official matches opening the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Mr. Troussier "kept" Hoang Duc hidden, not using him for a single minute in the two matches winning 2-0 against the Philippines and losing 0-1 to Iraq.
Regarding this, Mr. Troussier explained that Hoang Duc has not met the requirements for consistency in off-ball organization and defense organization.
"This year's Vietnam Golden Ball may belong to him, but I want him to contribute more. In recent training sessions, I always push him to the maximum and I hope he understands," coach Troussier said.
It can be considered a "provocation" plan of the 68-year-old coach. Because no matter what his point of view is, any coach wants to use the best people, and the way the Vietnamese team could not maintain the tempo and unfortunately lost to Iraq in the last minute of extra time is an example.
Hoang Duc's beautiful volley goal against Ha Tinh Club
These days, Hoang Duc has not made any statements in the press, except for a photo of him wearing the national team's number 14 shirt with the caption: Always strive for this shirt. But according to his teammates at The Cong - Viettel Club, the midfielder from Hai Duong is practicing very hard, with great determination.
With the pride of a good player, Hoang Duc knows that the best answer to Coach Troussier is on the field. His desire is even stronger when the club has changed its name since this season, along with a great desire to conquer.
It is expected that on December 1, Hoang Duc and The Cong - Viettel Club will move to the South to prepare for the match with Ho Chi Minh City Club at Thong Nhat Stadium 2 days later.
This is the match where The Cong - Viettel Club clearly set the goal of winning, taking all 3 points to attack the top 3 on the rankings. Coach Thach Bao Khanh will certainly have a lot of psychological work to do for stars like Hoang Duc, because he knows how much desire to play on the field is in him.
