Mr. Kim's students are also Mr. Thang's students.
Coach Nguyen Duc Thang's team has many players in the 22-year-old age group, including striker Nguyen Cong Phuong (19 years old), Nguyen Dang Duong (20 years old), midfielder Khuat Van Khang (22 years old), defender Dang Tuan Phong (22 years old), Nguyen Huu Thai Bao (21 years old), Nguyen Manh Hung (20 years old) and Nguyen Hong Phuc (22 years old). Most of these players have played for national youth teams at different levels. Khuat Van Khang is a member of the Vietnam national team, winning the 2024 AFF Cup.

On the journey of The Cong Viettel approaching the top of the V-League 2024-2025 table, up to this point of the tournament, young players have made certain contributions. Since the beginning of the season, Coach Nguyen Duc Thang's team has not always had outstanding foreign players, such as Lucas Vinicius at Hai Phong Club, or Geovane Magno at Ha Tinh Club. Therefore, The Cong Viettel's success in recent times is largely thanks to the contributions of domestic players. Among them, some young players at the age of 22 are also used by Coach Nguyen Duc Thang at the present time.
In the latest match between The Cong Viettel and HAGL, in round 12 of V-League, Khuat Van Khang was officially in the starting lineup as usual. He was on the field until the 80th minute. Meanwhile, Nguyen Cong Phuong and Dang Tuan Phong were registered as reserve players.
Previously, in the very important match against Nam Dinh in round 10, defender Dang Tuan Phong was sent onto the field by coach Nguyen Duc Thang at the end of the match, increasing the defensive ability of The Cong Viettel, helping the team maintain a minimal 1-0 victory against the team from Thanh Nam.
Coach Kim Sang-sik will not miss any promising players in V-League
Previously, in the match of round 9 of V-League, The Cong Viettel visited SLNA at Vinh stadium, young players Dang Tuan Phong and Nguyen Manh Hung were brought in from the bench, contributing to helping coach Nguyen Duc Thang's team win 5-0 against the Nghe An team.
In general, apart from Khuat Van Khang who is often in the starting lineup, the young players of The Cong Viettel are still used and allowed to compete in the V-League in the current season, at the right times. For players in their twenties, appearing like this is very beneficial, and also shows that they are useful for the overall playing style of the team in the hands of Coach Nguyen Duc Thang.
In preparation for the 33rd SEA Games taking place this year, Coach Kim Sang-sik will certainly keep an eye on the young players mentioned above, keeping an eye on their performances in V-League matches. If they continue to contribute to The Cong Viettel, they will have the opportunity to be called up to the Vietnam U.22 team in the upcoming training sessions.
