Besides his long-range interception and effective ball recovery skills, the 26-year-old midfielder from Hai Duong has also created several "super products" of long-range goals.
This season, Duc Chien played 22 rounds, scored 2 goals and made 1 assist. The highlight of his playing style lies in his ability to compete for the ball effectively and support the defense from a distance. This is also a position that is lacking in the Vietnam team, when midfielder Doan Ngoc Tan was injured and had to stay away from the field for a long time.
In the list of 23 Vietnamese players gathered to prepare for the match against Malaysia on June 10, coach Kim Sang-sik called up Duc Chien and Vo Hoang Minh Khoa to replace Doan Ngoc Tan. Considering his current strength and form, experts believe that Duc Chien will likely be in the starting lineup of the Vietnamese team when they travel to Bukit Jalil Stadium. Compared to Minh Khoa and his teammates playing in the same position, Viettel 's "leader" is highly appreciated for his courage, experience and stability in competition.

Near the end of the 2024-2025 season, Nguyen Duc Chien became the center of attention in the V-League player transfer market. Phu Dong Ninh Binh Club has officially been promoted to the V-League and to prepare for the next season, this team is targeting many Vietnamese national team stars, including Duc Chien.
Although he has not confirmed that he will move to another team to play next season, the midfielder born in 1998 also left open the possibility of extending his contract with The Cong Viettel. The two sides have not agreed on a "signing fee" for the next 3 years of the contract because Duc Chien wants to receive an amount that is true to his value.
Ninh Binh Club is looking to have Duc Chien's services and is willing to pay a fee of up to 7 billion VND/season. If he plays at Ninh Binh Stadium for 3 seasons, Duc Chien will receive about 21 billion VND, equivalent to what Pham Tuan Hai received from Hanoi Club. Previously, Phu Dong Ninh Binh shocked the First Division when paying 30 billion VND to have Nguyen Hoang Duc's services for 3 seasons.
According to the plan, Mr. Kim and his team will move to Malaysia from June 6. The team will have 3 days to prepare in the neighboring country before entering the second match of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.
