Indonesian media wary of U.23 Vietnam's 'powerful weapon': The special character is…

Bola.com (Indonesia) rated Nguyen Dinh Bac as one of the five most notable players at SEA Games 33, calling him a powerful weapon of U.23 Vietnam and placing him on par with the region's top young stars such as Struick or Yotsakorn.

The Indonesian newspaper - Bola recently published an article titled "5 Southeast Asian stars to watch at the 2025 SEA Games: Young and dangerous players". The article lists 5 young players who are expected to make a difference in men's football at the 33rd SEA Games, taking place in Thailand this December. Among them, U.23 Vietnam has 1 representative: Nguyen Dinh Bac.

"Dinh Bac is a key player of U.23 Vietnam"

Bola commented: "A name that is highly expected at the 2025 SEA Games is Nguyen Dinh Bac. This 21-year-old winger will be a powerful weapon in the attack of the Golden Star team. He is a key player to help Vietnam win the 2025 Southeast Asian U.23 Championship. The striker, who is currently playing for the Hanoi Police Club, was voted the Best Player at the tournament. Dinh Bac has a lot of experience playing at the international level. In addition to his achievements at the U.23 level, the striker born in 2004 also scored 2 goals after 12 appearances for the Vietnam national team."

The fact that Bola used the phrase "sharp weapon" to describe Dinh Bac shows that the Indonesian media pays special attention to the U.23 Vietnam striker. The Indonesian newspaper believes that Dinh Bac will be a factor that makes the opponent's defense wary.
