Nguyen Quoc Viet is in extremely impressive form. He scored the only goal for the Vietnam U.23 team in a friendly match against Bahrain U.23. Previously, at the 2023 AFC U.20 Championship, this striker contributed 2 goals, helping the Vietnam U.20 team make a big splash when defeating Australia and Qatar.

In V-League 2023, Quoc Viet was given many opportunities to play by coach Kiatisak. He played 13 matches, scored 1 goal and made 1 assist. In the 2023 Southeast Asian Championship, fans will wait for Quoc Viet to dribble from the sidelines or suddenly enter the penalty area to score.

This is a strength that he has shown in national and international youth tournaments over the past few years. In fact, the goal against U.23 Bahrain in Bangkok (Thailand) happened like that.

At this time, Nguyen Quoc Viet is certainly the name that receives the most expectations in the attack of the Vietnam U.23 team. However, in the hands of coach Hoang Anh Tuan, the striker of HAGL Club is not the only one who can make a difference.

On the attack line, the U.23 Vietnam team has another quality player, Nguyen Van Truong. The boy born in 2003 is a strong choice for the striker position thanks to his good physique (1.80 m), ability to press and handle in a narrow area, as well as impressive finishing.

Van Truong may not score many goals, but he knows how to make a wall and pass the ball intelligently so that his teammates can score. In the 2022 National U.21 Tournament, he was the player who scored the most goals, helping U.21 Hanoi win the championship, and he himself was the owner of the title of Best Player of the Tournament.

In the midfield, Dinh Xuan Tien can explode at any time. The young talent of SLNA acts as a shuttle midfielder, often moving up near the opponent's penalty area to finish, create or coordinate with teammates.

In recent youth tournaments, Xuan Tien has never disappointed fans. In the SLNA jersey at the 2022 National U.21 Finals, he scored 3 goals and made 1 assist. Unfortunately, U.21 SLNA violated the tournament's regulations and was eliminated.

In the 2023 U.20 Asian qualifiers, Xuan Tien scored 3 goals, helping the U.20 Vietnam team reach the final round. Unfortunately, in Uzbekistan, he could not play due to injury. At the 32nd SEA Games, the SLNA midfielder was also not in the best physical condition, so he could only play from the bench.

Coming to the 2023 Southeast Asian U.23 Championship, Xuan Tien is in the most "energetic" state. He is healthy, played a lot in the 2023 V-League (17 matches) and scored 4 goals. Those are very impressive numbers.

Not to mention that the U.23 Vietnam team still has many other impressive names, ready to decide the match in a split second, like the way Van Khang once assisted from outside 30 meters for Quoc Viet to score at the 2023 U.20 Asian Cup or SEA Games 32.

In 2022, except for the 7-0 victory over weak opponent Singapore, the U.23 Vietnam team won the Southeast Asian championship when they only scored 2 goals. Now, with many excellent attacking players as the key in hand, coach Hoang Anh Tuan's team can do much better.
