In the list of 30 players summoned by Head Coach Kim Sang Sik to prepare for the 2024 ASEAN Mitsubishi Electric Cup, there are 4 players from Hai Duong.
They are Vu Van Thanh, Truong Tien Anh, Nguyen Hoang Duc and Nguyen Tien Linh. These are all quality players with experience playing in many major tournaments.
Nguyen Hoang Duc (Phu Dong Ninh Binh Football Club) still maintains his form despite playing in the national first division.
In midfield, there are 10 other quality names such as Nguyen Quang Hai, Phan Van Duc, Khuat Van Khang... but clearly Hoang Duc is still the more viable choice in terms of physique, fitness, experience and when needed, he can also play flexibly in other positions.
The Hai Duong players in the defender position still have the familiar name Vu Van Thanh (Hanoi Police). In the victory of Hanoi Police against Binh Dinh on November 20, Van Thanh had an excellent performance and was the owner of 2 assists to help the home team win 3-0.
Truong Tien Anh (The Cong Viettel) can play on both the left and right flanks. Tien Anh's forte is on the right wing, but if he is placed on the left wing, this defender can also play a well-rounded role. This player born in 1999 is one of the few wingers today who can climb the sidelines with continuous intensity, along with the ability to "hide his feet", which means making it difficult for the opponent to predict the decisive move such as crossing, passing, returning to the second line or finishing.
In the forward line, besides the young players, there is still the indispensable striker Nguyen Tien Linh (Becamex Binh Duong). He is still confirmed as the number 1 striker in V-League with 7 goals up to now.
Ahead of the opening match against Laos on December 9, Head Coach Kim Sang Sik will announce the official list of 26 players.
Most likely, another player from Hai Duong, Van Toan (Nam Dinh Blue Steel), will be on Mr. Kim Sang Sik's list, after Nam Dinh Blue Steel has a break at AFC Champions League Two.
