New nucleus on the attack of U23 Vietnam

Among the 5 strikers brought to Uzbekistan by coach Gong Oh-kyun, Tran Danh Trung is a prominent factor that is expected to bring explosive points for Vietnam U23 at the U23 Asian Cup finals.

The fact that U23 Vietnam plays with coach Gong Oh-kyun’s favorite 4-3-3 tactical gear will be very suitable for players with good personal technical qualities and creative playing ability like Tran Danh Trung.

Despite being a striker who is highly appreciated by experts for his ability, over the years Danh Trung has not shown many things at Viettel Club and was called up to U23 Vietnam.

In early 2021, the striker born in 2000 was also honored to be invited by Ryukyu Club (the team playing in J.League 2 Japan) to try a job. However, due to the complicated developments of the Covid-19 epidemic, this plan had to be postponed.

Then, entering the 2022 season, Danh Trung returned to join the Viettel club and was facilitated by coach Truong Viet Hoang to play a lot in the V.League.

With the strength of daring dribbling and the confidence needed by a young player, Danh Trung has brought a new breeze to the attack, which relies heavily on foreign soldiers of the “soldier team”.

Persuasive performances in the V.League helped the handsome striker of Viettel Club, convincing coach Gong Oh-kyun to fill in his name in the plan to build a new play style for U23 Vietnam at the U23 Asian Cup finals.

With a potential player like Danh Trung, the fact that he was rarely included in the team list before is something that many people regret.

Share on this issue, coach Thach Bao Khanh once said about his student: “I always think Danh Trung is a good player. He is a striker who always makes tactical contributions to the overall play of the team. It’s only a matter of time before Danh Trung makes a breakthrough in his career. In the future, I believe Danh Trung will soon shine not only at the club but also in the national team.”
