After the training course at Hungary, U-23 Viet Nam gradually defines main members for the official squad and the most important thing is that there is a noticeable progress in attack after each win. 

Before this training trip to Europe, Coach Hoang Van Phuc said that he would use all players that aimed to choose the excellent members for U-23 Viet Nam. After 3 games against Testverieg SE, REAC Sportiskola and U-21 REAC Sportiskola, U-23 Viet Nam step by step defines its main members especially in the attack when center midfielder Minh Tuan, wide midfielder Manh Dung and especially the captain Van Quyet have received Hoang Van Phuc’s trust in set fire for the attack. For the striker position, two players Mac Hong Quan and Ha Minh Tuan, U-23 Viet Nam can be confident in a good attack.

The formation 4-5-1 with 1 highest striker receiving support from creative and skillful midfielders is hoped to play effectively when Coach Hoang Van Phuc’s strikers scored through big 4-1  win over Testveriseg SE, especially, the stunned U21 REAC Sportiskola with 6-0.

While the attack plays strongly, U23 Viet Nam still lacks of  stability at defence. Most of defenders are not in stable form, which is illustrated by being hold by REAC Sportiskola though we had lead 2-0. Moreover, Coach Hoang Van Phuc is worried about the position of defensive midfielder Hoang Thinh who has got knee- injury. Thinh has experienced in V-League for 4 year, it is understandable that why he is the prior choice for back of U23 Viet Nam. His absence from squad left a big hole the back of Hoang Van Phuc’s formation.
