In goal, Quan Van Chuan is the one who is entrusted with the captaincy of U23 Vietnam. For the defense of the 3-4-3 formation, the coach born in 1968 trusts the central defenders who regularly play in the V.League instead of using an inexperienced trio like at the ASIAD.
Le Nguyen Hoang can play left-sided center-back, Luong Duy Cuong will play in the center of defense, and Nguyen Ngoc Thang will play right-sided center-back, where he performed well under coach Philippe Troussier. The left-sided position will be given to Khuat Van Khang. On the right wing, the choice is simpler for U23 Vietnam as Ho Van Cuong has shown his superiority thanks to his experience in recent tournaments.
Van Tung is trusted for the starting position.
The two central midfielders of U23 Vietnam are Nguyen Thai Son and Nguyen Duc Phu. This duo did not play well at SEA Games 32, but they are hardworking, diligent and create good competition in the midfield.
With the 3-4-2-1 formation, there will be a player who plays the role of breaking through and creating on the wing. The chosen player is Nguyen Dinh Bac. Coach Hoang Anh Tuan used both target strikers, Vo Nguyen Hoang and Nguyen Van Tung, when U23 Vietnam really needed a win.
Kuwait U23 team has prepared very carefully for this tournament with the ambition of reaching the Olympics. That is why they recruited former Portuguese youth team coach Emilio Peixe, who has worked with stars like Joao Cancelo, Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes... at the U15 to U21 levels.
U23 Kuwait is not a strong opponent in Group D, but it is not inferior to U23 Vietnam. Overall, this is a match between two equally strong teams. It is very likely that the result of this match will greatly affect the chances of both teams advancing.
The match between U23 Vietnam and U23 Kuwait takes place at 10:30 p.m. on April 17. The goal of Van Chuan and his teammates is a victory and the right to pass the group stage of the 2024 U23 Asian Cup.
