Hung Dung, Van Quyet return to Vietnam team
Midfielder Do Hung Dung and striker Van Quyet were both absent from the June gathering. At that time, Hung Dung had not yet recovered from appendectomy, and Van Quyet was serving a suspended sentence from the VFF Disciplinary Committee.
Despite missing eight matches because of a disciplinary sentence, related to the act of pushing the referee, Van Quyet is still the best scorer in the V-League 2023 (nine goals). The captain of Hanoi club is only behind three foreign players, top scorer Rafaelson, Jhon Cley and Bruno Cantanhede. His performance of 0.69 goals per game is also his personal best at the tournament.
Also returning to the team this time are Nguyen Duc Chien and Duong Van Hao (Viettel). Van Hao was recruited under coach Park Hang-seo but did not stay on the last list. Midfielder born in 1997 in the same age group as Quang Hai, Tien Linh attended the 2017 FIFA U20 World Cup. He was evaluated for his talent, but suffered a serious injury and broke his leg in 2018 causing his career to be interrupted.
Cong Phuong and Van Toan continued to participate despite not playing officially at the club for more than two months. Coach Philippe Troussier once affirmed that he did not want to waste the talent of the mature striker pair from HAGL, so he continued to give opportunities.
New players include left-back Hoang Thai Binh (25 years old, Thanh Hoa), midfielder Pham Van Luan (24, Hanoi Police), striker Vu Quang Nam (31, Ha Tinh), right-back Pham Trung Hieu (25) and winger Nguyen Huu Son (26, Hai Phong).
Midfielder Pham Van Luan was loaned by Saigon FC to the Japanese third-tier team FC Ryukyu last season. After Saigon FC was dissolved, Van Luan moved to CAHN. Midfielder Huu Son also moved from Saigon to Hai Phong and often kicks off. The pair of defenders Thai Binh and Trung Hieu under the guidance of coach Chu Dinh Nghiem had a good season with Hai Phong to runner-up in the V-League 2022. Then Thai Binh expired his loan contract and returned to Thanh Hoa to play. . Meanwhile, veteran striker Quang Nam of Ha Tinh owns a strong and sweeping style of play.
The team will gather from September 1 at the VFF Youth Football Training Center to September 12. The team has a friendly match against Palestine on September 11 at Thien Truong Stadium.
During this time, coach Troussier has to do extra work with the U23 team in the Asian U23 qualifier 2024. The team meets Guam (September 6), Yemen (September 9) and Singapore (September 12). at Viet Tri Stadium, Phu Tho.
