Central midfielder Do Duy Manh, 19, has already featured in crucial fixtures against Iraq and Thailand in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.

Left winger Vo Huy Toan is considered another important prospect for Vietnam by local fans.

Attacking midfielder Nguyen Cong Phuong of Hoang Anh Gia Lai is called "Vietnamese Messi" by fans and media due to his playing style and dribbling skills.
Phuong spent eight years at the Hoang Anh Gia Lai JMG-Arsenal Academy before gaining promotion to the V.League club's first team this season.
Phuong became famous in 2013 when, as the U19 team captain, he was top scorer with seven goals during qualifying for the 2014 AFC U19 Championships.
