Vietnam's U23 team sends signals to Coach Kim Sang Sik

Le Van Thuan continuously shines and scores impressively under the watch of Coach Kim Sang Sik in V-League 2025/26.

The flourishing form of Le Van Thuan is becoming a standout highlight in V-League 2025/26, especially as he consistently makes his mark under the direct observation of Coach Kim Sang Sik. At 20 years old, this versatile player impresses not only with his scoring ability but also with how he dictates the flow of the game whenever he appears.

The 3-0 victory of Ninh Binh Club over PVF-CAND is clear evidence. In a completely dominant match situation, Van Thuan continued to leave his mark with a goal that sealed the score. Though not as "rescue-like" as in previous rounds, this scoring moment demonstrated his versatility as he can shine even in one-sided matches.

Notably, that performance occurred under the observation of Coach Kim Sang Sik – who is actively seeking new talents for the Vietnam national team. Continuously scoring at crucial moments helps Van Thuan score strongly, not only in terms of skill but also in competitive spirit.

Looking back at the last three rounds, Van Thuan's performance is extremely impressive. He scored the decisive goal in the 2-1 victory over Becamex TP.HCM in the 90+5th minute, continued to "finish off" Hoang Anh Gia Lai in the 84th minute, before contributing in the recent big win. Three goals bringing 9 points is a number sufficient to affirm his influence.

The special point of Van Thuan lies in his versatility. Originating as a midfielder, he has the ability to move widely, participate in organizing play, yet is extremely dangerous when penetrating the penalty area. His ability to choose positions, read situations, and finish cleanly helps this young player become a "strategic card" under Coach Bae Ji Won.

In the context of Vietnamese football seeking a domestic striker capable of creating breakthroughs, the rise of Van Thuan brings many expectations. With his current form and growing confidence, he is not only a crucial factor for Ninh Binh in the top 3 race, but also opens the opportunity to become a pillar of the national team in the near future.
