Indonesian media amazed, exclaiming about Vietnam’s once-in-a-century midfielder

Indonesian media lavish praise on Rahni Moreau Nguyễn, the 18-year-old Vietnamese-French midfielder on trial in the V-League, considering him the rare talent Vietnamese football has long awaited.

The emergence of Rahni Moreau Nguyễn, the French-Vietnamese midfielder born in 2007, is causing a sensation not only in Vietnam but also drawing intense scrutiny from regional rivals.

Superball (Indonesia) offered glowing remarks by quoting Vietnamese media assessments: "Vietnam proudly presents a rare and promising talent, someone with a unique lineage who appears only once in a century!".

The Indonesian press believes this is a strong response from Vietnamese football amid the fierce naturalization race ongoing in Asia.

Rahni Moreau Nguyễn is currently undergoing trials at the Viettel Sports Club, one of the top teams in the V-League. Standing at an ideal height of 1.80m with a modern football mindset, this 18-year-old midfielder is expected to solve the national team’s long-standing central midfield shortage.

The newspaper commented: "For many years, Vietnam has tirelessly searched for a central midfielder who can dominate the midfield. A player strong in duels yet calm enough to control the game’s tempo".

Rahni’s composure and fundamental technical skills are believed to be heavily influenced by the French football environment, where he played for the Girondins de Bordeaux youth team and attracted interest from Italy’s Empoli club.

Indonesian media are particularly cautious about this news, understanding that if Rahni succeeds in the V-League, his inclusion in the Vietnam national team is only a matter of time.

The article in Superball stated: "If this player is truly as talented as Vietnamese media describe, surely they won’t miss this opportunity. It will be fascinating to see whether Vietnam’s national team will take interest in this young man under 20 years old".

Currently, Rahni is striving to secure a professional contract with Viettel Sports Club. Although it is too early to declare him a "legend," the enthusiastic reception from fans and experts suggests Rahni Moreau Nguyễn is the new hope, a perfect piece for Vietnamese football to elevate its status internationally.
