Vietnam national team newcomer scores impressively with coach Kim Sang Sik

Forward Nguyen Tran Viet Cuong continues scoring for Becamex TP.HCM, thereby making a strong impression on coach Kim Sang Sik ahead of Vietnam national team's training camp.

On April 25th at Binh Duong stadium, Nguyen Tran Viet Cuong once again became the standout player for Becamex TP.HCM by scoring against Nam Dinh in round 20 of V.League 2025/26. Although the home team only managed a 1-1 draw, the performance of the 2000-born forward was sufficient for him to continue making a strong impression on coach Kim Sang Sik ahead of Vietnam national team's upcoming training camps.

After being called up to the Vietnam national team, Viet Cuong is showing increasing confidence and stable form. Against Nam Dinh, he was positioned as a starter in the attack alongside Bui Vi Hao and immediately proved his worth through intelligent movement, explosive speed, and sharpness in decisive situations.

Just in the 3rd minute, Viet Cuong secured the opening goal for Becamex TP.HCM. From Minh Khoa's clever through pass, this forward accelerated past the opponent's defense before delivering a decisive shot at the near post, leaving goalkeeper Nguyen Manh no chance to save. This scoring play clearly demonstrates the qualities of a modern striker: fast, precise, and extremely composed in front of goal.

Not stopping there, Viet Cuong was also the most active player on the home team's attacking front. He continuously troubled Nam Dinh's defense with bursts of speed behind the defenders. This forward had two more chances facing the goalkeeper but couldn't capitalize as Nguyen Manh performed exceptionally well.

Despite missing the chance to double the lead, Viet Cuong's performance still received many positive evaluations. In the context where Becamex TP.HCM needs a consistently reliable scorer to make a difference, the 2000-born player is gradually becoming the biggest hope. His maturation holds significance not only at the club level but also opens up a noteworthy option for the Vietnam national team's attack.

Consistently making an impact in V.League, Viet Cuong is showing that he is not just a potential talent but is ready to compete at a higher level. With his current form, Becamex TP.HCM's forward could certainly become an important asset for coach Kim Sang Sik in the upcoming journey of the Vietnam national team.
