Vietnamese player in Asian best 11 at U20 World Cup

Vietnam is one of the five Asian squads at the ongoing tournament in the Republic of Korea. All the teams were ousted after the second stage. Based on their performance, Fox Sports made its own team. Hau is said to be a dynamic, attack-minded left defender. The 18-year-old from Hanoi FC caught the eye of the Vietnamese side that impressed many, despite their early exit. "A lively threat raiding up the left of the pitch, he was also solid in his defensive work and showed some strong link up play with the midfielders further forward and appears to be one of the crop of young talents that could move on to higher honours and perhaps a professional career abroad," the foxsportsasia.com wrote. The 1.82m is one of the seven U20 players called to the national team for the Asian Cup qualification. Other defenders of the Asian best 11 are Hassan Tambakti and Anas Zabbani (Saudi Arabia) and Jeong Tae-wook (the Republic of Korea). The strikers were Cho Yong-wook (the Republic of Korea) and Abdulrahman Al Yami (Saudi Arabia). Midfielders were Ritsu Doan (Japan), Ayman Al Khulaif (Saudi Arabia), Reza Shekari (Iran) and Lee Seung-woo (the Republic of Korea). The best goalkeeper is Song Bum-kuen (the Republic of Korea).
