The mystery of Mr. Kim

It was a shock for the young striker born in 2003, but also a turning point for Vi Hao to mature. Now, the striker from An Giang has the opportunity to become the "main actor" of the Vietnamese team in a more prestigious and classy playground, the AFF Cup 2024.

So what is the difference between Vi Hao of 2023 and Vi Hao now? The answer is rationality. This striker's strengths are speed and power, but in the past he often hastily handled the ball when passing or finishing, missing many good opportunities. But thanks to Binh Duong Club recruiting a series of experienced players such as Que Ngoc Hai, Nguyen Hai Huy and retaining Nguyen Tien Linh, Vi Hao learned a lot from his seniors. These 3 players often chat, share and encourage Vi Hao after training sessions and the results have come. When having the ball in the opponent's third of the field, Vi Hao breaks through more effectively thanks to fake moves, or sudden stops and accelerations.

At Binh Duong Club, Vi Hao is now a mainstay, trusted by both coaches Le Huynh Duc and Hoang Anh Tuan. From the 2023-2024 season until now, he has played 34 matches in the V-League, in which the starting rate is 88%. Last season, he scored 5 goals. This season, he has not scored any goals but has also made 3 assists. Of which, he has twice brought penalties to the team in Thu Dau Mot. Now, Vi Hao is a big challenge for defenders in the V-League thanks to his "old weapons" of speed and power and his "new weapons" of cunning.

Vi Hao's performance in the Vietnam national team was also extremely impressive. In the FIFA Days series in September, he played energetically, creating a new source of energy on the right wing in the confrontation with the Thai and Russian teams. A month later, he scored 1 goal against India, once bringing a penalty, but unfortunately Que Ngoc Hai missed. Before that, he shone in a practice match with Nam Dinh Club with a double. It is worth mentioning that when on the field, Vi Hao changed the game thanks to his ability to move without the ball, supporting the defense well. Therefore, he is highly appreciated by coach Kim Sang-sik and can be considered the "favorite student" of the Korean strategist.

In the context that Van Toan has just returned from injury and is not in really good form, Vi Hao has an advantage in the competition for a starting position. In addition, he is very compatible with his senior player at the same club, Tien Linh, who is almost certain to start in the Vietnam national team as a striker. Another thing is that Vi Hao is still an "unknown factor" to opponents in Southeast Asia. That is an opportunity for the young striker of Binh Duong Club to cause a surprise at the upcoming AFF Cup 2024.
