Bui Van Duc is one of 34 names that coach Philippe Troussier called up to the Vietnam national team. He is one of more than 10 new players that the "White Wizard" introduced to the Vietnam national team this time. The name Van Duc seems to be lost among the faces that are quite familiar to fans such as Hai Huy, Viet Hung, Tien Anh, Ngoc Quang, Trong Long...
Trained in football at the People's Public Security Academy, Bui Van Duc is a rare name in this generation of players who continues to play professional football, and is now even called up to the national team.
In fact, the Muong ethnic boy is also a rare professional football player from Hoa Binh. With a good physique (1.75 m), quiet and reserved, Van Duc is a "late bloomer" thanks to his professional spirit and strong will to improve.

Van Duc's journey is closely linked to Coach Tran Minh Chien's ability to train and nurture young players, when he discovered his potential and brought him to train in the Ba Ria - Vung Tau Club.
Under Mr. Chien, Van Duc has improved himself a lot to become one of the formidable attacking spearheads of the club nicknamed "Sea Eagles" in the national first division.
When leading Ho Chi Minh City Club, Coach Tran Minh Chien brought Van Duc along, opening up for him the opportunity to play football at the highest level in Vietnam. Then, in the encounter with Ha Tinh Club in V-League 2022, at first sight, he caught the eye of Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong - a coach who also loves to use young players.

"Van Duc is a very progressive player, plays diligently and responsibly. He has very good crosses to the left wing. The first time we met in the first leg of V-League 2022, I was impressed with this midfielder and secretly told myself that I must find a way to "catch" him to play with my team.
Fortunately, the opportunity opened up when Ho Chi Minh City Club "gave the green light" for him to leave, so Ha Tinh Club and I immediately approached and brought him back. Van Duc has an aggressive and strong playing style, but in real life he is very gentle and obedient.
When given trust, he grasped and improved very quickly. Except for the first few rounds when he was substituted at the end of the match because he had not yet caught up with the rhythm, Van Duc played completely and well in the past 10 matches in V-League 2023," Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong shared.
Bui Van Duc (34) is one of more than a dozen new players that coach Troussier introduced to the Vietnamese team.
At the age of 26, everything is going great for Bui Van Duc, when his impressive performance and that of Hong Linh Ha Tinh Club has helped this Muong ethnic boy reach the highest honor of being called up to the national team.
It will not be easy for the midfielder born in 1997 to compete and perform among other experienced international stars such as Quang Hai, Cong Phuong, Van Toan, Tien Anh... But the national team environment has never lacked competition.
Let's wait and see how this Muong boy performs, because Bui Van Duc's strongest point is his diligence and strong will to strive, helping him completely focus on the ball and have strong development like today.
