Coach Gong Oh Kyun's favorite playing style when he was in charge of the Vietnam U23 team at the 2022 AFC U23 Championship finals was an attacking style of play, putting pressure on the opponent's field.
In the group stage of this tournament, coach Gong Oh Kyun's team beat Malaysia 2-0, drew Thailand 2-2 after twice leading, then drew Korea 1-1.

From last year's U23 Asian Cup, Vietnamese football discovered striker Nguyen Van Tung, who is currently considered one of the most promising strikers in Vietnamese football, behind his senior Nguyen Tien Linh.
Coach Gong Oh Kyun's favorite attacking style is also suitable for CAHN Club. The current V-League champion team owns many quality attacking stars such as Quang Hai, Geovane, Phan Van Duc.
Even the defenders of CAHN, including Ho Tan Tai and Vu Van Thanh, are very good at fighting when participating in the attack.
This is the style of play that coach Tran Tien Dai has breathed into the teams he has led, or professionally oriented, from Saigon Xuan Thanh more than ten years ago, to CAHN now.
Therefore, the person who takes over the position of coach Tran Tien Dai in the near future must also be someone who knows how to direct his team towards this attacking style of play.

The Korean newspaper Osen once commented on the attacking style of play that coach Gong Oh Kyun applied to the Vietnam U23 team during the U23 Asian Cup last year: "Coach Gong Oh Kyun brought magical play to the Vietnam U23 team. He instilled confidence in the players, helping them react appropriately to different opponents."
"Since leading this team, coach Gong Oh Kyun has prepared for a goal beyond the group stage, which is the quarter-finals. Mr. Gong prepared for that in advance," were the lines written in Osen newspaper at that time.
In addition to the proactive attacking style, coach Gong Oh Kyun also cares about the players' spirit and physical strength.
Fitness is always an issue that coach Gong Oh Kyun focuses on. Players must have good physical strength to keep up with the speed of the match, perform technical movements well and strictly follow the tactics.
Thanks to their good physical strength, the ability to surround opponents and put pressure from afar of the U23 Vietnam players in last year's U23 Asian tournament was also very good.
This is what domestic football teams have been aiming for recently, because modern football requires players to compete well and know how to put pressure on the opponent right from the moment the opponent develops the ball on their side of the field.
Coach Gong Oh Kyun is receiving high expectations in the days of preparing to join the V-League. This expectation comes from what Mr. Gong and his students in the Vietnam U23 team showed at the 2022 U23 Asian Cup.
