Khuat Van Khang is one of the U23 players who went to Qatar to attend the 2023 Asian Cup with the Vietnam National Team under coach Philippe Troussier.

However, the 2023 Asian Cup was a sad memory for Khuat Van Khang when this player received a red card in the 2-3 loss to Iraq and the Vietnam team was eliminated early from the group stage after 3 consecutive losses.

Tomorrow, April 8, Khuat Van Khang will go to Qatar with the U23 Vietnam team to attend the 2024 AFC U23 Championship. Before leaving, the midfielder frankly shared that the 2023 Asian Cup is a sad memory but will be a motivation for him to try harder.

“Tomorrow, U23 Vietnam will depart for Qatar, a place where I have many memories of having participated in many tournaments. The 2023 Asian Cup is a sad memory, but it is also a motivation for me to try to improve.

In recent days, Coach Hoang Anh Tuan has always encouraged the team spirit, has been the one to transmit energy to the players, and has encouraged the team to concentrate and have the desire to compete for the national flag. I myself set a goal to try my best to compete as far as possible with the team, aiming to compete for the opportunity to attend the Paris Olympics" - Khuat Van Khang said.

After arriving in Qatar, U23 Vietnam will have a friendly match with U23 Jordan on April 10. Coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team will start in Group D against U23 Kuwait on April 17, then meet U23 Malaysia on April 20 and U23 Uzbekistan on April 23.
