" Currently, I know a little Vietnamese. Since coming to Vietnam, I have tried to improve my Vietnamese more. Now I can listen quite well but I cannot speak fluently. I will study more and hope that in the future, my Vietnamese will be better, " said midfielder Viktor Le.

The language problem can be a disadvantage for this player when he communicates with his teammates. However, living and playing in Vietnam for 2 years has helped Viktor Le integrate and overcome some of the language difficulties.

The new recruit of U22 Vietnam has a Vietnamese father and a Russian mother. In December 2024, Viktor Le became a Vietnamese citizen after completing all necessary naturalization procedures. The player whose full name is Le Khac Viktor was trained at Toperdo Moscow club and used to play for the CSKA Moscow youth team. This is an important stepping stone for the Vietnamese-origin star to develop professionally.

Viktor Le once refused the opportunity to try out for the AC Milan youth team to focus on returning to Vietnam to play professionally. The decision of the player born in 2003 proved to be correct. Viktor Le is far from AC Milan's level but basically meets the professional requirements of the V.League. After 2 seasons, Viktor Le's performance improved and he was called up to the U22 Vietnam team.

This overseas Vietnamese said: " When I came to Vietnam 2-3 years ago, I cherished the desire to wear the national team jersey. So, when my name was on the list of U22 Vietnam this time, I felt very honored and proud. Certainly, I will try my best, concentrate, and maintain daily training. I will accumulate and take advantage of every opportunity I have on the team.

I can't say clearly what my strengths or weaknesses are. What I show on the field is how I prove myself. People can also judge from there. When I join U22 Vietnam, I will definitely compete at all costs. This is a healthy, fair and positive environment. I am very happy to join U22 Vietnam but of course I will try my best ."

Before joining the U22 Vietnam team, Viktor Le was injured in the match between Hong Linh Ha Tinh and Hanoi. He said he was still in pain but would soon recover from the injury and be able to practice.

U22 Vietnam trained in Hanoi for 10 days before going to China to participate in the CFA Team China 2025 friendly tournament.
