The 33rd Southeast Asian Games concluded with the Vietnam U23 national team winning the gold medal. We were also able to confirm the noticeable growth of striker Nguyen Dinh Bac.

This men's football final was truly a 'dream final.' Vietnam and Thailand, arguably the teams with the most established playstyles in Southeast Asia, faced off. Among them, Dingbac was the undeniable attacking leader of the Vietnam U22 national team.

Dingbac was involved in 5 goals, scoring 3 goals and providing 2 assists in 4 matches. Notably, he scored a brace against Laos in the opener and also recorded a multi-assist performance against Malaysia.

In the final, he personally won and converted a penalty kick, turning the score to 2-1 after they were trailing by two points. This greatly helped Vietnam soon equalize 2-2 and eventually score the winning goal in extra time for a thrilling 3-2 comeback victory.

However, Dingbac's impact was more than what was mentioned above. He truly served as a driving engine with his wide range of activity, consistent movement, and tireless commitment on both offense and defense. Not just Dingbac himself, but players like Thanh Nhan and Van Tuan created synergy with their teammates, resulting in a versatile attacking display from the Vietnam U22 national team.

Although somewhat obscured by his skill, he especially showed great maturity in his judgment. His willingness to always commit and play responsibly served as motivation for his teammates.

The experience he gained at the CAHN club led to remarkable growth during these Southeast Asian Games. It is no exaggeration to say that a new step is ready in his career.

Coach Kim Sang Sik said about Dingbac, "He has immense potential and is developing rapidly these days," adding, "Based on what he has shown so far, now is an appropriate time for him to take a new step forward."

He also added, "He should test his luck in bigger leagues like the K League or J League. He can develop even further if he plays in an environment where he can grow within a strong club."
