The golden generation who passed to the 2017 U20 World Cup raised the hope. But, the young players really need the guidance from senior like Nguyen Van Quyet.
Van Quyet is the striker that could attack from all sides. The leadership of 27-year-old player would be crucial for Vietnam attacking line.
Ikhsan Fandi
In his 19, Ikhsan Fandi often performed for Singapore senior team. Moreover, Fandi has collected 3 goals from 8 matches with The Lions.

At the same time, Fandi is the son of current Singapore coach, Fandi Ahmad. Besides, his brother, Irfan Fandi, is also called-up for 2018 AFF Cup.
Manuel Ott
The arrival of Sven-Goran Eriksson made the opponents anticipate the Philippines. No wonder, Eriksson is a great coach who previously handled England national team, Manchester City, and Lazio.
Besides, The Azkals have a great squad. Manuel Ott is one of the key players in the midfield.
Ott’s ability to pass from the mid and his vision would be useful in the 2018 AFF Cup. The capability of Germany player would be beneficial for Philipp and James Younghusband in the attacking line.
Adisak Kraisorn
Thailand always created great strikers. From Kiatisuk Senemuang, Teerasil Dangda, and also Chanatip Songkrasin.
The situation made Adisak Kraison overlooked. In fact, Adisak also has the capability just like other great strikers.
The 2018 AFF Cup would be the momentum for Adisak to show his best. No wonder, Teerasil and Chanatip who play abroad aren’t called-up by the coach.
