“Just 19 years old, Hau has already cemented his spot in Hanoi’s defence, winning the league this past season, and has earned 10 national caps as well. Vietnam had one of the youngest squads in the Suzuki Cup, and that is set to continue in the Asian Cup as well, with coach Park Hang-seo’s focus on youth,” the website wrote.

Besides Hau, the website also named four young stars including Ahmed Abdul-Ridha of Iraq, who helped his team win the AFC Cup in 2016 and 2017, Jasurbek Yakhshiboev of Uzbekistan, Alex Gersbach of Australia, and Ritsu Doan of Japan.
