Owing to the difficulty in finding sponsors or having limited funding,many clubs have begun recruiting younger players to play in the ToyotaV.League 1 to reduce expenses.
Among the 26 domestic players, whowill play in the league, SHB Da Nang's coach Le Huynh Duc has inducted13 fresh faces for the U19 and U21 teams into his list.
"Usingyoung players trained by our club will help the team have greater moralstrength, but at the same time, it will also help the club cut down ontransfer fees in case the club has to hire veterans from other clubs. DaNang has saved at least 7 billion VND (333,000 USD) by recruiting theseyoungsters," said the club's Chairman Bui Xuan Hoa.
Duc usesyoung talents, such as Phan Van Long, 19, and Ho Ngoc Thang, 21, inco-ordination with experienced players in his line-up to take part inall tournaments.
He said this would give younger players a chance to prove themselves and hone their skills and gradually replace veterans.
SongLam Nghe An (SLNA) have also signed with young players trained by theclub to play in the V.League 1 this year, including Ho Tuan Tai andHoang Van Khanh, who played well in the U21 tournament last year.
"Underthe rules of the Vietnam Football Federation, players who take part inprofessional events will receive minimum wages of 10 million VND permonth. Given the use of players trained by our club, we are morecomfortable with paying them a monthly salary," the club's ChairmanNguyen Hong Thanh said.
"We hope the economy will prosper in thenear future. At that time, SLNA will have many sponsors, and the clubwill be able to retain its best players," Thanh added.
Lastseason, SLNA's young talents, such as Tran Phi Son, Que Ngoc Hai, aswell as Ngo Hoang Thinh, who were born in 1992 and 1993, bagged spots inthe first team.
