Au Van Hoan - Tran Dinh Hoang and the 'war' on the banks of the Han River
(Baonghean.vn) - The right-back position of SHB Da Nang next season is a fierce competition between two players from Nghe An.
Although he just arrived at Hoa Xuan Stadium at the end of the 2019 season, Tran Dinh Hoang's chance to be appreciated by coach Le Huynh Duc is not small. Remember, it is not by chance that the Board of Directors of SHB Da Nang gave the player born in 1991 a 3-year contract with quite attractive benefits. That shows that the Han River team highly appreciates Tran Dinh Hoang's talent. They consider this player one of the important factors to "revive" SHB Da Nang.

In terms of physical strength, Au Van Hoan cannot compare to his junior Hoang "me". However, the player born in 1989 has a lot of experience in the field. Moving to Hoa Xuan Stadium one season earlier than Tran Dinh Hoang, Au Van Hoan understands better the philosophy of coach Le Huynh Duc and the living environment of SHB Da Nang. This is a big advantage for Au Van Hoan compared to his junior from the same hometown of Nghe An. Therefore, the opportunity for them is 50/50.

The situation of Tran Dinh Hoang and Au Van Hoan at Hoa Xuan stadium right now has many similarities with what happened at Vinh stadium 7 years ago.
In the 2013 season, Tran Dinh Hoang and Au Van Hoan also created a fierce competition for the right-back position of SLNA. That was also the only time they played together in SLNA's shirt, before reuniting at the Han River team this season./.
