What destination for the former Song Lam Nghe An player?

To prepare for the 2023/2024 season, the Hai Phong team has conducted a force purge. A series of faces had to pack their luggage and leave Lach Tray Stadium in different ways. Unfortunately, among them, there was the presence of the former player of Song Lam Nghe An.Nguyen Phu Nguyen.

During his 3 seasons playing for Hai Phong (2021 - 2023), the player from Nam Dan has contributed significantly to the overall achievements of the team from the port city. Especially in V.League 2021, Nguyen Phu Nguyen left a deep impression with 2 consecutive goals against Viettel (round 1) and Nam Dinh (round 2).

However, since Hai Phong was led by coach Chu Dinh Nghiem, Nguyen Phu Nguyen's familiar position was on the bench. In addition to the reason of not being appreciated by the former captain of Hanoi Club, Nguyen Phu Nguyen also suffered from a number of injuries.

According to statistics, in V.League 2023, Nguyen Phu Nguyen only played 1 match for 15 minutes and did not have any goals or assists. These are extremely disappointing numbers for a player who has turned 28, the ripe age of most professional football players in Vietnam.

Talking to Nghe An Newspaper, Nguyen Phu Nguyen affirmed: "Currently, I have not found a new destination. And it is almost certain that I will not be able to compete in V.League 2023-2024, because at this time the teams have recruited enough players. Hopefully, I will not have to fall into unemployment."

Before competing in a top football environment, Nguyen Phu Nguyen was a product of the Song Lam Nghe An training center, in the same generation as Hoang Van Khanh, Ho Tuan Tai... At the 2012 National U17 Tournament, Nguyen Phu Nguyen and his teammates helped U17 Song Lam Nghe An win the championship./.
