The first player to have his contract extended by SLNA after V.League 2018

The end of the 2018 season is also the time when the faces including: Nguyen Sy Nam, Que Ngoc Hai, Pham Manh Hung, Ngo Xuan Toan, Cao Xuan Thang, Ho Sy Sam, Dau Thanh Phong and Le Quang Dai officially become "free players". Instead of losing the "products" they trained, the SLNA leadership has made efforts to retain Que Ngoc Hai and the generation of players born in 1993.

One of the achievements that the Nghe An team has just achieved is the case of Nguyen Sy Nam. The defender from Anh Son (Nghe An) signed a 3-year contract with the Vinh team with an undisclosed amount of compensation (signing fee, salary, bonus). The decision of the player wearing the number 22 shirt surprised many people.

Last season, Nguyen Sy Nam was rarely used by SLNA's coaching staff. According to statistics, in V.League 2018, the player born in 1993 only played 234 minutes. The simple reason is that Nguyen Sy Nam could not compete with his senior Tran Dinh Hoang in the right-back position.

It was thought that Nguyen Sy Nam would leave Vinh Stadium to seek a new challenge, a place that would help him escape the fate of being a "redundant player". However, the 25-year-old defender chose to stay. That also means that the player from Anh Son (Nghe An) must try harder to compete for a position with Tran Dinh Hoang, to win the trust of the SLNA coaching staff.

Talking to reporters, Nguyen Sy Nam shared: “My decision to sign a new contract with SLNA received the approval and strong support of my relatives and friends. Staying at SLNA not only helps me contribute to my hometown team, but also makes it easier to take care of my family, wife and children.”

Talking about the difficulties that lie ahead, the player born in 1993 said: “Opportunities are created by myself. As long as I do not give up my passion and keep striving to improve, sooner or later the opportunity will come. I choose to stay and continue to fight and fight”./.
