Young SLNA player 'struggles' to assert himself in First Division team
(Baonghean.vn) - Currently, midfielder Bui Dinh Chau has only played 1 match for Phu Dong Club in the 2019 National First Division.
The away match of coach Le Duc Tuan and his team against the home team Tay Ninh Club in round 6 is the first and only match up to this point that the player born in 1996 has been able to put on his shoes and play in this year's season. An extremely disappointing number for the midfielder from Nghe An.
Moving to Phu Dong Club on loan from SLNA at the end of 2018, it was thought that Bui Dinh Chau would be able to play more often to develop his talent and gain more experience in the field. Unfortunately, in recent times, the 23-year-old midfielder's familiar position has been on the bench.

In addition to the injury that occurred during a training session before the match between Phu Dong Club and Dong Thap Club in round 3 (which took nearly half a month of treatment), the fact that he was not valued by coach Le Duc Tuan was the reason why Bui Dinh Chau had to "sit around and do nothing" for a long time at his new team.
Witnessing the not-so-bright situation of Bui Dinh Chau at Phu Dong Club, experts and football fans of Nghe An cannot help but feel surprised and disappointed. Because Bui Dinh Chau was once considered one of the most promising talents of SLNA training center.
Bui Dinh Chau is in the same generation as Ho Tuan Tai, Hoang Van Khanh, Phan Van Duc, Pham Xuan Manh... who brought the championship to U17 SLNA at the National U17 Finals in 2012. At the tournament held at Tu Do Stadium (Hue), Bui Dinh Chau was awarded the title of "Best Player" by the Organizing Committee.

However, the 2019 season has only passed half way, the opportunity for the midfielder from Nghe An to affirm his talent in the Phu Dong Club shirt is still quite a lot. The most important task at this time for Bui Dinh Chau is to practice hard to win the trust of Coach Le Duc Tuan.
