A player born in the year of the Rooster and his simple New Year's wish.

(Baonghean.vn) - Among the young players of SLNA, many were born in 1993, and the Year of the Rooster is also the year in which they place high expectations on themselves and their teammates…

The past year was still a difficult one for the Vietnamese national team's central defender. An AFF Cup filled with memories, and matches in the V.League where he couldn't perform at his best, all motivated him to look forward to a new year with many changes. Que Ngoc Hai shared: “2016 has passed, a year with so much happening. There were joys, sorrows, tears of joy and tears of bitterness. Although it could be said that I wasn't very lucky, 2016 was still a memorable year with great happiness. I wish all SLNA fans and those who love me a very healthy and successful new year in 2017.”

Que Ngoc Hai celebrated Tet (Lunar New Year) with his family in Vinh City.

As for Pham Manh Hung, the player nicknamed Hung "the crossbar" also expressed his determination in his fifth year competing in the V.League: "Throughout the past year, I haven't been able to contribute much to the team. Entering the new year, I hope to have a lot of luck, avoid injuries so that I have more opportunities to contribute to the club."

Defender Pham Manh Hung looked dapper while celebrating Tet (Lunar New Year) in his hometown of Thai Hoa town, Nghia Dan district.

On the field, midfielder Vo Ngoc Toan plays rather quietly in the SLNA jersey. However, his role in the overall style of play of the Nghe An team cannot be denied. Not wishing for much for himself, the player from Quynh Luu sends his best wishes to his teammates: “I hope 2017 will bring much joy to my teammates and the SLNA team. I hope the team will be even luckier, and that all the players will achieve their best form to live up to the expectations of fans nationwide. I send my best wishes to all the fans and supporters for the New Year.”

Over the past two years, goalkeeper Le Quang Dai has never had the opportunity to showcase his skills in the highest level of Vietnamese football. Therefore, the third-choice goalkeeper at SLNA expressed: “I hope that in the new year, I will have more opportunities to play. Especially, I hope to always have good health; as a player, everyone is very afraid of getting injured. I hope that all of us will be in top form throughout the season.”
