Defender Pham Manh Hung's opportunity at Hai Phong Club
(Baonghean.vn) - The former SLNA player is expected by experts and domestic football fans to shine this season.
Last season, Pham Manh Hung was a player of SHB Da Nang Club. With a 3-year contract, it was thought that the defender from Nghe An would find himself again at Hoa Xuan Stadium, after a period of serious decline. However, what Hung "crossbar" showed in the Han River team's shirt was extremely disappointing. According to statistics, in V.League 2019, Pham Manh Hung only played 10 times. A very modest achievement for the former U23 Vietnam center-back.
No longer in the plan of the SHB Da Nang Club's coaching staff for the 2020 season, Pham Manh Hung has decided to join Hai Phong Club. Don't forget, the Lach Tray Stadium team had reached a preliminary agreement with Hung "crossbar" at the time when this player was about to expire his contract with SLNA (end of 2018).
It is known that the Chairman of Hai Phong Club, Tran Manh Hung, is a big fan of the talent and playing style of the defender born in 1993. This is a big advantage of Pham Manh Hung compared to other teammates at Lach Tray Stadium.

Therefore, Nghe An football fans as well as Hai Phong FC supporters are hoping that, with his knowledge and inherent prestige, Coach Pham Anh Tuan will help Pham Manh Hung "revive" strongly at the Hai Phong team.
Observing the recent training sessions of Hai Phong Club, Pham Manh Hung is being arranged by Coach Pham Anh Tuan to play in the left-back position. In the last 2 seasons with SLNA (2017-2018), the left-back position was where Pham Manh Hung was often assigned by Coach Nguyen Duc Thang. It is worth mentioning that at the present time, Hai Phong Club does not own a true left-back. The face that occasionally played in this position last season was Nguyen Van Hanh, a real center-back.
Through that, it can be seen that the opportunity for Pham Manh Hung at Lach Tray Stadium is very clear. Whether he can take advantage of it successfully or not depends largely on the efforts of the player born in 1993./.
