New opportunity for midfielder Bui Dinh Chau at SLNA
(Baonghean.vn) - A few days ago, the Nghi Loc player was named by the SLNA Coaching Board to the list of players participating in the 2020 National Cup. A worthy reward for Bui Dinh Chau's efforts over the past time.
Emerging from the 2012 National U17 Finals, Bui Dinh Chau was one of the most impressive players of U17 SLNA on the journey to the championship.
Assigned by coach Ngo Quang Truong to take on the position of central midfielder, the player born in 1996 surprised everyone with his impressive performances. The title of Best Player of the tournament is clear proof.
Witnessing the excellence of Bui Dinh Chau at the 2012 National U17 Finals, many experts and football fans of Nghe An believed that the player wearing the number 18 shirt of U17 SLNA would become a mainstay of the Vinh Stadium team in the near future. Unfortunately, things did not go smoothly for Bui Dinh Chau, after memorable days in the dreamy land of Hue.

While his teammates of the same age, Hoang Van Khanh, Ho Tuan Tai, Phan Van Duc, and Pham Xuan Manh, were promoted to the SLNA first team and played for the national teams (U19 Vietnam, U23 Vietnam, and Vietnam National Team), Bui Dinh Chau is still only on the roster of the SLNA youth team.
In recent seasons, the 24-year-old midfielder has played for lower-division teams on loan (Phu Yen, Ba Ria - Vung Tau, Phu Dong, Tay Ninh).
Thanks to his impressive performance in Tay Ninh's shirt in the second leg of the 2019 National First Division (1 goal, 1 assist), Bui Dinh Chau was able to participate in the selection process of young players of the Nghe An team, which took place right after the 2019 season ended. With his tireless efforts, the Nghi Loc player was officially signed a professional contract by SLNA and will join Coach Ngo Quang Truong and his team in the 2020 season.

So, the dream of playing for his hometown team in the V.League is very close to Bui Dinh Chau. As long as he works hard in training and develops his inherent abilities, the 24-year-old midfielder will be highly appreciated by coach Ngo Quang Truong in the near future. Coach Ngo Quang Truong was the captain of U17 SLNA at the 2012 National U17 Finals.
Currently, the central midfield position of SLNA has many talented and experienced players, typically Vuong Quoc Trung, Nguyen Quang Tinh, Ho Sy Sam, Dang Van Lam... It is not easy for Bui Dinh Chau to win a starting position, especially in the V.League arena.
Hopefully, under the guidance of the "old yet new" teacher Ngo Quang Truong, Bui Dinh Chau's career will turn a new page./.
