The former SLNA defender is facing difficulties at his new club.

Immediately after leaving SLNA, defender Anh Son decided to join the Han River team with a two-year contract. Nguyen Sy Nam chose SHB Da Nang because he wanted more opportunities to play. Unfortunately, things haven't gone as expected for the player born in 1993 so far.

Currently, the right-back position isSHB Da NangThe competition is currently between Nguyen Sy Nam, Nguyen Tai Loc, and Vo Hoang Quang. Compared to the two aforementioned teammates, Nguyen Sy Nam has more advantages. While Vo Hoang Quang is past his prime (born in 1987), Nguyen Tai Loc's preferred position is attacking midfielder.

Instead of placing his trust in Nguyen Sy Nam, coach Phan Thanh Hung chose Nguyen Tai Loc for the right-back position at SHB Da Nang. Objectively speaking, the former Long An player has not performed his assigned duties well. Evidence of this is that in the two matches against Saigon FC (round 1) and Thanh Hoa (round 4), Nguyen Tai Loc was substituted off quite early.

It's quite puzzling that on both occasions when coach Phan Thanh Hung substituted Nguyen Tai Loc off the field, he didn't give Nguyen Sy Nam a chance to prove himself. It's worth noting that the former player's physical condition has been declining recently.SLNAThat's always guaranteed. Perhaps Nguyen Sy Nam's playing style doesn't fit with coach Phan Thanh Hung's philosophy?

However, whatever the reason, one fact cannot be concealed:Nguyen Sy NamHe is currently going through a very difficult time at Hoa Xuan Stadium. To change his "redundant status," the former defender of the Vietnam U19 team (in 2012) has no choice but to constantly strive in training and wait. After all, the 2022 season is only just beginning.

Perhaps, at SHB Da Nang right now, Vo Ngoc Toan is the one who understands Nguyen Sy Nam's situation best. Remember, in his first season with the team (2020), Vo Ngoc Toan often had to warm the bench. Thanks to his determination, Toan "the eccentric" won the trust of coach Le Huynh Duc.

It's no coincidence that Vo Ngoc Toan holds a regular starting position in SHB Da Nang's lineup, even though coach Phan Thanh Hung has a host of quality central midfielders like Nguyen Huy Hung, Pham Nguyen Sa, Dang Anh Tuan, and Hoang Minh Tam at his disposal. Hopefully, Nguyen Sy Nam will also achieve the same success as his teammate and fellow countryman, Vo Ngoc Toan.
