Former SLNA striker Ho Tuan Tai: When will the bad luck end?

Since leaving Vinh Stadium (end of 2020),Ho Tuan Taioften "followed by bad luck". Up to now, the 27-year-old striker has not scored any goals for the Thong Nhat Stadium team. Injury is the main reason why Ho Tuan Tai has not shone as expected. Do not forget, Ho Tuan Tai was the main striker of Song Lam Nghe An in the 2019 and 2020 seasons.

Remember, right after joining Ho Chi Minh City Club, Ho Tuan Tai suffered a serious injury in a friendly match between the Vietnam National Team and U23 Vietnam, which took place at Cam Pha Stadium, on December 23, 2020. That injury forced Ho Tuan Tai to "sit and watch" until the end of March 2021. Signaling a difficult journey for the former SLNA player in the city named after Uncle Ho.

Although he did not show much in the matches of the Thong Nhat Stadium team in V.League 2021, Ho Tuan Tai was unexpectedly called up by Coach Park Hang-seo to the Vietnam National Team to prepare for the 3rd qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup in Asia, against the Saudi Arabian Team and the Australian Team. Unfortunately, once again, Ho Tuan Tai was eliminated at the last minute.

Thus, with the injury he just suffered in the 0-0 draw between SHB Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City Club in round 2 of V.League 2022, which took place on March 2, Ho Tuan Tai will certainly continue to be absent from the upcoming training session of the Vietnam National Team. According to the match schedule, at the end of March, Coach Park Hang-seo and his team will compete with the Oman Team and the Japanese Team in the third qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup in Asia.

Many experts and Vietnamese football fans are feeling sorry for Ho Tuan Tai. Because, this is the period of searching for new factors for the Vietnam National Team by Coach Park Hang-seo, especially the striker position, where Nguyen Tien Linh and Ha Duc Chinh are showing a serious decline in performance. If the physical foundation is 100%, most likely, Ho Tuan Tai will be given the opportunity by the Korean strategist.

However, Ho Tuan Tai is just about to turn 27, and there is still a lot of hope that he will return to wear the Vietnam National Team shirt. As long as he does not get "visited" by injuries and continues to strive, the day Ho Tuan Tai can dominate the Vietnam National Team shirt will not be far away./.
