Dinh Xuan Tien says goodbye to Song Lam Nghe An, joins The Cong Viettel
After goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet left the team, Song Lam Nghe An Club continued to have a notable change in personnel when midfielder Dinh Xuan Tien officially transferred to play for The Cong Viettel. Xuan Tien's farewell to his hometown team received attention from experts and fans.
Dinh Xuan Tien is a player who grew up in the youth training center ofLam River Nghe An. He was promoted to the first team at the age of 18 and was given the opportunity to play in the V-League. In recent seasons, he played in the central midfielder position and had time to be used depending on the tactical calculations of the coaching staff.
However, Xuan Tien's development process has encountered many obstacles. Some problems in daily life and training awareness have affected his performance, causing him to lose his official playing position at some points. After that period, Xuan Tien has improved. In the second leg of V-League 2024/25, he scored in the match against Hai Phong, contributing to helping the home team win an important victory in the relegation race.
However, according to Song Lam Nghe An Club, Xuan Tien is no longer in the team's long-term plan. Moving to The Cong Viettel is considered a new direction in his career, where Xuan Tien can seek more and more stable playing opportunities in a competitive environment.
The absence of Dinh Xuan Tien will certainly affect the depth of Song Lam Nghe An's squad, especially in the central midfield position. However, this is also an opportunity for young faces like Trong Tuan or Van Bach... to take the field and demonstrate their abilities. In the long journey of V-League, veteran midfielders like Khac Ngoc cannot always maintain the best physical condition to compete throughout the season. Rotating and creating opportunities for the next generation of players is necessary to maintain professional stability.
For Song Lam Nghe An, saying goodbye to the players they trained themselves is somewhat regrettable, but in the context that the team is still trying to balance between professional development and financial maintenance, letting Xuan Tien leave is a necessary solution. Although there are still regrets, this is also an inevitable part of professional football.
The Dinh Xuan Tien transfer deal took place right before the new season, in the context of Song Lam Nghe An restructuring its force. Although The Cong Viettel has not announced the details of the contract, this is likely a valuable deal, bringing in significant financial resources to help the Nghe An team have more conditions to stabilize and rearrange personnel.
For individual players, seeking challenges in a new environment is also an opportunity to assert themselves after turbulent seasons.
