Defender from Nghe An who won the V.League championship says goodbye to the field
(Baonghean.vn) - After many years pursuing his passion for football, Nguyen Xuan Luan decided to retire from his football career at the age of 36.
Nguyen Xuan Luan was born in 1987 in Quy Hop district (Nghe An). Although he is a product of SLNA training center, Nguyen Xuan Luan has never played for Nghe An team in V.League or National Cup. At the end of the 2010 season, Nguyen Xuan Luan left SLNA to join Hoa Phat Hanoi, starting his adventure on all football fields in Vietnam.
After leaving Hoa Phat Hanoi at the end of the 2011 season, Nguyen Xuan Luan joined Hanoi Club, Vissai Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa, Becamex Binh Duong, Ba Ria Vung Tau, Lam Dong and Binh Thuan. It can be said that the period wearing Becamex Binh Duong's shirt (2015 - 2019) was the most beautiful time in Nguyen Xuan Luan's playing career.
At the team of the land of Thu, Nguyen Xuan Luan has always proven his class. Not only is he often present in the starting lineup, but Nguyen Xuan Luan is also honored to take on the role of captain of Becamex Binh Duong in the 2019 season. Obviously, the importance of Nguyen Xuan Luan to Becamex Binh Duong is not small.
During 5 seasons serving the team nicknamed "Chelsea Vietnam", Nguyen Xuan Luan played a total of 76 matches with a duration of 5959 minutes, only in the V.League. Nguyen Xuan Luan's most impressive achievement in Becamex Binh Duong's shirt was the 2015 V.League championship.
In the last season - 2023, Nguyen Xuan Luan belonged to Binh Thuan, a team that is involved in a scandal of unpaid player salaries. Objectively, Nguyen Xuan Luan's excellence in defense has greatly contributed to helping Binh Thuan quickly reach a safe finish in the 2023 National First Division, despite being a rookie team.
Realizing that his physical condition was no longer in good shape, the 36-year-old defender decided to retire from football. Currently, Nguyen Xuan Luan is spending time taking care of his family, after many years pursuing his passion for football. A happy ending for the defender from Quy Hop./.
