Defender Tran Dinh Hoang - a solid support at Vinh Stadium
(Baonghean.vn) - The player from Hung Nguyen is expected by Song Lam Nghe An to be a reliable support for his juniors.
After the end of the 2023 season, Song Lam Nghe An carried out a personnel "revolution". Accordingly, players who are old or whose contracts have expired will not be in the Nghe team's plans for the new season. And Hoang "me", aka Tran Dinh Hoang, belongs to both of the above cases. It seems that having to leave his hometown team for the second time is inevitable.
Therefore, experts and football fans of Nghe An were not surprised by the news that Tran Dinh Hoang "went South" to join Becamex Binh Duong, alongside Que Ngoc Hai. However, this deal fell through at the last minute because Tran Dinh Hoang was unexpectedly retained by the Nghe An team to play until the end of the 2023/2024 season.
Although Song Lam Nghe An only gave him a 1-year contract, with a salary that was not as high as what other teams offered, Tran Dinh Hoang still decided to continue to stay at Vinh Stadium. Simply, Tran Dinh Hoang wanted to contribute a part of his efforts to help his hometown team overcome difficult times.
With his professional level proven over a long period of time, the player born in 1991 will still be a reliable stopper in the right-back or right wing-back position. In addition, Tran Dinh Hoang's extensive battle experience will also be very helpful for Song Lam Nghe An after the "rejuvenation of the squad" revolution.
It is not by chance that the Nghe An team dared to defy public opinion to let Ho Van Cuong join the Hanoi Police on loan. Because Tran Dinh Hoang still has full value. The proof is that in V.League 2023, Tran Dinh Hoang is among the players who have played the most for Song Lam Nghe An with 14 matches, equivalent to 1138 minutes.
It should be noted that in addition to his strong positions as right-back and right wing-back, Tran Dinh Hoang can also play as a center-back in the popular 3-5-2 formation. In fact, many times last season, the coaching staff of Song Lam Nghe An boldly assigned the center-back position to Tran Dinh Hoang. The results were relatively positive.
However, Tran Dinh Hoang's ability to succeed in the 2023/2024 season is still a question mark, depending on many different factors. If Tran Dinh Hoang plays excellently, Nghe An fans will not have to worry about the "deal" of Ho Van Cuong. Do not forget, in the past, Tran Dinh Hoang was a pillar of the Vietnam National Team./.
