Defender Tran Dinh Hoang shares his thoughts before the SLNA - SHB Da Nang match
(Baonghean.vn) - On the afternoon of June 6, SLNA will meet SHB Da Nang in round 3 of V.League 2020. In the Da Nang squad, there are many faces who used to wear SLNA's shirt, typically right-back Tran Dinh Hoang.
Before this match, Nghe An Newspaper had a short conversation with Dinh Hoang.
PV:Hello Dinh Hoang! Leaving SLNA, is this the most difficult decision you have ever made?
- Exactly, bro. I have been with SLNA since 2003, which is almost 16-17 years. No matter where I go, I always consider SLNA as my home, my old teammates as my friends, as my family.
PV:Is Dinh Hoang satisfied with life at Hoa Xuan stadium?
- Everything at my new team SHB Da Nang is going quite well, for me personally. Not only do I get to play regularly, I also have a close, good relationship with the coaching staff and teammates. Overall, I feel very good.

- It's really exciting. However, as a professional player, I will put my emotions aside to fight with all my might for the colors of my home team. However, if I score a goal against SLNA, I won't celebrate, or to be more precise, I won't be able to celebrate. In my heart, there will always be a corner reserved for SLNA.
PV:Currently, the right-back position of SLNA is held by Sy Nam. Can Dinh Hoang give some comments about this player?
- In my opinion, Sy Nam is one of SLNA's best players in recent matches. He is a worthy replacement for the position I just left. I think Sy Nam will improve even more in the future.
