U19 SLNA defender receives injury treatment at PVF Center

Tran Quoc Thanh once participated in the Youth - Children's Football Tournament of Nghe An Newspaper Cup in the Thanh Chuong youth team. After that, he was selected to join SLNA training center and was one of the most prominent faces of U13 SLNA, winning the national youth football tournament - U13 National Finals in 2013.

Tran Quoc Thanh's excellent performance has been recognized by experts and fans of Nghe An province that he will go far.

In the SLNA U19 jersey, Quoc Thanh continued to play brilliantly, helping SLNA win the Bronze Medal at the 2019 National U19 Finals held at Pleiku Stadium (Gia Lai). In that tournament, Tran Quoc Thanh was arranged by coach Nguyen Van Tien to play as a full-back while his usual position was midfielder or striker. However, he still played excellently, played a good defensive role and scored the winning goal 2-1 for SLNA U19 in the opening match against B.Binh Duong U19. In that goal, Tran Quoc Thanh had a fast dribble that eliminated many B.Binh Duong U19 players, before defeating the opposing team's goalkeeper with a skillful outside-of-the-cheek flick.

Tran Quoc Thanh's brilliant performance in the SLNA U19 jersey helped the Thanh Chuong player win a spot in the Vietnam U19 selection. With impressive performances at the 2019 Thanh Nien Newspaper International U19 Tournament, held at 19/8 Stadium (Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa), Tran Quoc Thanh was called up by coach Hoang Anh Tuan to the Vietnam U18 squad to prepare for a friendly tournament in Hong Kong (China). Unfortunately, the left-back of SLNA U19 was eliminated due to injury and required long-term treatment.

At PVF Center, Tran Quoc Thanh is sharing a room with two seniors of SLNA's first team, Vo Ngoc Duc and Le Van Hung. According to the original plan, Quoc Thanh would have to have surgery to repair the collateral ligament in his right knee. However, his injury recovered quickly and he only had to practice rehabilitation without surgery.

Hopefully, Tran Quoc Thanh will recover quickly to return to the field soon./.
