When was the last time Song Lam Nghe An had a large number of National Team players?
In recent years, Nghe An football team has had very few players called up to the National Team. So, when was the last time Song Lam Nghe An had the most players in the Vietnam team?
That was the focusNational Teampreparing for the Fifa days in June 2016. Although at this time, Song Lam Nghe An is not playing well, only ranking 12th/14 in V.League 2016, but there are still 4 Nghe An players summoned by coach Nguyen Huu Thang.
They are goalkeeper Tran Nguyen Manh, center back Que Ngoc Hai, defender Tran Dinh Hoang and midfielder Tran Phi Son. These are the pillars of Song Lam Nghe An in the transition period.
More notably, the current Vietnam National Team squad includes 8 players from Nghe An and Ha Tinh. They are Bui Tien Dung (Viettel), Au Van Hoan, Truong Dinh Luat (Binh Duong), Tran Dinh Dong (FLC Thanh Hoa), Ngo Hoang Thinh (FLC Thanh Hoa), Dinh Thanh Trung (QNK Quang Nam), Nguyen Cong Phuong (Mito Hollyhock) and Le Cong Vinh (Binh Duong).
With this lineup, coach Nguyen Huu Thang helped the Vietnam Team win 2-0 against the Syrian Team. Especially, they won the AYA Bank Cup 2016 (held in Myanmar) after 2 victories against the Hong Kong Team and the Singapore Team.
Outstanding in this achievement was veteran striker Le Cong Vinh with 3 goals. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Nguyen Manh and center back Que Ngoc Hai also contributed greatly in the penalty shootout against the Hong Kong team.
However, it is regrettable that the Vietnam team under coach Nguyen Huu Thang could only win 3rd place at the AFF Cup 2016 (losing to Indonesia in the Semi-finals).
Meanwhile, the Nghe An team is constantly losing talent, causing the list of players participating in the Vietnam National Team to decrease. In recent calls, there are onlyGoalkeeper Nguyen Van Vietis the name chosen.

This is a worthy achievement for the goalkeeper born in 2002 after his excellent performances at Song Lam Nghe An. However, goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet also has difficulty competing for a starting position in the Vietnam National Team. Because the coaches are prioritizing the use of veteran goalkeepers such as Dang Van Lam, Nguyen Filip or Nguyen Dinh Trieu. Therefore, it can be said that the role of Song Lam Nghe An players in the Vietnam National Team in recent years has been very vague.
Hopefully, in the near future, the rough gems of Song Lam Nghe An will soon mature to be able to contribute more to the Vietnam National Team.
