If Phan Van Duc leaves, who will take the left midfielder position at SLNA?
(Baonghean.vn) - At the end of this season, the contract between SLNA and Phan Van Duc will officially expire. In case they cannot keep the player from Yen Thanh, the Nghe An team will have to look for replacements.
Tran Manh Quynh (born in 2001)
Although he has only been on the field in recent matches of SLNA, the player wearing the number 26 shirt has still shown his ability. According to statistics, after 13 matches of SLNA in the first phase of V.League 2021, Tran Manh Quynh has been on the field 4 times, with a duration of 154 minutes and contributed 1 assist (Phan Van Duc's goal that sealed the 2-0 win for SLNA against B.Binh Duong in round 9). A rather impressive "debut" of the player from Dien Chau.

At this time, the player from Nam Dan is playing for the Dak Lak First Division team on loan. After 6 matches for the Buon Ma Thuot home team in the 2021 National First Division and the 2021 National Cup, Tran Ngoc Anh has scored 2 goals and 1 assist. It is almost certain that next season, Tran Ngoc Anh will return to play for SLNA, alongside teammates of the same age such as Thai Ba Sang, Mai Sy Hoang, Dang Van Lam, Nguyen Van Viet...

Observing the performances of the above 4 faces over the past time, it can be seen that they are all talented young players and possess a playing style that has many similarities with their senior Phan Van Duc. Hopefully, Tran Manh Quynh, Tran Dinh Tien, Nguyen Van Viet and Tran Ngoc Anh will mature further to take on the responsibility of their hometown team.
