Nguyen Anh Hung's return to Vinh Stadium
(Baonghean.vn) - In the match between SLNA and Quang Nam on February 23, defender Nguyen Anh Hung, who came from SLNA's training center, is the player that Nghe An fans pay the most attention to on the away team.
Growing up from the SLNA training center, but the defender born in 1992 has never played for his hometown team in major tournaments such as V.League or National Cup. Vinh Stadium is even a place that holds the sad memories of Nguyen Anh Hung before and after leaving the Nghe An team.
First, this player was released by SLNA at the end of the 2012 season, right after winning the National U21 Championship with Thanh Nien Newspaper with U21 SLNA. Next was the horrific collision with his senior Tran Dinh Dong, in the match between SLNA and Hung Vuong An Giang in round 7 of V.League 2012.
Tran Dinh Dong’s unnecessary tackle caused Nguyen Anh Hung to suffer a very serious injury. The Hung Vuong An Giang player had to “sit and watch” for nearly a year, due to a broken shin. That was the first match Nguyen Anh Hung played against his old team SLNA.

The 27-year-old defender recalled: “I will never forget that terrifying moment. After Dinh Dong’s tackle, I almost fainted on the field. I didn’t know my leg was broken, I just felt excruciating pain. I tried to stand up but couldn’t.”
Through what has been shared, the incident from that year still cannot fade away in the mind of the defender born in 1992. The upcoming match with SLNA will bring Nguyen Anh Hung a lot of emotions, especially when on the other side of the field, there will likely be the appearance of Tran Dinh Dong - the player who has just returned to wear the Nghe An team's shirt.
Nothing can be predicted in football, but Nguyen Anh Hung can rest assured because SLNA’s playing style in recent seasons is among the fairest in V.League. Tackles similar to Tran Dinh Dong’s in the past have almost become “extinct” in the Nghe An team. The proof is that in 2 consecutive V.League seasons (2017 and 2018), SLNA did not have any players receive a red card.
In the past 4 seasons (2015 - 2018), Nguyen Anh Hung played for Hai Phong. It is worth mentioning that in the times he returned to Vinh Stadium to face SLNA, the defender born in 1992 played very well, contributing greatly to the victories of the port city team. Notably, Nguyen Anh Hung did not have to endure any more foul play from his fellow countrymen right at Vinh Stadium.
The match between SLNA and Quang Nam in round 1 of V.League 2019 will take place at Vinh Stadium, at 4:00 p.m. on February 23./.
