Coach Kiatisuk has no gift

Phan Xuan Dai "goes later and comes back first"

Compared to the young players in the first team of Song Lam Nghe An, striker Phan Xuan Dai has not played much this season. Before the match against Hoang Anh Gia Lai, this 20-year-old striker had only experienced nearly 30 minutes in the V.League environment.
