The effort to find himself again of the midfielder once considered as 'the successor of Phan Van Duc'
(Baonghean.vn) - Playing for the Dong Nai Second Division team, midfielder Thai Bao Trung is playing quite impressively after a period of retirement.
Once one of the most promising talents of the Song Lam Nghe An training center, the career path of the Thanh Chuong player has experienced many difficulties. Thai Bao Trung has not even been part of the Nghe An team participating in an official tournament.
Realizing that there was no future at Vinh Stadium, at the end of 2021, Thai Bao Trung proactively asked to terminate his contract with Song Lam Nghe An. Thai Bao Trung's original intention was to quit professional football to move on to another job. However, Thai Bao Trung's passion for the round ball still burns brightly.
That's why, as soon as he received the invitation from the Dong Nai football team's leadership, Thai Bao Trung immediately packed his luggage and went to Bien Hoa stadium for a trial. And with his inherent class, "Phan Van Duc the Second" was retained by coach Bui Huu Thai Son to participate in the 2023 National Second Division, along with two compatriots, Le Thanh Lam and Dau Thanh Phong.
Playing in his favorite position as a right winger, Thai Bao Trung has always completed his assigned tasks quite well. Up to now, the player born in 2000 has scored 1 goal (a goal against the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Team). It can be affirmed that Dong Nai's current achievement of being ranked 2nd in Group B is largely due to Thai Bao Trung.
If they can maintain second place in Group B until the end of the qualifying round, coach Bui Huu Thai Son and his team will be present in the final round. Their opponent will be the team in first place in Group A. Don't forget that in the 2022 National Second Division, Dong Nai was defeated by coach Le Quoc Vuong's Hoa Binh in the final round with a score of 0 - 3.
Sharing with Nghe An Newspaper, the 23-year-old midfielder said: "I am trying my best to help Dong Nai win the promotion ticket. Honestly, I am still not completely satisfied with my performance. Through this, I would like to thank the encouragement and trust of the coaching staff and teammates in Dong Nai during the past time."
Hopefully, Dong Nai and Thai Bao Trung will continue to compete successfully in the future.
