The fate of two young Song Lam Nghe An players as 'outsiders'.
Just before the start of the 2024/2025 season, SLNA decided to loan goalkeeper Chu Văn Tấn and midfielder Ngô Văn Bắc to Hanoi Police and Hai Phong respectively.
To date, neither Chu Van Tan nor Ngo Van Bac have played a single minute for their new teams. While Chu Van Tan is only a backup option for Filip Nguyen and Do Sy Huy, Ngo Van Bac has also been warming the bench at Lach Tray Stadium because he couldn't compete for a position with his teammates.
Currently, in Hai Phong, coach Chu Dinh Nghiem has quite a few quality and experienced midfielders. Besides the foreign duo Bicou Bissainthe and Zé Paulo, there are also Le Manh Dung, Nguyen Huu Son, Trieu Viet Hung, Luong Hoang Nam, and Le Tien Anh. It's difficult for Ngo Van Bac to be favored by the strategist Chu.
Unlike Ngo Van Bac, Chu Van Tan's loan to Hanoi Police was merely a way to "circumvent the rules." According to VPF regulations, each V.League team must register at least three Vietnamese players aged 16-22. Therefore, Chu Van Tan's chances of playing for Hanoi Police are extremely slim.
Nevertheless, joining the Hanoi and Hai Phong Police teams provided Chu Van Tan and Ngo Van Bac with a relatively high and stable income, at least compared to Song Lam Nghe An, where they were not part of the team's plans. In addition, both gained considerable experience during their time away on training.
Hopefully, in the near future, Chu Van Tan and Ngo Van Bac will mature significantly upon returning to Vinh Stadium. Let's not forget that in the past, many famous players of Song Lam Nghe An have played for other teams on loan. The duo of Chu Van Tan and Ngo Van Bac are prime examples.Phan Van Duc - Pham Xuan ManhHe previously played for the People's Police team in the 2015 season.
