Famous after his convincing performance in SLNA and the national team, Phan Van Duc began to be sought out by brands for advertising. However, unlike Quang Hai and Tien Dung, Phan Van Duc did not want to be distracted by those things.

Van Duc shared: “Since returning from the U23 Vietnam team, a few people have contacted me to advertise and make images, but I just want to focus on playing football, just want to earn money with my feet. In the remaining journey of V.League 2018, I will try my best in each match to respond to the expectations of the fans and hope to be called up to the national team by coach Park Hang Seo.”

Along with that, on his personal Facebook, Phan Van Duc also sent messages to fans during the period when SLNA is facing many difficulties: "Thank you everyone for always loving and supporting Duc in the past time. During this period, Duc just wants to focus on football and play well. I hope everyone will always support Duc and the whole team.

Off the field, Duc is just a normal person, so I hope everyone respects his private life as well as the friends and relatives around him. Duc will try and strive harder to not let everyone down!"

Currently, Phan Van Duc has scored a total of 7 goals for the Nghe An team in all competitions this season (4 goals in V.League, 2 goals in National Cup and 1 goal in AFC Cup). In V.League 2018, his scoring record is equal to Hoang Thien of Saigon Club and only lost to 2 foreign players Oseni (Hanoi) and Patiyo (Can Tho).

The special attention of fans for a young player sometimes makes them distracted. And coach Nguyen Duc Thang does not show any concern and always knows how to help his students feel most comfortable.

“Phan Van Duc and Pham Xuan Manh are two top stars who receive special attention from fans. Of course, they will have to get used to being sought after. It was not after the U23 Asian Cup that SLNA had regulations on players working with the media.

At the end of the match, I encourage Van Duc or any other SLNA star to interact with the fans. That helps the team connect with the fans more. There is always discipline in the team, but it is not mechanical," said coach Duc Thang.
