Phi Son in the hearts of SLNA fans

(Baonghean.vn) -Finally, the day of separation between Phi Son and SLNA has come. The wishes of Nghe An fans did not come true, when “Vietnam Ronaldo” decided to move to another team next season.

Over the past months, Nghe An fans have tried their best to keep Phi Son at Vinh Stadium with a new contract. Facing the affection of SLNA fans, "Vietnam's Ronaldo" also had moments of weakness. That is the reason why it was not until yesterday (December 7) that the midfielder from Ha Tinh officially announced that he was no longer a SLNA player. Although somewhat disappointed and sad, Nghe An fans still supported Phi Son's decision.

On the forums of SLNA fans, people do not see any words of blame coming from Nghe An fans. Instead, there are words of thanks and wishes from the bottom of their hearts for Phi Son. Never before has a player who left SLNA received as much sharing and encouragement as Phi Son at this moment. All of this comes from what the star born in 1992 has contributed to the Vinh team for nearly 6 years.

Immediately after announcing his decision to leave SLNA, Phi Son could not hide his emotions and shared: “I have devoted everything I could to SLNA, and although I did not want to, I had to leave. I have fulfilled my late father's wish of winning a championship title with SLNA. I hoped to stay at SLNA but there was no other way. I will miss this place where I grew up, became a person, and fulfilled my dreams and ambitions. I was so moved when I said these words, I shed tears because of these emotions because of everyone's love.”

The same goes for Nghe An fans. Many fans burst into tears when they learned that Phi Son would no longer wear the SLNA shirt next season. From now on, they will have to witness their idol 'dancing' in the opponent's shirt. But there will certainly be no boos or curses every time Phi Son returns to Vinh Stadium to face SLNA on the other side of the battle line. Simply, "Vietnam's Ronaldo" will forever be an idol, a living monument of Nghe An fans and football team. The separation is really sad, really painful, but it does not mean "the end of love and friendship".

Vinh Stadium will always remember the running steps, the "peanut-roasting" footwork, the drops of sweat... of the player wearing the number 10 shirt. And Phi Son will never forget the noisy stands that always chanted "Phi Son! Phi Son! Phi Son!" incessantly. No matter how much they love each other, no matter how strong their affection is, both SLNA and Phi Son must accept living without each other, or more accurately, temporarily being apart. Because that's professional football.

Surely at this moment, Nghe An fans are reviewing Phi Son's images with nostalgia, and praying for success for their idol. And "Vietnam's Ronaldo" is also reading the affectionate messages that SLNA fans sent to him and remembering the yellow-filled stands of Vinh Stadium, Thong Nhat Stadium, Binh Duong Stadium, Peiku Stadium, Hang Day Stadium...

Both Nghe An and Phi Son fans at this moment are feeling the lyrics in the song "Xot xa" by musician To Thanh Tung: "no way of separation is not heartbreaking"./.
