Nghe players in QNK. Quang Nam

(Baonghean) - Playing in the V.League for the first time, QNK.Quang Nam immediately revealed their ambition to win the leading positions. The proof is that they gathered their troops very early and spared no expense to bring in expensive contracts. Among them, Nghe people dominated with nearly half of QNK.Quang Nam's troops.

In 2013, QNK.Quang Nam, with the strong support of Mr. Hien, determined to play football seriously, with the goal of being present in the professional league for the first time. To realize this dream, they contacted and brought to Tam Ky Stadium a coach from Nghe An who was highly appreciated for his expertise, Nguyen Van Thinh. After that, many other names also came to QNK.Quang Nam such as Cao Xuan Thang, Cao Quang Huong, Nguyen Van Vinh, Dinh Thanh Trung, Nguyen Ngoc Thanh... But at the beginning of the 2013 First Division season, QNK.Quang Nam's performance was not as expected. There were many reasons to explain this, among which internal issues arose. After parting ways with coach Nguyen Van Thinh, QNK.Quang Nam continued to trust another Nghe An man, coach Vu Quang Bao. With his coaching experience from his time in Military Region 4, along with the style of a soldier of Uncle Ho, Mr. Bao won more affection from the players.

After an unsuccessful first period, QNK.Quang Nam gradually became more united and played like they were “possessed” in the final rounds. They excellently won the championship and a place in V.League 2014 one round early. In this success, in addition to the role of Coach Vu Quang Bao, many other Nghe An players were also named as “heroes”. These include Captain Cao Xuan Thang, Nguyen Van Vinh, The Nhat or Dinh Thanh Trung…

With the ambition to achieve high results in the 2014 V.League season, the QNK.Quang Nam coaching board almost did not rest after the season. Accordingly, Mr. Vu Quang Bao only returned to his hometown Nghia Dan to visit his family for a few days and then had to go on a mission to recruit players to ensure the strength of the next season. And no one else, QNK.Quang Nam was the first team to gather again after the 2013 season ended. On October 7, the players of this team were ordered to gather in Tam Ky to carry out the new season plan.

Coach Vu Quang Bao and QNK.Quang Nam players.

Of the 20 players retained from the 2013 First Division, nearly 10 are from Nghe An. In addition, the latest contracts, in order to strengthen the force for the new season, are also from Nghe An: Hai Anh from Xi Mang Xuan Thanh Sai Gon, Thanh Van from Dong Nai, Van Cuong from the youth team of Military Zone 4. In addition, 2 former SLNA players, Cong Minh and Son Ha, are also being contacted by QNK.Quang Nam and most likely, they will also be present at Tam Ky Stadium in the near future.

Nghe An people dominate the Quang Nam team, but according to coach Vu Quang Bao, the team always creates a fair mechanism, whoever plays well and makes an effort is trusted. In the 2013 season, although coach Vu Quang Bao, captain Cao Xuan Thang and the brightest star Dinh Thanh Trung are all from Nghe An, there is absolutely no priority for other compatriots. The proof is that the internal QNK.Quang Nam has been very stable since coach Vu Quang Bao took over, more specifically the First Division championship they won in the 2013 season.

For some young teams, they often use Nghe An people to build the first bricks, creating a foundation for the future. Like HN.ACB or HP.HN before, QNK.Quang Nam also trusts players from Song Lam or Military Zone 4 and they have more or less succeeded. After winning the First Division championship, with the green light from the leadership, Coach Vu Quang Bao continued to look for other Nghe An players to bring to Tam Ky Stadium.

With more than half of the players in the main squad, Nghe quality will have a significant impact on QNK.Quang Nam's playing style, but that is normal, because in professional football, achievements are really important. QNK.Quang Nam is quite stable on the foundation of Nghe people and maybe, they will be even more successful thanks to these first bricks.
