Hope in the Promised Land

(Baonghean) - After the Thanh - Nghe training tournament, a series of Nghe players will pack their bags and go to the Central Highlands to join the new First Division team Dak Lak. This is considered a great opportunity for Nghe players, as Dak Lak has just been promoted and is considered to be not sparing in investing money in the ambition of being present in the V.League for the first time.

In the recent Second Division, Dak Lak made a strong impression when they overcame Nam Dinh in the play-out round to win the right to play in the First Division in the 2014 season. For this Central Highlands team, this is a great honor and they are determined to compete successfully in the First Division this year. To have a good force to ensure achievements, Dak Lak has contacted a number of clubs with a tradition of training young players to recruit soldiers, including SLNA. As the cradle of training football talents, the Nghe An team happily introduced many players for their partners to choose from.

It is expected that this weekend, a series of players including Nhu Thuat, Quoc Tuan, Van Tuan, Van The, Van Manh, Xuan Thang... will go to the Central Highlands to join Dak Lak. Among them, there are experienced and senior players such as Nhu Thuat, Quoc Tuan, Van Tuan or young players of the U.19, U.21 groups such as Xuan Thang, Van Manh... SLNA said that leaving and competing in the First Division will help young players mature, and solve the unemployment problem of some players in the current difficult context.

After the unsuccessful cooperation with B.Binh Duong, Van Tuan will be a Dak Lak player.

Many young SLNA players will join Dak Lak.

The most surprising of these is Nhu Thuat. This player who grew up in the 2000 U.16 Asian Cup, after 2 years playing in the First Division with SQC.Binh Dinh, has returned and wants to end his career at his hometown team. However, it may be related to the income issue, the Nghe An team suggested that Thuat join Dak Lak with a signing bonus and a higher salary.

Similarly, after 2 seasons playing for Tay Ninh, Quoc Tuan also returned with the desire to find another club with more challenges. Introduced to Dak Lak, a rookie in the First Division with many ambitions, Tuan happily accepted. As for Van Tuan, after the story of unsuccessful cooperation with B.Binh Duong, he is also in need of finding a new team to continue his career and Dak Lak is also considered a suitable choice.

For the remaining players, when they have not been able to assert themselves in the SLNA first team, the First Division teams are considered to be at an average level. Over the years, the Nghe An team often sends their young players to play in other teams so that when they are stronger and more experienced, they will be called back. Typically, in the case of Dinh Bao, The Nhat or The Cuong, last year they were still "mercenaries" but now they are strong enough to play in the first team and SLNA keeps them to fight in the new season.

Whether they are players who have played football for a long time or young names, all are excited about the trip to Dak Lak. This Central Highlands team has determined to build a core of players from Nghe An and for Nhu Thuat, Van Tuan, Quoc Tuan or Dinh The, this is a great opportunity to show their own value. Meanwhile, for other young faces, joining this First Division team, in addition to good treatment, is also an opportunity to rub shoulders and thereby become more mature.
