Nguyen Manh will wear the captain's armband of SLNA

(Baonghean.vn)-Talking with Nghe An Newspaper reporters about choosing a leader for the Nghe An team in the new 2016 season, SLNA head coach Ngo Quang Truong said: Nguyen Manh is the number 1 choice to wear the SLNA captain's armband.

After the departure of a series of pillars such as Hoang Thinh, Quang Tinh, Dinh Dong... SLNA is building Nguyen Manh to become a new symbol of the club.

According to SLNA head coach, in addition to good skills, Nguyen Manh is also a very exemplary player in daily life and has prestige with his teammates.

In 2015, goalkeeper Nguyen Manh played excellently for SLNA Club and made rapid progress when he was called up to the national team. The more he played, the more Nguyen Manh showed his solidity and stability, especially his ability to react and command the defense. The unfortunate thing for Nguyen Manh was that he suffered a serious injury and had to sit out almost the entire second leg of V.League 2015. However, right after recovering, Nguyen Manh continued to play very impressively.

In the Vietnam national team, with what he has shown in the matches of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, Nguyen Manh is currently the first choice of coach Miura in goal.

Nguyen Manh's strengths are quick reflexes, the ability to control the 16m50 area, move and enter very reasonably, judge situations accurately in aerial battles and be confident in catching low balls. With a strong spirit, this goalkeeper born in 1991 can stand firm against the pressure from the opponent's relentless attacks. That is also one of the reasons why the SLNA coaching board confidently chose Nguyen Manh as the leader of the Nghe An team in the current period.
