Song Lam Nghe An 'dispatches' striker Ho Phuc Tinh to Dong Nai
(Baonghean.vn)- Unable to compete for a starting position in SLNA's attack during the first leg, Ho Phuc Tinh had to temporarily leave the Nghe An team to join Dong Nai in the National First Division.
At the 2014 U.21 Thanh Nien Newspaper tournament held in Can Tho, Ho Phuc Tinh was an extremely important factor in the lineup of the Nghe An team. Playing as a striker, the striker born in 1994 showed excellent performance when he won the double individual title of "Best Player of the Tournament" and "Top Scorer" with 5 goals.
That year, the striker from Quynh Luu was also considered a "hero" who helped U.21 SLNA win the 2014 tournament with the only goal in the final match against Ha Noi T&T. However, when he was promoted to the first team in 2015, the huge gap between the youth team and the V.League made it impossible for Ho Phuc Tinh to compete with foreign players and his teammates.

Striker Ho Phuc Tinh was once called up to the Vietnam Olympic Team by coach Toshiya Miura. |
At the end of the first leg of V.League 2016, Ho Phuc Tinh had only played in 2 matches (44 minutes in total). In order to prevent his talent from fading, SLNA's coaching board agreed to loan Ho Phuc Tinh to Dong Nai until the end of this season. Last night, May 29, SLNA's striker flew to Dong Nai to join the team. Previously, in the early stages of the season, defender Nguyen Van Manh and midfielder Le Manh Dung were also loaned to Dong Nai after SLNA finalized the official roster.

At SLNA, Ho Phuc Tinh's chances of playing are very small. |
Currently, in SLNA's attack, in addition to the two foreign players Odah and Salia who are holding the starting positions, strikers Viet Nguyen, Van Duc, and Tuan Tai are all working hard to have more opportunities to show their talent. Phuc Tinh's move to Dong Nai is beneficial for this player because he will most likely be able to play regularly. Dong Nai is currently ranked 6th in the 2016 First Division standings with 9 points after 8 matches played.
