Xuan Truong wishes fans a happy new year

Midfielder Luong Xuan Truong of U23 Vietnam sent his New Year greetings to fans on the occasion of the Lunar New Year: “2018 will have many changes when I return to play for HAGL in the V-League. I think it will be a challenge because I have not trained with the team for a long time.

I came back to Vietnam because I miss the support from the stands. I really miss the atmosphere at the football stadiums in Vietnam, especially Pleiku Stadium. In addition, playing football in my country will give me more opportunities to visit my family and spend more time with them.

I wish everyone to always love and share more feelings with their family, relatives and friends because Vietnamese people are always united and support each other like a big family."
