SLNA renews contract with Phan Van Duc: 'Right person, right time'
(Baonghean.vn) - On the afternoon of May 19 in Hanoi, the contract with a term until the end of the 2024 season between SLNA's Board of Directors and player Phan Van Duc was officially completed.
No need to analyze carefully, everyone understands that Phan Van Duc's agreement to stay at Vinh Stadium is no different from a "blockbuster deal" for SLNA. Simply, the player from Yen Thanh is one of the best midfielders in Vietnamese football at the present time, even in the whole Southeast Asia region.

Thus, in the near future, the SLNA coaching staff will not have to worry about the "post-Phan Van Duc" problem. Certainly, the left midfielder position of the Nghe An team will still be assigned to the player born in 1996. And once his future is secured, Phan Van Duc will be more comfortable and excited in competition.
Just go out there with the utmost determination,Phan Van Ducalways a terrible threat to every defense of the teams in V.League. What has been done in the colors of SLNA, U22 Vietnam, Olympic Vietnam and the Vietnam National Team over the past time is clear proof.
Besides the purely professional value, SLNA's success in retaining Phan Van Duc also created a positive effect on coach Nguyen Huy Hoang and his team and Nghe An football fans. Don't forget that recently, the Vinh Stadium team has been in a very chaotic situation.

SLNA's poor performance in the first phase of V.League 2021 has caused a stir among Nghe An football fans, followed by a "domino chain" with the departure of coach Ngo Quang Truong and the farewell of Bac A Bank after 12 years of association. SLNA is like a ship that is swaying and losing direction in the middle of a storm.
Although Tan Long Group is completing the final procedures to take over SLNA, Nghe An football fans are still skeptical about this philanthropist. However, thanks to the 3-year contract with Phan Van Duc, Tan Long Group has initially gained the sympathy and support of SLNA fans.
Not only that, Phan Van Duc's decision to continue playing for his hometown team will affect the decision to stay or leave of other players such as Nguyen Van Hoang, Pham Xuan Manh... It is very likely that SLNA will successfully retain many more important pillars, if they continue to receive the "green light" and strong support from Tan Long Group.
It is not too much to say, it is not too early to affirm that SLNA has had a "revolutionary" contract with Phan Van Duc, a new symbol at Vinh stadium. The "loyalty" of Duc "cot" promises to bring great values to the Nghe An team in all aspects./.
