Injuries haunt German 'Ozil'
(Baonghean.vn) - Duc "Ozil" was once the hope of Song Lam Nghe An club, but his bad luck with injuries did not give him the chance to prove himself. Currently, this player is actively receiving treatment and hopes to soon return to the professional field.
Nguyen Van Duc was born in 1998, and was nicknamed Duc "Ozil" by his teammates because this player from Quynh Luu has a flamboyant, technical playing style, similar to the world-famous star Mesut Ozil (German national team player).

2021 season, Germany "Ozil" was promoted to the first teamLam River Nghe An. In V.League 2021, the midfielder born in 1998 played 4 matches, 3 of which were in the starting lineup. The most impressive match of Duc "Ozil" in that season was when he and his teammates won 2-0 against Binh Duong. However, V.League 2021 was later suspended due to Covid-19.
At the end of the 2021 season, Song Lam Nghe An had a friendly match with Hong Linh Ha Tinh. Unfortunately for Nguyen Van Duc, he suffered a torn ligament injury in his knee. In football, a torn ligament injury is one of the most serious injuries and players often have to retire when they suffer such an injury. However, Duc "Ozil" did not give up. He received support from Song Lam Nghe An and decided to have surgery at Hospital 108. At the end of 2022, after the recovery process, midfielder Quynh Luu was able to return to light training. However, the injury relapsed again and he had to continue to receive treatment and rehabilitation in Da Nang.
Nguyen Van Duc shared: "After more than a week of rehabilitation training in Da Nang, my injury has progressed well. If there are no abnormalities, in about 2 months I will be able to return to training and competing."
Currently, Nguyen Van Duc's contract with Song Lam Nghe An has expired and he is a free agent. "After fully recovering, I hope to find a club in the First Division to continue pursuing my passion for playing football" - Duc "Ozil" confided.
According to Duc "Ozil", he is currently having to spend all the money to treat his injury. This is a very difficult time for the midfielder born in 1998. Hopefully, with his relentless efforts, Van Duc will soon return and realize his unfinished dreams./.
