Tran Nam Hai: Determined to practice and compete well in the U23 Vietnam team
(Baonghean.vn) - Tran Nam Hai is one of 8 SLNA players called to join the Vietnam U23 team to compete in the 2023 Southeast Asian U23 tournament. After receiving the above information, Nam Hai determined to practice hard to gain the trust of the coaching staff.
Nam Hai is a player who grew up in the youth training center.Lam River Nghe AnPossessing many outstanding qualities, Nam Hai was soon promoted to the first team of Song Lam Nghe An when he was only 18 years old. The player was born in 2004 and is considered the youngest player of Song Lam Nghe An at the present time.
When Nhu Thuat took over the Vinh team, Nam Hai was transferred from the defensive midfielder position to play as a central defender. With the advantage of physique, physical strength, agility, and not afraid of competition, Nam Hai made a good impression in the eyes of the coaching staff of Song Lam Nghe An. In the match against Ho Chi Minh City Club in round 11 of phase 1 of V.League 2023, the player from Thanh Chuong played impressively, locking down the dangerous attacks of the away team. Mansaray's main striker, Hoang Vu Samson, despite having the advantage of physique and physical strength, could not make a difference against the young central defender Nam Hai. It seems that when arranged to play in the position in front of the goal, the player born in 2004 has brought out all his strengths.
Tran Nam Hai shared: "In my opinion, when the coach assigns me a position on the field, I have to perform well. However, at the moment, I think I am more suitable for the position of center back."
It is not by chance that Nam Hai can play well in the position of center back. Since playing in the youth teams, Thanh Chuong has had a long time to practice and play in this position. Therefore, Tran Nam Hai did not take too much time to adapt to the new role.
"I hope to continue to play more in the future" - Nam Hai said.
With his performance throughout this season, Tran Nam Hai was called up to the Vietnam U23 team to compete in the Southeast Asian U23 tournament, held in Thailand. After receiving the above information, Nam Hai could not hide his joy: "When I heard the news of being called up to the Vietnam U23 team, I personally felt happy. I will try to practice and compete well to gain the trust of the team's coaching staff" - Nam Hai shared.
The player also added: "Playing in the national team is an opportunity for me to gain more experience in competition, physical strength, confidence and technical skills. From there, it will help me contribute more to my hometown team and develop my career."
On the afternoon of July 29, Song Lam Nghe An will play at home against Binh Duong. Because the Nghe An Club has already completed its relegation target, coach Nhu Thuat is likely to give priority to young players to play and gain experience. And Nam Hai will have many opportunities to participate in this match. That will help the 19-year-old player have more conditions to continue to demonstrate his football ability, thereby making a strong impression on fans and experts./.
