Song Lam Nghe An vs Hoang Anh Gia Lai: 'Return Day' of Phan Dinh Vu Hai

Before joining the mountain town team, Phan Dinh Vu Hai had played for Hai Phong, Than Quang Ninh, Hong Linh Ha Tinh and especially Song Lam Nghe An. With the number 1 goalkeeper Tran Nguyen Manh being seriously injured right before the 2018 season, the Nghe An team had to "rely" on Hai Phong to borrow Phan Dinh Vu Hai to play.

Although he just arrived at Vinh Stadium, Phan Dinh Vu Hai received the absolute trust of the coaching staff.Lam River Nghe AnAccording to statistics at V.League 2018, Phan Dinh Vu Hai played 22 matches with a duration of 1,969 minutes. It should be noted that at that time, the Nghe An team had 3 goalkeepers: Le Van Hung, Le Quang Dai and Tran Van Tien.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Phan Dinh Vu Hai's excellence in goal has contributed to helping the Vinh team win 4th place in V.League 2018 and the bronze medal in the National Cup 2018. Perhaps, the season playing for Song Lam Nghe An is the most memorable years in the "shorts and shirt" career of the goalkeeper from Ha Tinh.

At this point, after 5 rounds of V.League 2023/2024, Phan Dinh Vu Hai has only been used by coach Kiatisuk Senamuang once. In the match between LPBank Hoang Anh Gia Lai and The Cong-Viettel, the former Hai Phong goalkeeper was in the starting lineup. However, Phan Dinh Vu Hai's efforts still could not help the home team avoid defeat against The Cong-Viettel (1-2).

Most likely, in the away match against Song Lam Nghe An, Phan Dinh Vu Hai will continue to be highly regarded by the Thai strategist. After all, compared to his teammate Duong Van Loi (born in 2000), Phan Dinh Vu Hai has more battle experience. Not to mention that for Phan Dinh Vu Hai, Vinh Stadium is not an unfamiliar place.

The match between Song Lam Nghe An and LPBank Hoang Anh Gia Lai in round 6 of V.League 2023/2024 will take place at Vinh Stadium at 5:00 p.m. on December 17./.
