Dinh Xuan Tien - a prosperous new year
(Baonghean.vn) - Coach Hoang Anh Tuan once rated him as one of the best players in the 2003 generation, but his recent "disappearance" is causing this young talent to fall behind his peers.
2023 is a year full of changes for young midfielder Dinh Xuan Tien. This player born in 2003 is expected to shine in V.League 2023 in the shirt ofLam River Nghe Anand at the U20 Asian tournament. However, an injury during the preparation for the new season prevented Dinh Xuan Tien from performing as fans expected.
In the first rounds of V.League 2023, this midfielder from Nam Dan could not play the full 90 minutes. Meanwhile, in the U20 Vietnam shirt, Dinh Xuan Tien could not play in the U20 Asia tournament due to a recurring injury. This is a very unfortunate thing for Song Lam Nghe An and the U20 Vietnam team.
However, very quickly, this midfielder born in 2003 has returned strongly after injury. That is 4 goals and 1 assist in V.League to help Song Lam Nghe An stay in the league soon. Dinh Xuan Tien is the domestic player who scored the most goals for the Nghe team in V.League 2023.
In the U23 Vietnam team, this midfielder from Nam Dan also had brilliant performances to bring home the U23 Southeast Asia championship. This is also the tournament where Dinh Xuan Tien won the top scorer award. It can be said that coach Hoang Anh Tuan's assessment of his "favorite student" is completely justified.
Continuing his good form, Dinh Xuan Tien helped U21 Song Lam Nghe An reach the final of the 2023 National U21 tournament. That makes Nghe An fans believe even more in the shining performances of this midfielder wearing the number 10 shirt in the new season.
However, 216 minutes on the field on all fronts is a very modest number compared to the fans' expectations. Poor physical condition and violations in daily discipline have made Dinh Xuan Tien not have many times on the field in the past period of the 2023-2024 season.
This is what caused this young midfielder to lose his position in the Song Lam Nghe An squad and lose points in the eyes of coach Philip Troussier. This is quite a pity for Dinh Xuan Tien. Because the number of 3 goals and 1 assist after 216 minutes of play is not a bad number for this midfielder wearing the number 10 shirt. And if Dinh Xuan Tien had more time on the field, it is very likely that this player born in 2003 would have had the opportunity to be called up to the Vietnam National Team to participate in the Asian Cup - 2023.
However, the internal punishment and these regrettable omissions will be a memorable lesson for Dinh Xuan Tien. This lesson will help the U23 Vietnam player to become more mature and thoughtful in the future. With his talent, if Dinh Xuan Tien returns in time, he will have a place in the Song Lam Nghe An squad and the doors to the national teams will always be open.
Lucky forDinh Xuan TienV.League is on a break for more than a month for the Vietnam National Team to compete in the Asian Cup and Lunar New Year. This is a precious time to help this midfielder find himself again. Hopefully, at the age of 21, Dinh Xuan Tien will soon return to make stronger progress in the colors of Song Lam Nghe An and the Vietnam National Teams.
