Striker Dinh Bac shared his regret on his personal page after getting injured in the middle of the U23 Asian tournament.
(Baonghean.vn) - Striker Nguyen Dinh Bac shared a status on his personal page, saying he was very regretful that he could not continue to compete with his teammates in the U23 Asian tournament.
On the night of April 17, U23 Vietnam will meet U23 Kuwait in the first match of Group D of the 2024 AFC U23 Championship finals.
Right from the first minutes of the match, U23 Vietnam suffered a big loss in attack when Nguyen Dinh Bac got injured. His left leg showed signs of spraining his ankle when the post landed while tackling the ball. The Nghe An player received medical care but only 4 minutes later, he signaled to be substituted because he could not continue playing.
Today, April 18, after receiving test results from the medical department, Dinh Bac expressed regret at not being able to continue competing with his teammates in the U23 Asian tournament.
On his personal page, Dinh Bac shared:''All my passion, desire, and effort before this tournament just stopped here? It's sad to receive the result and not be able to fight with my brothers in the rest of the tournament. But that's football, trying is not enough, you need luck here too.
I will be here and cheer for the team and hope for the best results for us. Hopefully I will be strong enough to get through this time''.
Right after the opening match at the Asian Cup, Dinh Bac started to have bad luck, along with a rapid decline in form. He got injured and had to sit out the match against Indonesia, when the Vietnamese team was defeated 0-1. After that, coach Troussier's team quickly ended their journey with a loss to Iraq and returned home.
The Nghe An striker came to the U23 Asian finals with high hopes. In this tournament, U23 Vietnam did not face much pressure on performance, fans' expectations were not high, and the media had little access due to the remote venue in Qatar. Combined with the trust of coach Hoang Anh Tuan, it can be said that this was like a "lifesaver" for Dinh Bac to regain his form.
However, bad luck followed him after only 10 minutes of playing in the opening match. The player wearing the number 15 jersey of the Vietnam U23 team tackled the ball fiercely, leading to an ankle injury and Dinh Bac's journey would also end shortly./.
