SLNA successfully retained the second goalkeeper
(Baonghean.vn) - On the morning of December 2, the contract between SLNA and Le Van Hung was officially completed. Accordingly, the goalkeeper born in 1992 will stay with his hometown team for another 2 years.
Although being pursued by several teams, Le Van Hung still decided to stick withSLNA.Thus, this is the second time the goalkeeper from Thai Hoa town has signed a new contract with the Nghe An team, the last time was at the end of 2017.
Le Van Hung is a player of the same generation as Tran Phi Son, Ho Khac Ngoc, Vu Quang Nam and Ngo Hoang Thinh. In the past, the goalkeeper born in 1992 was the number 1 "goalkeeper" of U17 SLNA at the 2009 National U17 Finals and U21 SLNA at the 2014 National U21 Finals, 2 tournaments in which U17 SLNA and U21 SLNA won the championship.

Le Van Hung personally won the title of Best Goalkeeper at the 2009 National U17 Finals, with extremely impressive performances. Especially in the final match, Le Van Hung successfully blocked a penalty kick from a player on the U17 Dong Thap side in the last minute of extra time, helpingU17 SLNAsecure a 1-0 victory.
However, since joining SLNA's first team, Le Van Hung has not shown much. The main reason is that the 28-year-old goalkeeper is often tormented by injuries. Recently, Le Van Hung has had to play as a reserve for Tran Nguyen Manh, Phan Dinh Vu Hai, Nguyen Van Hoang or be present in the medical room.
Hopefully, with this new contract,Le Van Hungwill have more luck to create fair competition with his two teammates Nguyen Van Hoang and Tran Van Tien. It seems that the goalkeeper position is the most secure place for SLNA in the 2021 season./.
