SLNA: Midfielder Thai Bao Trung missed his appointment once again
(Baonghean.vn) - The Nghe An team has announced the list of young players added to the first team to prepare for the 2020 season. Unfortunately, there is no appearance of Thai Bao Trung, the player once known as a copy of Phan Van Duc.
The midfielder from Thanh Chuong shared: “Honestly, I am not surprised with this result, because in the past time, I have not shown much. However, I still feel unhappy because my dream of wearing the SLNA shirt to compete in the V.League and National Cup arena has not come true.”
This is the second consecutive time that Thai Bao Trung has been removed from the list of players to be promoted to the SLNA first team before the new season. Last year, the player born in 2000 also had to "pack his bags" and return to the youth team because he was not in the plans of coach Nguyen Duc Thang.

In the second leg of the 2019 National Second Division, the player nicknamed Trung “ruoi” played for Ba Ria-Vung Tau Club, on loan. Although coach Tran Minh Chien only regularly sent him onto the field from the bench, Thai Bao Trung still left a special mark (contributing 3 assists).
After returning from Ba Ria - Vung Tau Club, the 20-year-old midfielder was again in the U21 SLNA squad participating in the 2019 National U21 qualifying round held at Viettel Sports Center. The goal against the home team U21 Viettel in the 3rd match was Thai Bao Trung's most memorable move in that tournament.

However, that is not enough for Thai Bao Trung to be able to compete in a fierce arena like V.League. Poor physical strength makes the Thanh Chuong player always at a disadvantage in one-on-one situations with opponents. That is one of the reasons why Thai Bao Trung has not been given a chance by the SLNA coaching board in the 2020 season.
To be promoted to SLNA's first team, Thai Bao Trung must learn a lot from his senior Phan Van Duc, a player who also has a rather slim body./.
