The fate of former midfielder Song Lam Nghe An at the Southeast team
Recently, Nguyen Phu Nguyen has had to continuously wear out his pants on the bench of Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc.
Under the "willingness to spend" of boss Pham Huong Son, Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc is the team with the most investment in the National First Division 2023/2024. Along with the appearance of coach Nguyen Anh Duc are a series of quality new recruits, typically Bui Tan Truong, Hoang Minh Tam, Nguyen Huu Khoi and especially Nguyen Phu Nguyen, former midfielder of Song Lam Nghe An and Hai Phong.
Although he only signed a 1-year contract, with proven talent and extensive battle experience, Nguyen Phu Nguyen is still one of the most anticipated faces.
Furthermore, the midfielder from Nam Dan can also take on many positions in the attack. It is no coincidence that the player born in 1995 was given the number 10 shirt by the coaching staff of Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc.
In the early stages of the 2023/2024 National First Division, everything went quite smoothly for Nguyen Phu Nguyen. Not only did he regularly play on the field, but the 29-year-old player also scored 1 goal.
Nguyen Phu Nguyen's goal was scored in Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc's 3-0 victory over visiting team Phu Tho in the second round, which took place at the end of October last year.
Unfortunately, that is all that Nguyen Phu Nguyen has been able to do for Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc, up to this point. A minor injury (resting for nearly 3 weeks) caused the former midfielder of Song Lam Nghe An and Hai Phong to lose his position to other teammates.
Therefore, it is not surprising that after 18 rounds of the 2023/2024 National First Division, Nguyen Phu Nguyen has only been on the field for a total of 202 minutes.
With the deep squad of Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc, the chance of Nguyen Phu Nguyen being appreciated by coach Nguyen Anh Duc is extremely slim.
Currently, the midfield of the team nicknamed "The Green Warriors" is quite crowded with the presence of Dieu Quy, Nguyen Ngoc My, Luu Tu Nhan, Nguyen Van Vinh, Phan Tan Tai, Hoang Minh Tam, Tran Manh Hung...
It is very likely that with the predetermined structure and the team's impressive performance (ranked 3rd), coach Nguyen Anh Duc will continue to put his trust in his "favorite students". The faces that are sitting on the bench will continue to play the role of "redundant", and Nguyen Phu Nguyen is no exception. Clearly, Nguyen Phu Nguyen is in a very difficult situation.
It is known that the contract between Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc and Nguyen Phu Nguyen will expire when the 2023/2024 season officially ends. It is almost certain that the former midfielder of Song Lam Nghe An and Hai Phong will have to find a new destination for the 2024/2025 season. Hopefully, luck will smile on Nguyen Phu Nguyen in the following seasons./.
