"Undercurrents" at Ho Chi Minh City Club, two Nghe An players leave

According to the investigation, the contract between Dinh Luat and Ho Chi Minh City Club will expire on November 30, 2018, but currently there is no movement from both sides. Everything is at a standstill and the possibility of breaking up is very high.

Responding to reporters, Dinh Luat said: “I and many others were promised by the team leaders to renegotiate the contract. Specifically, in my case, a person named Hung, who is considered to have the highest decision-making power in the team, told me that he would sign after the end of the season. Even Chairman Huu Thang said the same thing. However, after authorizing his subordinates to negotiate, they did not say a word, leaving everything in silence. Until now, I myself do not understand what the team leaders want and how to build the team.”

Currently, Truong Dinh Luat along with players Quoc Long, Ngoc Duy, Tien Thanh, Thanh Luong... are at My Dinh to attend the B-license course - Coaching organized by AFC.

Regarding Hau Au Van Hoan, it is known that Ho Chi Minh City Club has raised the issue of extending the contract with the defender who grew up from SLNA. However, Van Hoan refused because the team could not meet the requirements of this former national player. Acting President Le Cong Vinh was the one who personally brought Au Hoan and Dinh Luat to Ho Chi Minh City, but currently everything is still unclear under President Nguyen Huu Thang.

Although he is 35 years old, Dinh Luat still desires to play professionally for a few more years before considering retirement. He shared: "I feel that my physical strength and professionalism can still meet the demands of playing football at a high intensity. Actually, I want to play football in the V.League for one or a few more seasons before retiring. Money is no longer too important to me, as long as it is suitable for the club's finances and expertise."

At present, goalkeeper Dinh Xuan Viet, midfielder Dang Van Robert and a few other players have expired contracts but have not been renewed. Some information also said that Ho Chi Minh City Club has contacted Que Ngoc Hai with a huge signing bonus, but due to difficulties in investment sources, they have not been able to talk to the SLNA defender with "money".

When they were newly promoted, Ho Chi Minh City FC made a big deal about recruiting new players, but later on, the quality of the players that the team brought in through the transfer market was no longer as good as before. In V.League 2018, coach Toshiya Miura only helped the team stay in the league, finishing 12th overall before leaving./.
