The ups and downs of former SLNA goalkeeper Phan Dinh Vu Hai in Hai Phong's shirt
(Baonghean.vn) - The goalkeeper from Ha Tinh is going through a very difficult time playing for Hai Phong Club this season.
It was thought that in the 2019 season, Phan Dinh Vu Hai would prove his talent and importance to the Lach Tray team. The departure of his senior Dang Van Lam from Hai Phong Club was the best opportunity for Phan Dinh Vu Hai to become the number 1 choice in goal for Hai Phong Club. Obviously, compared to his two teammates playing in the same position, Pham Van Luan and Nguyen Van Toan, the former SLNA goalkeeper is rated much higher, at least in terms of battle experience.
Especially in the last season, the goalkeeper born in 1994 played excellently for SLNA, on loan. At Vinh Stadium, Phan Dinh Vu Hai's impressive performances contributed to helping the Nghe team have a quite successful tournament. The achievement of winning 3rd place in the National Cup and 4th place in the V.League of the Nghe team was greatly contributed by the 25-year-old goalkeeper.

Returning to his home team Hai Phong FC, Phan Dinh Vu Hai was immediately valued by coach Truong Viet Hoang. In the first 3 rounds of V.League 2019, the goalkeeper from Ha Tinh appeared in the starting lineup and played the full 270 minutes. With Phan Dinh Vu Hai's excellence in goal, Hai Phong FC won 6/9 maximum points. A rather impressive start for Phan Dinh Vu Hai personally and the team of the "red phoenix flower city".
However, a minor injury before the match between SHB Da Nang Club and Hai Phong Club in the 2019 National Cup qualifiers turned everything upside down. Phan Dinh Vu Hai could not play, the person who was "replaced" was young goalkeeper Nguyen Van Toan. And since then, Phan Dinh Vu Hai's familiar position has been on the bench. The way the goalkeeper from Ha Tinh lost his position is extremely regrettable. After being a reserve for Dang Van Lam, now he let his junior Nguyen Van Toan take the starting position.

Objectively speaking, this result is somewhat surprising but very reasonable. Because in the recent past, Nguyen Van Toan has played excellently with his amazing reflexes. His two successful saves against Nguyen Van Toan (HAGL Club) and Pape Omar (Hanoi Club) are typical examples. It is not without reason that Coach Park Hang-seo summoned Nguyen Van Toan to the Vietnam National Team to participate in the King's Cup 2019.
According to research, it is known that Phan Dinh Vu Hai still has 2 years of contract with Hai Phong Club. Therefore, the most important task of the goalkeeper born in 1994 at the present time is to practice hard to continue competing for the starting position with Nguyen Van Toan and Pham Van Luan./.
