The disappearance of former Song Lam Nghe An striker Ho Tuan Tai
(Baonghean.vn)- Although he is an important pillar of the team, the striker born in 1995 has not yet contributed much to Ho Chi Minh City Club.
Up to this point in V.League 2023, Ho Tuan Tai has only played 191 minutes and has not scored any goals. These are extremely disappointing numbers for the striker who played for U19 Vietnam and U22 Vietnam, under coach Guillaume Graechen.

In fact, the reason why Ho Tuan Tai was absent from the recent matches of Ho Chi Minh City Club is not due to technical issues. According to information from the Thong Nhat Stadium team, the former striker of Song Lam Nghe An is in the process of recovering from a ligament injury.
It is known that the injury that Ho Tuan Tai suffered occurred during the away match against Dong A Thanh Hoa (round 7, phase 1). And since then, the striker born in 1995 has had to receive treatment at the IRC International Sports Injury Rehabilitation Center of player Luong Xuan Truong, opened in Ho Chi Minh City.

This season, coach Vu Tien Thanh's squad is both weak and lacking. Therefore, the absence of players with professional qualifications and extensive experience such as Ho Tuan Tai has significantly affected the performance of the team nicknamed "red battleship".
The proof is that at the end of phase 1, Ho Chi Minh City Club only finished in second to last place with 8 points in hand. That also means that Ho Chi Minh City Club will face countless difficulties in phase 2, where there is the presence of Song Lam Nghe An, Hoang Anh Gia Lai, Khanh Hoa, SHB Da Nang and B.Binh Duong.
Hopefully, Ho Tuan Tai will recover quickly to join the team in phase 2 of V.League 2023.
