Phan Dinh Thang's return to Vinh Stadium

Dinh Thang grew up from the VST training center in Cua Lo and was accepted by coach Dang Phuong Nam to train with the Viettel U17 team. The Phan boy's "shorts and numbered shirt" career in Hung Nguyen is said to be a bumpy one, with many mergers and transfers from Viettel, Hoa Phat Hanoi to Hanoi Football Club, and finally Thang fell into a state of helplessness. This is also the situation of many Nghe An players playing in the attack line, most of them bloom early and fade quickly.

At the end of 2012, the Hanoi Football Club of Mr. Kien disbanded, and the national U19 player Phan Dinh Thang was loaned to Binh Dinh to play in the 2013 First Division. In 2014, this midfielder went back to the North to play for his old team Viettel in the Second Division before being welcomed back to Tam Ky Stadium by Coach Hoang Van Phuc. However, he was not in the season plan of Coach Thanh Cong - a senior player from the academy.SLNAnow in charge of Quang Nam in the process of "rebuilding" the team.

Although he had a good starting point, he was in the national U19 team, but in Quang Nam for 6 seasons, the career of this player with a skillful left foot was considered to be difficult. He only played in 83 matches (4,812 minutes), scored 8 goals, in the 2016 and 2017 seasons, Dinh Thang scored the most, only 3 goals/season.Dinh Thangsmall, not strong in defense, in a 4-4-2 formation his ball handling ability is much slower than Thanh Trung on the right wing so he rarely gets to play as a starter. This is the professional reserve number 10 model.

In addition to leaving Quang Nam as a free agent without paying a transfer fee, his Nghe origin is a priority for Phan Dinh Thang to join SLNA. His professional strength is that sometimes this Hung Nguyen player has surprising solo runs from the sidelines straight into the opponent's goal. In V.League 2016, Dinh Thang had a long-range shot in the 94th minute to help Quang Nam win a dramatic 4-3 victory over SHB Da Nang right at Chi Lang Stadium.

Expectations

Despite not having the advantage of height and physique, Dinh Thang has been tested many times in the role of central midfielder in Quang Nam. With the ability to quickly take control of the position and persistently stick to it, Dinh Thang has made the opponent quite uncomfortable every time they confront him. Compared to Van Lam and Dinh Chau - the main players of SLNA in this position, Dinh Thang is better in terms of creating options but is inferior in terms of the ability to compete and block.

27 years old, 6 years of career, that is the luggage for Phan Dinh Thang to return home to compete this season.V.League 2021. Surely Phan Dinh Thang will know the lesson of midfielder Vuong Quoc Trung last season, not every return will be just red carpet and roses. If he coordinates well with the two foreign strikers of SLNA, Dinh Thang's chance to play in the starting lineup will be considered brighter. When neededCoach Ngo Quang TruongThang can be promoted to play as a striker in a 4-4-1-1 formation.

Being a reserve for Van Duc in the final season of his contract is both an opportunity and a challenge for Dinh Thang because Van Viet, Xuan Thang and many other young players of SLNA can play in this position. If 6 years of experience "far away, looking for a living" is brought into play, the ability to revive performance at Vinh Stadium will be tested, otherwise it will make the best days of the player's life attached to the bench.
