Another player leaves SLNA

Sharing with Nghe An Newspaper, the midfielder born in 1995 said: "Although I really wanted to play near home to take care of my family, I had to leave to find new opportunities. It's reallySLNA, I don't have many opportunities to play regularly".

Due to not being able to find a common voice in the contract negotiation process with SLNA's Board of Directors, Nguyen Phu Nguyen decided to leave Vinh Stadium after nearly 15 years of association. Photo courtesy of PV

Nguyen Phu Nguyen is a player of the same generation as Hoang Van Khanh, Ho Tuan Tai... The midfielder from Nam Dan was a mainstay of SLNA youth teams, from U13 to U21. Nguyen Phu Nguyen's most impressive achievement was the championship at the 2012 National U17 Finals, a tournament in which this player was always in the official lineup.

Unfortunately, since joining the first team, Nguyen Phu Nguyen has not been used much by the SLNA coaching staff. Various injuries have prevented the 25-year-old player from competing for a position with his teammates. Last season, Nguyen Phu Nguyen even had to wear the Hai Phong shirt on loan.

According to statistics, in 5 seasons playing for SLNA and Hai Phong (2016 - 2020), Nguyen Phu Nguyen played a total of 540 minutes and scored 1 goal in the V.League arena. In the 2020 season alone, the midfielder from Nam Dan only had a total of 71 minutes on the field.

Objectively speaking, Nguyen Phu Nguyen is a versatile player who can play many different positions. In addition to his usual position as a right winger, Nguyen Phu Nguyen also plays well as a left winger and a central midfielder, when assigned by the coaching staff.

Thus, Nguyen Phu Nguyen is the fourth face, after Ho Tuan Tai, Felipe Martins and Nguyen Quang Tinh, to officially say goodbye to the Nghe An team./.
