Bringing emotions to Nghe An fans
Along with Olaha, goalkeeper Van Viet of Song Lam Nghe An is making a strong impression and is one of the players bringing many emotions to Nghe An fans.
In the 2023/24 season, Song Lam Nghe An's defense does not have experienced central defenders, but with the talent of the goalkeeper from Tan Ky, this team is taking the opportunity to escape the Play off ticket.
Van Viet is a goalkeeper who does not have a truly ideal physique, only 1.81m tall. However, with the ability to react extremely quickly, enter and exit appropriately, and be sensitive in judging situations, Van Viet always makes opposing strikers frustrated. In the campaign to "escape" from the second-to-last position in the rankings, Van Viet always plays the role of a hero, a reliable stopper for the Vinh home team.
Recalling the match between Song Lam Nghe An and Binh Duong in round 21 at Vinh Stadium, Van Viet left a big impression in the eyes of Nghe An fans. In that match, Van Viet made some amazing saves that discouraged stars like Tien Linh, Atshimene Charles, Vi Hao...
Especially in the 56th minute of the match, Van Viet had a reasonable entrance and exit, along with great reflexes to block Minh Khoa's close-range shot, thereby helping Song Lam Nghe An avoid a visible loss.
It can be said that Van Viet is a goalkeeper who is making a strong impression at the 2023/24 National Football Championship.
After 22 rounds, Van Viet has officially entered the field 20 times with 1,800 minutes of playing in the shirt of Song Lam Nghe An this season.
Nghe An Newspaper Cup - where dreams begin
In Nghe An, Tan Ky is considered a land rich in football tradition. Although it is a mountainous district, in recent years, the football movement here has developed quite well, the children have a burning passion for playing football. This is also the basis for Tan Ky football team to always be a "big force" at the Nghe An Newspaper Cup Youth - Children Tournament. The young players in this mountainous district are all proud to participate in the Nghe An Newspaper Cup.
Goalkeeper Van Viet - the number 1 goalkeeper of Song Lam Nghe An is no exception. 12 years ago, in order to live his passion, Van Viet had to travel nearly 12km to town to practice with the Tan Ky Children's football team. However, the first year he participated in the Nghe An Newspaper Cup, Viet was only 10 years old, so he was only a "supporting actor" in the Tan Ky Children's team. It was not until 1 year later that Van Viet really made his mark, in the role of number 1 goalkeeper of his hometown team participating in the Nghe An Newspaper Cup Youth - Children's Tournament.
That year, with a well-balanced and highly skilled force, Nhi Dong Tan Ky made waves, with convincing victories over many traditional teams in this tournament. And with the task of blocking the home team's final line, Van Viet discouraged the opposing strikers, creating a foothold for his teammates to play well and thereby speed towards the finish line.
In the 2013 season, Tan Ky Children's Club won the Youth - Children's Cup of Nghe An Newspaper and this was also the door that brought Van Viet to professional football.
Van Viet shared: “Nghe An Newspaper Cup is the starting point for my dream of playing professional football. Therefore, when I grow up, I still do not forget to follow Nghe An Newspaper Cup every summer. Because there I can find the pure memories of my childhood. I wish you all a successful football season and achieve the goals you have set for yourself.”
