Goalkeeper Vu Hai wants to stay with SLNA for a long time

Having made his V.League debut in Hai Phong's shirt in 2017 and playing 6 matches, Vu Hai caught the attention of coach Nguyen Duc Thang in the context of SLNA goalkeeper Nguyen Manh suffering from a long-term injury.

Phan Dinh Vu Hai in the 2018 season became SLNA's number 1 goalkeeper with 19 matches in V.League, matches in the National Cup and AFC Cup 2018. Commenting on the player from Ha Tinh, SLNA's head coach said: "Phan Dinh Vu Hai is a goalkeeper with good skills and special reflexes, but his competitive mentality is Vu Hai's weakness. When he returned to SLNA, Hai improved a lot and contributed greatly to the success of the current team."

In some early matches of the season, Phan Dinh Vu Hai showed signs of mental instability and made unreasonable moves. However, in the 8-match unbeaten streak of the Nghe An team and their current 3rd place in the rankings, Vu Hai played a solid support role for his teammates.

In the match against Hanoi at Hang Day Stadium, Vu Hai continued to have an excellent performance when he blocked G. Oseni's penalty and neutralized many extremely dangerous situations. In the match against SHB Da Nang at Vinh Stadium, the goalkeeper born in 1994 had no less than 4 saves for the Nghe An team.

Unfortunately, he had to leave the field due to injury before the match started. Vu Hai said: “During the warm-up, I got injured and thought it would only take a few days to recover, but now because I tried to play until the end of the match, the injury is more serious and more painful. There are still a few matches left in the 2018 season, I really want to play for SLNA for a long time. As a native of Ha Tinh, SLNA is also my hometown team.”

Thus, in the upcoming away match against Than Quang Ninh in round 23 of V.League, Phan Dinh Vu Hai will not be able to play. In the long term, goalkeeper Nguyen Manh can only return in the 2019 season and it can be said that keeping Vu Hai after the end of V.League 2018 will be a reasonable decision./.
