(Baonghean.vn) - The midfielder wearing the number 4 shirt was one of SLNA's best players in the 1-0 win over SHB Da Nang. The 3 points that the Nghe An team won were largely due to the Nghi Loc player.

Before the match with SHB Da Nang, experts and football fans in Nghe An were worried about the central midfield position of the home team SLNA. While the duo Dang Van Lam - Bui Dinh Chau were still inexperienced in battle, veteran Nguyen Quang Tinh was no longer physically fit, on the other side of the battle line, the team from the Han River possessed a midfield rich in professional quality and extensive playing experience, with the trio Hoang Minh Tam - Dang Anh Tuan - Nguyen Tai Loc.

The first minutes of the match reflected that exactly. Right after the opening whistle, the away team players controlled the game and continuously created dangerous attacks, thanks to the mobility of the midfield. However, what Hoang Minh Tam and his teammates did was only limited to opportunities. Goalkeeper Nguyen Van Hoang's net was still protected by the great efforts of Gustavo Santos, Tran Dinh Dong, Nguyen Sy Nam, Thai Ba Sang and especially Bui Dinh Chau - a player who played like a brave warrior.

Throughout the 90 minutes of the match between SLNA and SHB Da Nang, the player wearing the number 4 jersey moved non-stop, often appearing at hot spots on the field. It is not an exaggeration to say that the away team's players were somewhat "frozen" after Bui Dinh Chau's fierce ball-snatching moves. Therefore, the game quickly belonged to SLNA, with a series of opportunities created in front of goalkeeper Nguyen Tuan Manh's goal, with shots that almost became goals by Phan Van Duc, Ho Tuan Tai, Alagie Sosseh...

Not only did Bui Dinh Chau successfully complete the task of intercepting and recovering the ball, he also did a good job of supporting the attack. In the 26th minute, the Nghi Loc player had a delicate pass, helping Phan Van Duc face goalkeeper Nguyen Tuan Manh. Unfortunately, instead of finishing at a narrow angle, Duc "cot" decided to choose the option of passing the ball inside and missed the opportunity to score for the Vinh home team. In the final minutes of the match, Bui Dinh Chau made a very sweet curling shot, sending the ball just a hair higher than the "A-angle". Don't forget, the midfielder born in 1996 rarely makes finishing shots.
That said, Bui Dinh Chau is very confident in his own handling. This is extremely important for a player who has just entered his first season in the V.League. It is no coincidence that in all 5 matches this season (3 matches in the V.League and 2 matches in the National Cup), Bui Dinh Chau appeared in the starting lineup of SLNA, despite the presence of Vuong Quoc Trung, Nguyen Quang Tinh and Ho Sy Sam on the bench of the Nghe An team. Coach Ngo Quang Truong must have great confidence in Bui Dinh Chau's talent to give the starting position to the Best Player at the 2012 National U17 Finals.
Hopefully, under the guidance of Coach Ngo Quang Truong, Bui Dinh Chau will improve even more in the near future. Especially more sophisticated in the situations of dispute and ball handling. Objectively speaking, the 24-year-old midfielder's playing style still relies too much on strength. And the players in V.League are full of tricks.
