(Baonghean.vn) - V.League 2020 has gone through 11 rounds, but Nguyen Phu Nguyen has only been used by coach Ngo Quang Truong for 5 minutes, in the match between SLNA and Hong Linh Ha Tinh (entering the field to replace Ho Tuan Tai). A very disappointing number for the 25-year-old midfielder.

Before joining SLNA this season, Nguyen Phu Nguyen had spent half a season on loan at Hai Phong. At Lach Tray Stadium, Nguyen Phu Nguyen played in 4 matches and mainly played as a central midfielder, a position that is not the forte of the player born in 1995.

Returning to Vinh Stadium after a period of "training", it was thought that Nguyen Phu Nguyen would have another opportunity to prove his ability in SLNA's shirt. Notably, the person holding the position of "captain" of the Nghe An team is Coach Ngo Quang Truong, Nguyen Phu Nguyen's teacher in the SLNA U17 team in 2012.

However, since the beginning of the season, Nguyen Phu Nguyen's usual position has been on the bench. Even being able to come on as a substitute is a luxury for Nguyen Phu Nguyen, although this player has no physical problems. The last time the midfielder from Nam Dan suffered an injury (a fractured wrist), he only had to rest for nearly a month.

Not being able to compete for a position with Phan Van Duc and Ho Tuan Tai is completely normal. But having to be a backup plan for new faces like Tran Dinh Tien, Tran Ngoc Anh and Nguyen Van Viet, that is unacceptable for a player who has many years of experience in V.League like Nguyen Phu Nguyen.

At the end of 2020, the contract between Nguyen Phu Nguyen and SLNA will officially expire. Not being able to play much not only affects his performance, but also makes it difficult for Nguyen Phu Nguyen to "catch the eye" of other teams. It can be said that Nguyen Phu Nguyen's current situation is extremely difficult.
