Midfielder Quang Tinh: Being able to contribute to the hometown team is always the best thing
(Baonghean.vn) - Quang Tinh had a relatively successful season playing for SLNA. The player from Do Luong is having a happy time at his hometown team after returning home.
In the 2015 season, Quang Tinh left the Nghe An team to go to the South to play for XSKT Can Tho. After 3 years of dedication to the Western team, Quang Tinh returned home to play for SLNA with a 1-year contract.
At an age where he is no longer in good shape, Quang Tinh is not often given the starting position by SLNA's coaching staff. However, with his talent, the player from Do Luong is still used at the appropriate times of each match.

In V.League 2019, Quang Tinh played 21 matches, in which he was in the starting lineup in 11 matches. The 31-year-old midfielder contributed 3 goals, not many but they were all considered masterpieces of the V.League round. Quang Tinh's shots were always neat and sophisticated.
The most impressive goal was probably the goal scored in the match against HAGL in round 13 of V.League 2019 at Vinh Stadium. That was an extremely smart move by Quang Tinh before receiving a pass from his teammate and volleying the ball into HAGL's net. Quang Tinh's goal to increase the score to 2-0 was the end of the Mountain City team's efforts to equalize.
Also at Vinh Stadium in the 19th round, Quang Tinh, in a rare start, immediately shone with a connecting kick to open the score 1-0 after a long pass from the middle of the field by Vo Ngoc Toan. Quang Tinh's early goal created momentum for the Nghe An team, and in the end SLNA won convincingly with a score of 3-1 against the "descendants of The Cong" army. That goal of Quang Tinh is considered a rare thing in V.League and for many people, it was the most beautiful moment at Vinh Stadium in the 2019 season.

At the end of V.League 2019, Quang Tinh was among the players whose contracts with the Nghe An team ended. However, with what the 31-year-old midfielder has done, it is very likely that he will be re-signed by SLNA. After the departure of a series of key players, more than ever SLNA is in dire need of experienced and skilled seniors like Quang Tinh to lead the young players.
“I’m back now and I won’t compete anymore. Playing for my hometown team is always a special thing that all Nghe An players desire. If I continue to be given the opportunity, I will be willing to devote all I have to SLNA in the future,” midfielder Quang Tinh shared with the writer.
