Midfielder Song Lam Nghe An and unforgettable memories at Nghe An Newspaper Cup
Although only 19 years old, in his first season playing for Song Lam Nghe An, Quang Vinh has made a strong impression. And when thinking back to his childhood, the Nghe An Newspaper Cup is still a beautiful and unforgettable memory.
Impressions of the first season in V.League
Song Lam Nghe An midfielder Nguyen Quang Vinh is a name that has been mentioned quite a lot recently. Because this 19-year-old player is having an impressive performance at the 2023/2024 National Football Championship.
Just a newcomer to the V.League at the beginning of this season, Quang Vinh has quickly asserted his talent and won the trust of the Nghe An team's coaching staff. After a few days of being promoted to play for the Song Lam Nghe An first team, coach Phan Nhu Thuat gave Quang Vinh the opportunity to come on the bench in round 1 of the V.League 2023/2024 against Viettel.
During the following period, this midfielder always consciously learned from his seniors and controlled himself in daily life. This was the plus point that helped the midfielder born in 2005 score points in the eyes of the coaching staff of Nghe An Club.
From a supporting role, when he only entered the field at the end of the second half, Quang Vinh has strived to become the main character in important confrontations of Song Lam Nghe An.
Possessing a relatively good physique, with a height of 1m74, the central midfielder from Nghi Loc always shows his effectiveness in competitive situations. In addition, this player is also considered the successor of Khac Ngoc with quite skillful technique, along with the ability to finish with both feet with great power. This has brought a high breakthrough in the attacks of Song Lam Nghe An.
As of round 21 of V.League 2023/2024, Quang Vinh has played 18 times, with 997 minutes of playing time in the Nghe An Club shirt. Especially in the series of 3 consecutive wins in rounds 19, 20, 21, Quang Vinh contributed 2 goals for the Vinh home team. Those were the goals against Khanh Hoa and Binh Dinh teams. These are all goals that demonstrate the composure, accuracy and technique of the midfielder from Nghi Loc.
It can be affirmed that Quang Vinh is currently the most worth-watching young player in V.League 2023/2024. And if this midfielder continues to work hard in training and is strict in living, he promises to become a mainstay player of Song Lam Nghe An in the coming seasons.
“My initial success did not come from talent, but I think the coaching staff and teammates at Song Lam Nghe An were the ones who made my mark in my first season playing in the V.League. To have a solid position in the club's squad, I need to make more efforts. I will work seriously to gain the trust of the coaching staff, teammates and the audience” – Quang Vinh shared.
A place to nurture young talent
Like many other teammates, before becoming an athlete at the Nghe An youth football training center, Quang Vinh participated in the Nghe An Newspaper Cup Youth - Children Football Tournament.
In the 2017 season, this player joined the Nghi Loc Children's Football Team. That year, Nghi Loc did not have a very excellent force, but Quang Vinh's shining performance helped the home team reach the semi-finals. However, in the match with Do Luong Children's Football Team, Nghi Loc Children's Football Team had to accept to stop playing. This opponent later won the championship at the Nghe An Newspaper Cup Youth - Children's Football Tournament in 2017.
“In my childhood years, Nghe An Newspaper Cup was the biggest stage I ever participated in. Until now, I still remember clearly my feelings when I stepped onto the field for the semi-final match. It was a very exciting atmosphere, the sound of trumpets, drums and cheers from the audience, that gave us more excitement and determination to show our full potential” - Quang Vinh recalled.
Although the Nghi Loc Children's Football Team could not reach the final match of the season, with his qualities, Quang Vinh caught the eye of scouts from the Song Lam Nghe An youth football training center.
Quang Vinh shared: “Nghe An Newspaper Cup was the first gateway to bring me to professional football. That is why I always remember and cherish the moments I spent at the biggest football tournament for children in my province that year. I hope that the young players participating in this year's tournament will play with innocence and try their best in every move. And if they can show their full potential at Nghe An Newspaper Cup, they will have the opportunity to step onto the path of professional football”./.
