AFF Cup 2016 center back wishes to return to play for SLNA
(Baonghean.vn) - At this time, Truong Dinh Luat still has not found a new destination, after parting ways with Ho Chi Minh City Club.
Recently, the former player born in 1983 has been focusing on solving family matters (building a new house). Currently, the central defender from Quy Hop (Nghe An) is still a free agent.
Sharing with Nghe An Newspaper reporter, Truong Dinh Luat affirmed: "My biggest wish now is to join my hometown team SLNA. If SLNA's leaders request, I will fly to Vinh immediately."

Truong Dinh Luat has played for Military Zone 4, Navibank Saigon, B. Binh Duong and most recently, Ho Chi Minh City Club of Chairman Nguyen Huu Thang. In every team, the 35-year-old player has proven his importance. At the AFF Cup 2016, Truong Dinh Luat was one of the most outstanding players of the Vietnamese team.
Last season, the former player of Military Zone 4 played in 17/26 matches of Ho Chi Minh City Club in the V.League. However, at the end of the 2018 season, Truong Dinh Luat and the Thong Nhat Stadium team could not find a common voice. For now, the central defender from Quy Hop (Nghe An) has 2 options: either find a new destination, or retire from his playing career.
Truong Dinh Luat revealed: “I still want to play top-level football for another 1-2 years, because my physical strength is still guaranteed. Unfortunately, very few teams, especially teams in the V.League, are interested in old players like me. If I have to say goodbye to my football career at this time, I will be really sad and regretful because I still have a desire to contribute. Hopefully, SLNA will give me a chance.”
Meanwhile, the Nghe An team is facing an extremely difficult problem regarding the central defender position. Most likely, the duo Que Ngoc Hai - Pham Manh Hung will say goodbye to Vinh Stadium to move to other teams (The Cong and Hai Phong). With Hoang Van Khanh and Pham The Nhat, there is not enough depth for SLNA's defense in the 2019 season.
Truong Dinh Luat has given the green light, now everything depends on the SLNA leadership./.
