Before the match SLNA - Binh Dinh: A 'golden' opportunity for Ho Phuc Tinh
(Baonghean.vn) - Because the opponent Binh Dinh is playing in the First Division, SLNA is not allowed to use foreign players for the upcoming match between the two teams in the preliminary round of the 2020 National Cup, taking place on the afternoon of May 24. This is a great opportunity for reserve players, typically striker Ho Phuc Tinh.
In the first 2 matches of V.League 2020, Ho Phuc Tinh only played for 2 minutes. With coach Ngo Quang Truong prioritizing the use of the foreign striker duo Peter Onyekachi - Alagie Sosseh, the player wearing the number 18 shirt had to "wear out his pants" on the bench.
However, in the upcoming match of SLNA (against Binh Dinh), it is almost certain that Ho Phuc Tinh will be in the starting lineup to pair with Ho Tuan Tai in the home team's attack. A rare opportunity for the striker who won the title of Top Scorer at the 2014 National U21 Finals to demonstrate his ability.

It was thought that at the end of last season, after scoring a double against Quang Nam in the final round of V.League 2019, Ho Phuc Tinh would say goodbye to Vinh Stadium, in order to find opportunities at a new team. Hai Phong was the team that most wanted to own Ho Phuc Tinh's signature. However, the player from Quynh Luu decided to continue to stick with his hometown team, despite the fact that the chance of being a starter was quite slim.
In the recent practice match between SLNA team 1 and SLNA U19, Ho Phuc Tinh scored both goals, helping Hoang Van Khanh and his teammates overcome their juniors with a score of 2 - 1. Ho Phuc Tinh's performance in that match was not really impressive, but it is worth the fans' hope for this striker to shine in the upcoming match with Binh Dinh.
