What future awaits the former SLNA and U19 Vietnam striker?
(Baonghean.vn) - At the end of the 2020 season, the contract between Nguyen Viet Nguyen and Hai Phong officially expired. Currently, the player born in 1995 still does not know where his next destination will be in the near future.
Being a product of SLNA training center, in the same generation as Hoang Van Khanh, Ho Tuan Tai... however, Nguyen Viet Nguyen's career path was not as smooth as the two faces mentioned above. Due to not being able to compete for a position with his teammates, the 25-year-old striker had to "wear out his pants" on the bench.
According to statistics, in 3 seasons wearing the shirtSLNA(2016 - 2018), the Vinh City player only played 10 matches, with a duration of 169 minutes and did not score a single goal in the V.League arena. Therefore, at the beginning of the 2018 season, Nguyen Viet Nguyen had to leave SLNA to terminate his contract.

It was thought that joining Hai Phong would give Nguyen Viet Nguyen many opportunities to show his talent, especially in the Hai Phong team with many faces from Nghe An. Unfortunately, all that Nguyen Viet Nguyen did at Lach Tray Stadium could be summed up in two words: Disappointment.
The statistics don't lie: in 2 seasons at Hai Phong, Nguyen Viet Nguyen played a total of 4 matches, with a duration of 71 minutes and scored 1 goal. This is an extremely disappointing achievement for the player born in Vinh city. Don't forget in the past,Nguyen Viet Nguyenwas summonedU19 Vietnam(2014).

Not being able to play regularly will make it very difficult for Nguyen Viet Nguyen to find a new destination. Most likely, the former SLNA and Hai Phong striker will have to wait for opportunities from teams playing in the First Division, a tournament that does not allow foreign players. With an ideal physique (1m81 tall, 75kg), Nguyen Viet Nguyen will be the favorite choice of many teams.
Nguyen Viet Nguyen shared: "Currently, I have left Hai Phong and do not know which team I will play for in the 2021 season. For now, I will rest and spend more time with my family. Hopefully, luck and success will not continue to turn away from me"./.
