(Baonghean.vn) - After scoring a brace against B.Binh Duong in the second leg of the 2017 National Cup Final, especially after his impressive performances in recent times, Phan Van Duc is expected to continue to explode in the rematch with his opponent at Vinh Stadium tomorrow afternoon (5:00 p.m., April 20).

Thanks to that excellent performance, Van Duc and Xuan Manh were called up to the national team by coach Park Hang Seo. This duo overcame their pride because of the wild card to make a great contribution to help U23 Vietnam create a miracle at the recent U23 Asian Cup.
Upon returning to SLNA, "Duc cot" quickly overcame the pressure, leaving behind the praise to continue affirming the qualities and talent of a professional player.
The player from Yen Thanh has continuously matured with his dedicated playing style, strong acceleration, technical, neat, decisive ball handling, smart positioning and running… Except for the missed shots and unlucky finishing, it seems that people have not found any weaknesses from this “U23 star”.
And it would not be too much to say that Phan Van Duc is the brightest star in SLNA's shirt. Because, although playing in the midfielder position, this player is the best and most effective striker of SLNA with 5 goals on all fronts. In which, he is together with Le Hoang Thien of Saigon Club to become the best domestic striker of V-League with 3 successful "shots" after 5 rounds.
Interestingly, since "Duc cot" scored, SLNA has had a streak of 3 consecutive unbeaten matches (won Johor Darul Ta'zim with a score of 2-1, defeated TP HCM with a score of 2-0 and tied XSKT. Can Tho in a match with 6 goals).
It is known that the success of a team is due to the collective cohesion, the success of the strikers largely comes from the "supply of ammunition" of their teammates. Khac Ngoc is the "soul" of the team, Xuan Manh is playing with great effort, Que Ngoc Hai is also doing a good job as a leader. However, with what has been shown, it will not be surprising that SLNA's greatest hope this season is placed on Phan Van Duc's shoulders.
And it is no surprise that in the match against B. Binh Duong tomorrow afternoon, it is not striker Olaha or Ho Tuan Tai but Phan Van Duc who is the player that fans expect the most.
Currently, the army of the land of Thu is in a situation like a “headless snake” when head coach Tran Minh Chien and assistant Ngoc Linh are banned from coaching. That will be the best opportunity for “Duc cot” to recreate the explosive image like in the 2017 National Cup final./.
