Vuong Quoc Trung - SLNA's 'Burnout Gamble'
(Baonghean.vn) - Throughout this season, the former midfielder from Hai Phong and Thanh Hoa has been a "redundant" at the Nghe An team. This is a huge waste of both money and expertise for SLNA in this deal.
Returning to Vinh Stadium as a free agent, after ending his contract with Thanh Hoa, Vuong Quoc Trung wasSLNA Board of Directorsgiven a contract until the end of the 2020 season. Unfortunately, the recent period with the midfielder born in 1990 was extremely forgettable.

According to statistics, in the 2020 season,Chinawas only on the field for 17 minutes. A very modest achievement compared to the level of the player who used to play for Hai Phong and Thanh Hoa. It is worth mentioning that Vuong Quoc Trung did not suffer any serious injuries.
Seeing SLNA go through a series of bad matches, the young midfielder duo Bui Dinh Chau - Dang Van Lam have not met expectations, Nghe An football fans have wondered: Why, coach Ngo Quang Truong did not give a chance to Vuong Quoc Trung? Because in terms of playing experience, Vuong Quoc Trung is much better than the two young teammates mentioned above.

However, coach Ngo Quang Truong and his colleagues continued to abandon Vuong Quoc Trung to put their trust in Bui Dinh Chau, Dang Van Lam, Ho Sy Sam and even Pham Xuan Manh. Only when SLNA successfully stayed in the league, Vuong Quoc Trung was able to put on his shoes in two formality matches against Thanh Hoa and Nam Dinh.
Therefore, with such a situation, if coach Ngo Quang Truong is still in charge next season, it is likely that Vuong Quoc Trung will be the one to leave. It seems that the midfielder born in 1990 has no luck with his hometown team. Don't forget that in the past (2013 - 2014), Vuong Quoc Trung did not even get to play a single minute in the V.League arena.
"Feeding" for nearly a year, but in return SLNA only used Vuong Quoc Trung for a total of 17 minutes in 2 "no reward, no penalty" matches. In terms of economics or pure expertise, the Nghe An team is the loser in the "gamble" of Vuong Quoc Trung./.
