Dinh Bac used to be one of the lucky boys to pass the door to the SLNA Football Academy - the dream of many "hometown" children, but then his slow physical development forced him to return home to study culture. 2 years.
But the strong desire to play football made the boy born in 2004, after 2 years of cultural studies, persuade his family to allow him to carry a backpack alone and go to Tam Ky to learn football.
Then at this time, Dinh Bac was there flash has become one of the young talents with rich potential in Vietnamese football. Shining with the title of "Best Player of the First Division 2023", Dinh Bac with 8 goals contributed to helping the second home, Quang Nam Club, return to the V-League arena.
At noon on November 30.11, Quang Nam Club took the train from Tam Ky City to Vinh station to prepare for the duel with SLNA Club - an opponent in this year's relegation battle.
For Dinh Bac personally, it was a special return day. Reality is in season prize Last year, Dinh Bac returned to Vinh Stadium for the first time as an opponent, playing well to help Quang Nam Club, then still playing in the first division, draw 1-1 and eliminate SLNA in the National Cup after an 11m penalty shootout.
But this season, facing the "old home" SLNA in the V-League arena will bring a much more special feeling. Perhaps, a large number of SLNA fans will go to Vinh Stadium (the previous match against Dong Thap Club in the National Cup preliminary round had only... 10 fans), in addition to supporting coach Phan Nhu Thuat's young players, they will also witness the gem. How is Dinh Bac now "fighting and punching"?
In the previous round, Dinh Bac was absent from the registration list when Quang Nam Club lost 0-1 to rival Khanh Hoa at Tam Ky Stadium because his injury had not yet healed.
By this time, when he was completely healthy, Dinh Bac (born 2004) is very eager to step onto Vinh Stadium to compete, to prove his ability in competing with opponents who are old friends on the home team SLNA.
We can name midfielder Le Nguyen Hoang (2005), besides other names such as Nguyen Van Bach (2003), Dinh Xuan Tien (2003), Truong Thanh Nam (2004), Phan Xuan Grand (2003)… is a member of the new, young and aspirational SLNA.
This second return, Dinh Bac is no longer a little-known young man like last season, but is a young player who scored goals for the national team in the 2 World Cup qualifiers.
But one thing is for sure, his desire to play on the field is still intact, knowing that he has only taken the first short step in his young career.
Dinh Bac clearly understands that in order to grow stronger, he must learn a lot from his teammates and opponents, and also from emotional matches like with SLNA at Vinh Stadium on December 2.12.
