" I'm married and want to play near home. I don't know how to answer, " Dang Van Lam answered the question about why he left V.League and played in the 2024-2025 National First Division and asked not to say more about this issue.
Dang Van Lam joined Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club with a contract fee of 6.8 billion VND/year. The contract lasts for 4 years, so the total fee is 27.2 billion VND (about 1.1 million USD).
Van Lam is the fourth Vietnamese football player to receive this amount of money in a short period of time. However, just one month later, he moved to Phu Dong Ninh Binh Football Club, a team also competing in the 2024/2025 National First Division.
Dang Van Lam plays for Ninh Binh Club.
Dang Van Lam said he did not take much time to think when he received the offer from the Northern team. Phu Dong Ninh Binh Club's goal is to win the First Division championship and gain promotion to V.League 2025/2026. Van Lam revealed that he has not watched many matches in V.League 2 but believes that the coaching staff will have appropriate calculations to achieve the goal.
On a personal level, fans expressed concern that Dang Van Lam playing in the First Division would affect his professional performance. The 1993-born goalkeeper is at risk of losing his form and not being able to keep his place in the Vietnam national team.
Dang Van Lam and Hoang Duc joined Phu Dong Ninh Binh Club.
Van Lam commented: " I just returned from the national team so I will try to integrate with the whole team. There are many teammates here who have played with me so it probably won't take me long to get used to everything. I always believe in myself. As a professional player, I have to try my best in training and competing to maintain my form. Whether or not I can be called up to the national team is the head coach's decision ."
In the first match of the new season, Phu Dong Ninh Binh will face Ho Chi Minh City in the 2024/2025 National Cup. After that, coach Nguyen Viet Thang and his team will meet Khanh Hoa in the First Division.
