" Many Cadiz players lingered when Hoang Vinh Nguyen arrived and were impressed by the new player's individual skills. Nguyen scored four goals on the training ground in a small-scale match, a tricky shot into the top corner. Nguyen said he was fine, but the question was what he would do the next day, " the Cadiz club wrote in a summary report of Hoang Vinh Nguyen's first day at the Spanish team.
After joining Cadiz Club, Hoang Vinh Nguyen wanted to quickly integrate into the new environment. He immediately joined the training with the Cadiz U18 team. The determination of the midfielder from Vietnam surprised the Cadiz coaches. They did exactly what the new player wanted.
Vinh Nguyen tries his hand at Cadiz FC.
After a day of training, the Ho Chi Minh City FC player and his assistant Bui Van Nam (a member of Ho Chi Minh City FC) returned to the apartment that had been arranged. After that, the midfielder started training with the Cadiz FC B team as scheduled.
It was not an easy challenge for the midfielder born in 2002. Although only a reserve team, Cadiz B team has a high standard compared to Vietnamese football. In fact, at Ho Chi Minh City Club, this player born in 2001 has not played a single match in the highest professional level, while the players of Cadiz B team are at a good level or higher in V-League.
Vinh Nguyen was welcomed into the Cadiz B team. Coach Alberto Cifuentes introduced him to all his students. At the same time, he disseminated the most necessary information so that Vinh Nguyen understood what he needed to do to follow the training sessions.
" After running and warm-up exercises with the ball, Nguyen played a phantom ball with his teammates. He received a strong pass in a difficult position, with a defender in front of him. This is a situation that would confuse even a skilled player, but Nguyen leaned over and needed exactly one touch to pass the ball. His confidence is second to none here ," commented Cadiz Club.
Also in the information sent to Vietnam, Cadiz coaches confirmed that Vinh Nguyen did well in his duties and did not cause the team's training sessions to be disrupted. Cadiz B team still ensured good competition and the challenge for Vinh Nguyen was increasing.
" Many Cadiz coaches thought that Vinh Nguyen would take a long time to adapt, but he surprised everyone. After 3 days of training, we assessed that Vinh Nguyen has good first-step ball handling ability, accurate short-range passing; his perseverance, effort and training awareness are all commendable, " the report stated.
Hoang Vinh Nguyen is a player selected to train at Cadiz Club under a cooperation program between this team and Ho Chi Minh City Club. The player who grew up at HAGL training center was on the list of U19 Vietnam 4 years ago. In March 2023, he was called up by coach Philippe Troussier to U23 Vietnam to prepare for the Doha Cup and SEA Games 32, but was eliminated later.
Hoang Vinh Nguyen is not yet a mainstay of Ho Chi Minh City FC, so sending this player to another team in a short time will not affect much the personnel plan of coach Vu Tien Thanh. In Cadiz, Hoang Vinh Nguyen will practice with Team B. If he performs well, he will have the opportunity to practice with the main team of this team.
