Talented goalkeeper
At the age of 8, Anh Tu showed his talent for football when he played as a striker with his brothers on the field in his hometown. One time when the team was short of players, Tu was assigned to be the goalkeeper. Seeing Tu's good ball-catching ability, many people enthusiastically guided and trained him so that he could become a good goalkeeper.
At the age of 11, Tu and the Neighborhood 1 football team participated in the Children's Football Tournament of Ward 2, Quang Tri town and won the runner-up prize. After the success of this tournament, Tu had more motivation and confidence to develop his talent from the goalkeeper position.
During his school years, Anh Tu always showed the qualities of a good goalkeeper when he was in the official lineup of the class, school and local football teams. Notably, when he was in grade 12, Anh Tu wore the Quang Tri Town Football Team shirt to participate in the Quang Tri Province Men's Football Tournament and won the runner-up position. "N
In 2006, I passed the entrance exam to Da Nang University of Sports and Physical Education, majoring in football. Although the dream of becoming a professional football player at that time was very difficult and had almost no chance, I knew that receiving specialized football training at this university would open up many opportunities for me to develop my passion. From here, I also have a future orientation to try to contribute to grassroots sports", Anh Tu said.
In a professional training environment, Anh Tu was equipped with in-depth knowledge of football and other sports. In addition, he also participated in many student football tournaments and amateur football tournaments in Da Nang City. Day by day, Tu has increasingly affirmed himself as a good goalkeeper when playing football with a modern mindset, possessing flexible hands, quick reflexes, effective in each ball catching phase, playing football well with both feet...
For Tu, what he aims for in every football match is a dedicated and beautiful style of play. Therefore, Tu always tries to maintain a stable performance, to be a reliable stopper for the team with many classy saves or to directly launch quick attacks from home, creating favorable passes for teammates to score beautiful goals...
The Quang Tri student has created his own image with his elegant, sophisticated and highly effective football playing style, contributing to his teammates' conquest of many prestigious cups.

With that impressive background, Ho Anh Tu confidently returned to Quang Tri to participate in many large-scale football tournaments. Whenever he received an invitation, Tu immediately accepted, whether it was a big or small tournament, because he simply wanted to satisfy his passion and desire to contribute, bringing viewers eye-catching matches.

This position is only mentioned a lot when there are saves or mistakes, so you have to know how to lift your spirits at the right time to keep the goal, and at the same time know how to inspire your teammates to play well. That is probably also the way for me to always maintain my form, conquer countless big and small titles with my teammates, and from there have joys.”
