Tuan Anh faces his old teammate Le Pham Thanh Long on the Thanh Hoa Club side.
Belonging to the first class of HAGL JMG Arsenal academy, but Le Pham Thanh Long had a much more difficult time than Cong Phuong, Tuan Anh, Xuan Truong, Van Thanh, Van Toan... known nationwide from the U.19 Vietnam team and later the U.23 Vietnam team, the Vietnam national team...
Only 1m65 tall, but Jackie Chan is a man with great will. Only then, he was able to persevere in pursuing his career with football, regardless of the very difficult and bumpy start, when in the same situation, many teammates gave up or gave up.
When his peers were promoted by Mr. Duc to play in the 2015 V-League, Le Pham Thanh Long's place was not too far from Gia Lai, but it was a world apart, like heaven and earth, when he was loaned to Phu Yen team in the second division.
However, the difficulties did not discourage the young man from Cho Chua town, Nghia Hanh district, Quang Ngai province. "At least, I still get to play instead of sitting on the bench. As long as I can play, I still have the opportunity to learn and develop," Long told himself.
Jackie Chan is helping Thanh Hoa Club fly high
From Phu Yen in the second division, then Dak Lak Club in the first division, fate brought Le Pham Thanh Long to V-League, with Long An Club struggling in the relegation spiral.
Everything did not come by chance. The good performance in Dak Lak made a good impression on coach Minh Phuong, helping Thanh Long have the opportunity to debut in the highest level of Vietnam.
Admittedly, although always creating controversy, everyone acknowledges that manager Tran Manh Hung (alias Hung "kingfish") always has a very "unique" eye, discovering buried rough gems and polishing them into stars, with the clearest examples being Dang Van Lam and now Thanh Long.
It was Hai Phong Club that became the launching pad for this young man to shine in V-League 2018, and was called by coach Park Hang-seo to join the Vietnam Olympic team to prepare for ASIAD 2018.
Le Pham Thanh Long is likely to join the Vietnam national team from June 7.
Although he could not be on the list to go to Indonesia, Jackie Chan's ability began to be highly appreciated by experts, leading to Mr. De successfully buying back his contract from HAGL.
The transition from boss De to boss Doan created many changes, but Jackie Chan only played better. In particular, the days working with "godfather" Petrovic helped him improve his weaknesses in strength, endurance and fighting ability!
Thanks to that, Jackie Chan quickly caught the eye of coach Popov, who immediately positioned him as the heart of the game, in the role of an anchor protecting the central defenders and also the source of attack.

Coach Popov is writing wonderful days for Thanh Hoa football, when the team has defeated one opponent after another, including big names such as Binh Dinh Club, Viettel, Ha Tinh...
Those were also great days for Le Pham Thanh Long, who was very prominent in the role of an all-round midfielder, mobile in both attack and defense.
At 5pm tomorrow, June 1, Thanh Hoa Club will travel to Binh Duong Stadium, where Thanh Long and his teammates will feel like they are playing at home thanks to the large number of Thanh Hoa fans here.

There will be an opportunity for Le Pham Thanh Long and Thanh Hoa Club to extend their record as the only remaining undefeated team, even looking for a victory to solidify their top position in V-League 2023, especially when there is information that coach Philippe Troussier has "marked" him for the FIFA Days training session from June 7.
