Excited and eager to face the 'old home' SLNA

Dinh Bac scored his first goal in the 2023-2024 season at the National Cup.

Dinh Bac used to be one of the lucky boys who passed the entrance gate to SLNA Football Academy - the dream of many "country kids", but then his slow physical development forced him to go home to study culture for 2 years.

But the strong desire to play football made the boy born in 2004, after 2 years of studying culture, convince his family to let him carry his backpack all the way to Tam Ky to learn football.

At this time, Dinh Bac has suddenly grown into one of the most potential young talents of Vietnamese football. Shining with the title of "Best Player of the 2023 First Division", Dinh Bac with 8 goals has contributed to helping his second home, Quang Nam Club, return to the V-League arena.

Dinh Bac scored his first goal for the Vietnamese team at the age of 19.

At noon on November 30, Quang Nam Club took the train from Tam Ky City to Vinh Station to prepare for the one-on-one match with SLNA Club - their opponent in this year's relegation battle.

For Dinh Bac personally, it was a special day of return. In fact, last season , 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 a penalty shootout.

But this season, facing the "old home" SLNA in the V-League arena will bring much more special emotions. Perhaps, a lot of SLNA fans will go to Vinh stadium (the previous match against Dong Thap Club in the preliminary round of the National Cup had only... 10 fans), besides supporting the young players of coach Phan Nhu Thuat, also to witness how the rough diamond Dinh Bac of the past "fights" today.

Coach Troussier is giving many opportunities to Dinh Bac.

In the previous round, Dinh Bac was absent from the registration list when Quang Nam Club lost 0-1 to Khanh Hoa at Tam Ky Stadium due to an injury that had not yet healed.

At this point, when he is completely healthy, Dinh Bac ( born in 2004) is very eager to step onto Vinh field to compete, to prove his ability in the competition with opponents who are old friends on the home team SLNA.

We can name central defender Le Nguyen Hoang (2005), along with other names such as Nguyen Van Bach (2003), Dinh Xuan Tien (2003), Truong Thanh Nam (2004), Phan Xuan Dai (2003)... who are members of the new, young and ambitious SLNA.

Vinh Stadium will have a special match, when SLNA faces his former student Dinh Bac.

This second time back, Dinh Bac is no longer the little-known young man like last season, but is now a young player scoring for the national team in the 2026 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 to become more mature, he must learn a lot from his teammates as well as opponents, and also from emotional matches like the one with SLNA at Vinh Stadium on December 2.
