Phan Van Duc: 'No star can plough a lonely furrow’

V-League 2020 has gone through 5 rounds with a surprise named Song Lam Nghe An. Coach Ngo Quang Truong's team slipped on the top of the table with 11 points. With a young squad, SLNA is showing a tight play in defense but is also very effective in attacking.

An important factor in this game of Nghe football team is Phan Van Duc. The SLNA midfielder 20 has contributed 2/3 of SLNA's goals this season and is the best player in recent rounds. It is no exaggeration to say that Phan Van Duc's performance is 50% of the strength of the Nghe team.

However, the midfielder of Vietnam said that he contributed only a very small part to the success of SLNA. Sharing with the media, Phan Van Duc said:

"I'm also just a part of the SLNA team. In the world there is no star that can plough a lonely furrow, let alone I'm just a player like many other players. Of course, people have expectations of me, I have to try my best. "

Phan Van Duc also said that he and his teammates still cannot believe that SLNA is leading in V-League 2020:

"Probably not many people dare to believe that SLNA will be the top after 5 rounds. In fact, sometimes I myself do not believe anymore, what to say to others. However, it is the result that deserves us. SLNA players know themselves. You know us, we have the right tactics, we fight for the color of the Lam river.

With young players, I'm not surprised by that progress. When I was a little boy, I also fought when I was in the yard. That's how to express yourself and how to help you find a foothold. "

On the afternoon of June 23, Phan Van Duc and his teammates at SLNA will welcome the HCMC club at home. This is expected to be a difficult match not less than a trip away on the pitch of Hanoi FC.
