On the pitch, whether there are 4 or 5 defenders, Dinh Trong always knows how to deal with the situation. A disadvantage of physical strength makes him have to boost and use up his ability and mind.

He takes action, appears surprisingly, and stops the goals only when learning through about the opponents, the ball and everything.

Facing such tight one, Dinh Trong keeps using his ability in reading the game to choose a perfect fall spot for the ball making the rival having no hope in touching it.

Defender Thanh Chung once shared about his extraordinary team-mate: “Dinh Trong has a great influence. Without Dinh Trong, other players would be un-concentrated and neglected. But if he shows on the field, the team stays calm, while he keeps screaming, reminding team-mates. Otherwise, he also good at supporting the team.”

His talents was arise very soon. Since the day joining Ha Noi youth team, he satisfies the fastidious Coach Pham Minh Duc: “For me, he is the best defender of Vietnam at this time. He owns an extraordinary range of knowledge, always foresees the happenings, and gives the decision quickly and precisely.

He not only can covers the team but also can dispute, play long ball so well. He also can push through powerfully but still incisively.”

He made appearances as a first fiddle in the team-sheet from the U20 World Cup triumph to a 2018 victory in China, ASIAD, and AFF Cup.
