Coach Duc Thang: ‘There are many players like Dinh Trong, not Quang Hai’

Coach Nguyen Duc Thang is currently leading Binh Dinh club with the ambition to promote this team to and attend the V-League. Prior to coming to the first division, he had participated in Hanoi's youth training. Names like Dinh Trong, Quang Hai and Duy Manh have been coached by Nguyen Duc Thang.

Working with these stars from a young age, Mr. Thang knows very well the strengths and weaknesses of each player. Recently, the former coach of Thanh Hoa has commented on Dinh Trong and Quang Hai, the most noticeable names at the moment:

"A good defender needs 4 elements: good sense, height, composure and physicality. Dinh Trong is only judgmental, he lacks height, normal speed and fitness is improving. Judgment helps Dinh Trong to head well.

In the future, if there is a better quality training for young people with good coaches, there will be more Dinh Trong in the right direction. New players like Quang Hai are rare. I repeat, youth training is still the most important.," shared with Zing

Quang Hai has received mixed reviews. There are experts who think that Quang Hai does not deserve this title and is showing signs of decline in professional quality.

Meanwhile Dinh Trong’s ability is enough to show the level of this center-back. In fact, Dinh Trong is always a reliable pillar in the national team of Vietnam and Park Hang-seo.

At this time, Dinh Trong is still in the process of recovering from injuries while Quang Hai has fought with his teammates and overcame Dong Thap in the 2020 National Cup.
