“I just shaved my head a few days ago, actually in some matches, I was unlucky and also played below my ability. I wanted to do something different to change my luck. At first, many teammates were surprised and laughed, but then I got used to it,” center-back Nguyen Thanh Long shared with Lao Dong.
Before the match between Hanoi Police Club and Thanh Hoa took place (September 20), many people were surprised when Thanh Long suddenly “cut his hair”. This handsome player was born in Hanoi, famous for his stylish style. But Long “shrimp” decided to “give up” his beauty.
Indeed, after shaving his head, Thanh Long had a very successful match. In the absence of a foreign central defender, the player born in 1993 became the biggest hope in Thanh Hoa's defense. Next to him was Dinh Viet Tu - a left-back.
Thanh Long played very impressively, he calmly neutralized dangerous attacks from the Hanoi Police Club. Even in aerial ball disputes, Thanh Long was not inferior to the opposing foreign players.
Foreign player Yago Ramos was the one who scored the only goal to bring 3 points for Thanh Hoa, but Thanh Long and teammate Xuan Hoang played outstandingly.
After this match, Thanh Hoa will travel to Malaysia to visit Terengganu in the 2024-2025 Southeast Asian Club Cup. Center back Thanh Long hopes to maintain his form and help Thanh Hoa gain more victories.
