In addition to his excellent performances on the field, Ngoc Tan is also receiving a lot of love from fans. Recently, fans have given him a new nickname, Tan "huh". This nickname originated from a humorous moment in an interview after the match with the Philippines team, when he did not hear the question clearly and had an interesting "huh" expression to ask the reporter to repeat it.

Slow and steady

The midfielder born in 1993 from Son Tay, Hanoi , is a living proof of the saying: "Slow but steady." Although his football career started later than many of his colleagues, Tan's talent and efforts have helped him achieve great successes that not everyone can do.

Entering the U.15 The Cong team at a young age, Ngoc Tan soon revealed his passion for football. However, his career was not a bed of roses. When Mr. Kien's Hanoi Football Club dissolved in 2012-2013, he was forced to temporarily stop his career and return to his hometown. It was a difficult time when he had to do many manual labor jobs such as shoveling sand and carrying bricks to support his family. But even in those difficult days, his passion for football never faded.

His efforts and determination were finally rewarded when he joined Thanh Hoa Club, playing in the V-League and gradually asserting himself as one of the league's best defensive midfielders.

Ngoc Tan's career peak came in 2024, when at the age of 32, he was called up to the national team for the first time to participate in the AFF Cup. Not only did he integrate quickly, he also became an important piece in coach Kim Sang-sik's tactical system, contributing to helping the Vietnamese team convincingly win the AFF Cup championship.
