From playing in V-League, Xuan Truong surprised fans when he joined Truong Tuoi Dong Nai Club. However, the representative of the Southeast region is the place where he reunited with his old teammates of HAGL such as Cong Phuong, Minh Vuong, Van Son or Huu Tuan,...

"I am very happy to be back, playing football with my brothers who have been with me since childhood. The season is about to start, making me even more excited and looking forward to going out on the field to fight" - Xuan Truong expressed his feelings.

However, this reunion is also a pressure for the former HAGL midfielder, Xuan Truong expressed: "The feeling of everything being familiar but with that comes expectations from the audience, at the same time creating pressure. I hope the harmony between us, who have been together for a long time, will help the team have many advantages in the matches."

This year, Truong Tuoi Dong Nai Club has had many changes when changing most of the force and the coaching staff.

When asked about the team's playing style being built by new coach Nguyen Viet Thang, Xuan Truong happily explained: "The most important thing we were asked to change is discipline in defense. In particular, after losing the ball, quickly switching to defense to win the ball back is the top priority. Previously, many players did not have this habit, but after the training process, I feel that the team has improved a lot."

The move from V-League to First Division is always considered by fans and experts as a step backward.

Faced with these views, Xuan Truong has his own determination: "In my opinion, that is just an outside perspective. In reality, the daily training intensity is very high. In recent friendly matches with First Division clubs, I do not see much difference, but we have to wait until the tournament officially starts to feel it more clearly."

This season, the First Division has the participation of many foreign players, according to Xuan Truong, this will be a factor that helps improve quality.

"The tournament will definitely be more exciting. Most teams use foreign players as strikers, which puts the domestic defense in a lot of trouble, and the scoring rate is also higher," Truong shared.

Talking about the championship and promotion goals of Truong Tuoi Dong Nai, this midfielder admitted that it is a big challenge: "There is no easy season. Through friendly matches, I see that as long as the team plays disciplined and has a solid defense, even strong attackers will find it difficult to score. This year, the teams are quite even, just one or two missteps can greatly affect the goal."
