During an online Q&A session at the VFF headquarters, coach Kim Sang-sik for the first time clarified his vision for Dinh Bac, emphasizing the young striker's potential and long-term development path.
Dinh Bac's success at the recent tournament not only helped him affirm his individual abilities but also opened up a new direction for his career. After the young striker won the top scorer title, coach Kim Sang-sik shared his frank and hopeful thoughts about his student's future. In particular, his statement clearly showed his desire for Dinh Bac to play abroad soon to develop more comprehensively.
"In Saudi Arabia, I had a private conversation with Dinh Bac and hoped he could win the MVP and top scorer titles of the tournament. Today, I really want to congratulate him on becoming the top scorer. Before that, I also had many discussions with him, always hoping that Dinh Bac could play abroad to develop further." – Coach Kim Sang-sik stated.
From the above statement, it's clear that the idea of Dinh Bac playing abroad wasn't a spur-of-the-moment thought. Even while the national team was competing in Saudi Arabia, Coach Kim Sang-sik proactively spoke with his player privately, clearly outlining his long-term path. He not only set short-term goals for titles but also looked further ahead to building a player with the confidence to compete at the highest level of football.
The top scorer title won by Dinh Bac is a well-deserved reward for his persistent efforts throughout the tournament. More importantly, this achievement is clear evidence of his potential for development in more demanding competitions. According to coach Kim Sang-sik, if he only played domestically, Dinh Bac could achieve consistency, but it would be easy for him to stagnate. Conversely, when playing abroad, this player will have to adapt to a higher intensity, more diverse tactics, and fiercer competitive pressure.
From a professional perspective, playing abroad helps young players like Dinh Bac improve their footballing mindset, enhance their physical fitness, and hone their character. In foreign leagues, every move requires speed, accuracy, and good situational awareness. These are essential elements if they want to reach continental level. Therefore, Coach Kim Sang-sik's direction is perfectly aligned with the development trend of Vietnamese football during this integration period.
In reality, many Vietnamese players who have played abroad have accumulated valuable experience. Upon returning, they not only bring back skills but also a professional mindset, contributing to raising the level of the national team. For Dinh Bac, if he has the opportunity to play abroad at the right time and in the right environment, he could absolutely go much further than he has now.
The clear support from coach Kim Sang-sik is a crucial foundation for Dinh Bac on his journey ahead. It's not just encouragement; it's the trust a coach places in the exceptional potential of a young player. In a context where Vietnamese football needs players who dare to break out of their comfort zone, Dinh Bac is expected to be a pioneer.
If his overseas move is successful, Dinh Bac's future could open a new chapter. He is not only the hope of the club, but also a role model for the younger generation of Vietnamese players who dare to dream big, dare to go far, and dare to face challenges.
