Striker Nguyen Tien Linh left Becamex Binh Duong after the 2024/25 season. |
The day Tien Linh appeared in Go Dau and Binh Duong at that time was still a force in V.League when owning monuments like Anh Duc, Tan Tai and Moses. At that time, Tien Linh was just a skinny boy, bright eyes and a longing heart. He grew up with the expectations of a football platform that was looking for a native “number 9” and Linh did not betray that belief.
From the first goals full of surprise, until becoming the main striker, Tien Linh made a deep impression on the history of the team with brave heads, delicate shots, and especially the fighting spirit that never gave up.
Tien Linh and Binh Duong overcome the most difficult stages of the team. And at the same time, the whole team experienced the glory peaks, the choking moments that the 2018 National Cup championship is one of the most dazzling lipstick marks.
But more than the titles, what the fans remember most in the striker born in 1997 is probably the image of a player who always devoted himself, not afraid to collide and always keep a professional style. He is a symbol of perseverance, a homegrown product that Binh Duong football is proud to produce.
Therefore, the departure this time is a difficult decision, but it is also an indispensable step. For a player at the peak of his career, finding new challenges is essential to continue developing himself.
Despite being a top striker of Binh Duong, in recent seasons, the team is no longer able to compete for big titles. This may have urged Tien Linh to search for a new stop, where he could nurture the desire to conquer new heights and the more ambitious team.
The adventure of a striker
When Tien Linh left, a series of questions were raised: Where was your next stop? Can you continue to maintain its peak style?
Although the dream of winning the V.League and Binh Duong is still unfinished, Nguyen Tien Linh – at the age of 28, is still at the peak of his form and full of desire to conquer. With the asserted talent, he is expected to continue to shine at the new stop, bringing pride to Vietnamese football fans. Tien Linh's journey at Becamex Ho Chi Minh City may have been closed, but the new door promises to open up opportunities for him to write his brilliant story.
The prospect of Tien Linh is great. He is still the leading striker of Vietnamese football, with the ability to hunt sharp goals, good bodybuilding and especially experienced international competition. Regardless of any team that has ambition, believe that Tien Linh will immediately become an important piece.

Nguyen Tien Linh will face many difficulties in the new stop. |
Leaving Go Dau, Tien Linh will definitely be played in a more competitive environment, side by side with quality players, thereby improving the level and perfecting herself. This is an opportunity for him to refresh himself, escape from the “safe area” that is so familiar in Binh Duong to be able to conquer the noble titles that he lacks.
However, the road ahead does not spread roses. The biggest challenge for Tien Linh is to adapt. He was familiar with the gameplay in Binh Duong, familiar with the absolute trust of the coaching and teammates. When he came to a new club, he would have to compete with the fierce stone, learn and get used to a completely different tactic.
The pressure from having to prove themselves, especially when receiving great expectations from the new team, will also be a psychological burden. In addition, injuries or forms are always concern for any player.
Anyway, the decision to break up with Becamex Binh Duong of Tien Linh is an important turning point, a promising adventure but also has many potential difficulties. Hopefully, with his talent and bravery, the owner of the 'Vietnam Golden Ball 2024' will continue to shine, conquer new heights and become one of the greatest strikers of Vietnamese football.
Binh Duong fans may regret, but will surely watch and hope Tien Linh will succeed on a new journey. Because wherever he goes, he is still the pride of the Go Dau team.
