HÀ NỘI — In preparation for the second leg of the V.League, HCM City FC have roped in naturalised player Đặng Văn Robert.
Robert, who is originally a Slovakian, is a multi-faceted player who can play in various positions – forward, midfielder and wing defender.
Robert, who competed for Hải Phòng, Thanh Hóa in the past, is now a member of former champions Becamex Bình Dương but could not find a regular berth in their first team. He will not extend his contract with Becamex which will end this year.
He will play for the new team from June 二 四 onwards.
Robert, 三 二, and HCM City acting president Lê Công Vinh were tea妹妹ates, before Vinh retired last year.
After eight rounds in V.League, HCM City are at the fifth spot with 一 三 points. They will play former champions SHB Đà Nẵng this weekend. — VNS
