OFFICIAL: European midfielder bids farewell to Xuân Son

The Steel Blue Nam Định Club officially parts ways with Norwegian midfielder Kristoffer Normann Hansen after a short period together, ending his participation primarily in cup tournaments.

The Steel Blue Nam Định Club formally says goodbye to Norwegian midfielder Kristoffer Normann Hansen, closing a short tenure yet leaving noticeable marks by the 1994-born player at Thiên Trường stadium.

On their official page, the Nam Định team posted a brief but respectful message: “Thank you for Normann Hansen’s contributions during his time here. Wishing him success in his future endeavors!”. This statement signals that both parties will not continue their partnership as the season enters its crucial phase.

Joining Steel Blue Nam Định with expectations to enhance quality and experience in midfield, Normann Hansen was mainly fielded in cup competitions, including the AFC Champions League Two and the ASEAN Club Championship. Wearing the club’s jersey, the Norwegian midfielder appeared in 7 matches, scoring 1 goal and providing 2 assists. Although his playing time was limited and he didn’t get the chance to showcase himself in the V-League, Hansen demonstrated tactical awareness, clean ball control, and international match experience.

Normann Hansen’s departure from Nam Định is considered a strategic decision by the club amid squad adjustments aimed at long-term goals. Steel Blue Nam Định currently prioritizes personnel stability while creating conditions for domestic and foreign players to better fit the club’s playing philosophy and meet the professional requirements of the national league.

Kristoffer Normann Hansen, born in 1994, belongs to the senior generation of famous Norwegian football stars like Martin Odegaard and Erling Haaland. Before coming to Vietnam, he played in Europe and gained experience in various football environments. This background helped Hansen quickly adapt both on and off the field, despite his short tenure with Steel Blue Nam Định.

Leaving the Nam Định team, Normann Hansen is expected to soon find a suitable new club to continue his playing career. From Steel Blue Nam Định’s side, the gratitude and best wishes extended to the Norwegian player reflect professionalism and respect, closing a brief but noteworthy chapter in the club’s development journey.
