Despite competing in three fronts: V.League, National Cup and AFC Cup 2018, Song Lam Nghe An only chose one more foreign player to pair with striker Olaha Michael in the attack. Due to unfavorable weather, the foreign players had to wait until January 31 to come to Vinh Stadium for a trial.
Among the foreign players coming to SLNA for trial this time, there are 2 from Nigeria, 1 from Sweden and their identities have not been revealed by the Nghe An team. However, in the training session, the 2 foreign strikers from Africa are taking the advantage. One player has quite good finishing ability and the other has the ability to support the attack more effectively.

Also in this training session, defender Tran Dinh Hoang returned to normal training with his teammates, although the right-back's running steps have not yet regained their original elegance. Another case is suffering from a minor foot injury, central defender Pham Manh Hung, the player born in 1993 can only warm up and practice lightly outside the pitch.
Witnessing the performance of these strikers, coach Nguyen Duc Thang can rest assured and the issue of finalizing foreign players will soon be implemented as planned.
At the AFC Cup 2018, SLNA is in Group H with Tampines Rovers (Singapore), Persija Jakarta (Indonesia) and Johor Darul Ta'zim (Malaysia). In the opening match, the Nghe An team will face Tampines Rovers (Singapore) away on February 10.
Coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team are expected to leave for Singapore to participate in the AFC Cup on the night of February 7. Because they still have to ensure the selection of foreign players and the preparation plan for the V.League, SLNA's delegation will only have 18 people, including the head of the delegation./.
