(Baonghean.vn) - Due to not finding a sponsor for the 2020 season, the Nghe An team had to sadly watch its pillars leave Vinh Stadium one by one to seek challenges at new destinations.

Chairman Nguyen Hong Thanh once shared: “To have a good team, you need quality people. SLNA advocates keeping players whose contracts are about to expire, but when negotiating with them, there is no funding, so it is difficult to get the players to follow their wishes. If SLNA had strong and stable finances, things would be very different, without having to worry about playing and keeping players at the same time.

We cannot compete with the big financial giants. They offer very high signing bonuses to players. It is true that the difficult situation makes the wise choose. I know some players still want to stay and contribute to their hometown team, but because of the need to make a living, they have to leave. That is the rule that poor teams like us have to accept."

Coach Nguyen Duc Thang admitted: “After each season, SLNA always faces personnel problems. Many players will expire after the end of V.League 2019. I affirm that any SLNA player wants to stay and contribute to their homeland. Even if they have little money, they still want to stay. They only leave when they cannot reach an agreement.”

A few days ago, center-back Memovic officially became a member of HAGL. In this year's season, the player born in 1989 is one of the most outstanding players of the Vinh team. SLNA's achievement of conceding the fewest goals in V.League 2019 (26 goals) is largely due to the center-back wearing the number 4 shirt.

Although they really wanted to keep Memovic and Memovic himself wanted to continue playing at Vinh Stadium, SLNA could not do anything more with the position of "a man without money". Without money, how could the Nghe An team rely on to negotiate a contract with the Serbian central defender? Therefore, taking this opportunity, HAGL approached and reached an agreement with Memovic.

Certainly, Memovic is not the only mainstay who will leave Vinh Stadium after the 2019 season. Most likely in the next 1-2 weeks, Ho Khac Ngoc, Tran Nguyen Manh, Tran Dinh Hoang, Vo Ngoc Toan... will also announce their new destinations. Even coach Nguyen Duc Thang does not know his future yet.

In the 2020 season, SLNA will have to face a difficult problem regarding its personnel. A series of key players have left, while the next generation is inexperienced. In order to supplement personnel (both domestic and foreign players), the Nghe An team needs to quickly find a new sponsor. Otherwise, SLNA will continue to "step on the same old footsteps" as in previous seasons.

If we keep "eating each meal at a time" like this, when will the Vinh stadium team stop being "the slow buffalo in troubled water"?
