(Baonghean.vn) - This year's season has officially ended for coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team. Here are some notable numbers of the Nghe team in V.League 2019.
0 – SLNA is one of the teams participating in V.League 2019 without any naturalized players in the squad.According to VPF regulations, each team participating in V.League 2019 is allowed to register a maximum of 3 foreign players and 1 naturalized player (except for the 2 teams participating in AFC Cup 2019, Hanoi Club and B.Binh Duong Club).
1 – The number of matches Phan Van Duc played in V.League 2019.The Yen Thanh player was present in the match between SLNA and Quang Nam in round 1, but was injured and had to sit out for the entire time. It is expected that Phan Van Duc will return to the field at the beginning of next season.

3 – The number of away wins of coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team in V.League 2019. The “victims” of the Nghe An team were SHB Da Nang (0-2), Sanna Khanh Hoa (1-4) and B.Binh Duong (1-5). A rather modest achievement for Tran Nguyen Manh and his teammates.
4 – The total number of foreign players playing for SLNA in V.League 2019.In addition to the “old man” Olaha, there are also Memovic, Alves dos Santos and Vinicius. Because Alves dos Santos did not prove much in the first leg, the SLNA Board of Directors borrowed Vinicius from Ho Chi Minh City Club to supplement for the second leg.
5 – The number of times coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team won 3 points at Vinh Stadium in V.League 2019.The losers at the "Thanh Vinh fire pan" are Quang Nam, B.Binh Duong, HAGL, Thanh Hoa and Viettel.

7 – The final position of the Nghe An team at V.League 2019.Compared to last season, SLNA is 3 places lower (in V.League 2018, SLNA finished in 4th place). However, this is an acceptable achievement for the Vinh home team in the situation where a series of players are injured, typically Phan Van Duc.
10 – The number of SLNA players who scored in V.League 2019.Leading the way are Ho Tuan Tai (8 goals), Olaha (5 goals), Vinicius (5 goals), Ho Khac Ngoc (4 goals), Nguyen Quang Tinh (3 goals), Ho Phuc Tinh (2 goals), Vo Ngoc Toan, Pham Xuan Manh, Cao Xuan Thang, Memovic (1 goal each).
16 – The total number of SLNA players who received cards in V.League 2019.Of which, 4 players Memovic, Hoang Van Khanh, Tran Dinh Hoang and Ho Khac Ngoc were given the most yellow cards by the referee (4 cards).

26 – The number of times Tran Nguyen Manh and Tran Van Tien had to pick the ball out of the net.With a rate of conceding 1 goal/match, SLNA is the team with the most solid defense in V.League 2019. Obviously, the departure of Que Ngoc Hai does not affect the defense ability of the Vinh home team much.
32 – Total number of goals scored by SLNA in V.League 2019. The achievement of Ho Tuan Tai and his teammates is only 1 goal more than the relegated team Sanna Khanh Hoa and 28 goals less than the defending champion - Hanoi Club.
35 – The number of points that coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team won after 26 rounds.The specific results are as follows: SLNA has 8 wins, 11 draws and 7 losses. Compared to last season, the performance of the Nghe An team is much worse. In V.League 2018, SLNA won 42 points (12 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses)./.
