| After having a new sponsor, SLNA is actively bringing in quality players to add to the squad to realize the goal of staying in the league this season. Recently, SLNA has received two foreign players on trial, both of whom are Nigerian defenders. Photo: Duc Anh |

| In the first leg of V.League 2021, SLNA's defense did not play well, conceding 15 goals and is currently at the bottom of the rankings. Recently, the Nghe An team decided to terminate the contract with defender Igor Jelic (Serbia), so SLNA is rushing to bring a quality central defender to the team. Photo: Duc Anh |

| Through SLNA's internal matches, according to the assessment, this Chinedu player has good physical strength, physique, and agility. In addition, he has the ability to judge ball situations very quickly, with the ability to effectively press and especially plays quite well with captain Hoang Van Khanh. Photo: Duc Anh |

| Although the 24-year-old Nigerian defender has never played in Vietnam, he showed no signs of confusion during the internal matches and integrated quite well into SLNA's playing style. Photo: Duc Anh |

| The other person on trial this time is defender Sergio Uyi, a Nigerian. He used to play for Torino (Italy). Last year, he had a trial at SLNA but for some reasons he could not sign a contract with the Nghe An team. Photo: Duc Anh |
 |
| In SLNA's internal match, Sergio played less than Chinedu and did not leave much of an impression. However, after only a few minutes of playing, the 28-year-old defender showed his experience, ability to press and control the ball well. He was only a little weak in his ability to cover for the other central defender. Photo: Duc Anh |

| To stay in the league successfully, in addition to improving the scoring, SLNA's defense must bring peace of mind to the attackers in the front line. And finding a quality center-back is a necessary condition to help the Nghe An team escape the danger zone in this return leg. Photo: Duc Anh |
