Rating Nghe An players in the Vietnam-Syria match

(Baonghean.vn) -Although Hoang Thinh was absent due to injury, 5/11 players from Nghe An were still present in the starting lineup of the Vietnam team, of which SLNA had 3 players and took on the role of the backbone of the defense. Not to mention, sitting on the coaching bench was also a coach from Nghe An.

-Goalkeeper Nguyen Manh:Except for the moment of going out of position in the 42nd minute, this goalkeeper from Nghe An played simply but quite solidly. Against the tall players Omari and Al Mawas, Nguyen Manh often chose the safe solution of clearing the ball. In the 61st minute, his flying save from Almad Alsaleh's header from a corner kick was worthy of praise. In this match, Nguyen Manh entered and exited quite proactively, creating peace of mind for the defenders. Score 8.5/10.

-Center back Ngoc Hai:Playing with Ngoc Thinh for the first time, this central defender duo played quite well together. Except for a misdirected pass on the left wing and a time when Omari dribbled past him in the 12th minute, Ngoc Hai defended quite well but could not develop the ability to launch attacks with long passes. Score 8/10.

-Defender Dinh Hoang:Having to constantly compete with taller defenders with much better physical strength, Dinh Hoang still showed the mettle that had been trained at SLNA. In the 26th and 68th minutes, Dinh Hoang made a smart pass to Cong Vinh. If the Syrian defender had been slow, it would have been a dangerous situation. Score 8.5/10.

-Defender Dinh Dong:FLC Thanh Hoa's defender mainly defended, rarely joined the attack, it was not until the 56th minute that he opened the wing for Cong Vinh. But that does not mean underestimating this player's role because it is not simple for coach Ayman Alhakim to instruct "dodge right, kick left". Score 8/10.

-Striker Cong Vinh:It is true that “the older the ginger, the spicier it is.” Although he did not move much, Syrian goalkeeper Almabayed will have to remember the name Cong Vinh for a long time. In addition to opening the score after an extremely delicate combination with his close friend Thanh Luong, Cong Vinh also had the task of pulling the Syrian defense to give his junior Cong Phuong space. Score 8.5/10.

-Coach Huu Thang:Syria did not choose a close-quarters style of play, so our team had an easier time playing, but experts did not underestimate Huu Thang's leadership role. Choosing a style of play that surrounded the tall Syrian players, and sticking to a low, short style of play combined with long passes, showed that the coach was gradually perfecting his coaching philosophy. The reasonable substitutions created conditions for the players to be excited when participating in the team, while ensuring the match result. Score 9/10.
