Fierce competition between SLNA's central midfielders
(Baonghean.vn) - The central midfielder position of SLNA is quite crowded with a series of quality and experienced players. It will create fierce competition between teammates.
According to the list of 26 players registered for the 2019 season, SLNA's central midfielder position has up to 6 faces. In addition to Khac Ngoc, there is also the presence of Van Binh, Quang Tinh, Sy Sam, Ngoc Toan and Manh Dung. This is a reasonable number for a team that will participate in 2 arenas, V.League and National Cup like SLNA.
With the familiar 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 formation of Coach Nguyen Duc Thang, only 2/6 of the above players will be able to enter the field from the start. That means 4/6 players will have to sit on the bench. That will help the SLNA coaching staff to rotate players more easily.
The quality and experienced midfielders Khac Ngoc, Van Binh and Quang Tinh will most likely be used by coach Nguyen Duc Thang in the V.League arena. Meanwhile, the remaining players will be backups for the three senior players and will be in charge of matches in the National Cup.

That does not mean that Ngoc Toan, Sy Sam, and Manh Dung will happily accept being secondary factors in the central midfield position of SLNA in V.League 2019. They will certainly try their best to compete fairly with Quang Tinh, Khac Ngoc, and Van Binh.
Remember, besides maintaining form, the different bonus levels between the main players and the reserve players also arise many problems. No professional player wants to sit on the bench all the time. They will find any way to get on the field.
The 2019 season is the last season in the contract signed between SLNA with Ngoc Toan and Manh Dung. The same is the case with Quang Tinh (Quang Tinh and Van Binh's contracts are also only 1 year). These players will try their best to "PR themselves" with other teams and with the Nghe An team, as a preparation for the future.
It seems that the competition for positions among SLNA's central midfielders in the 2019 season will be extremely fierce. SLNA's coaching staff will certainly feel both happy and troubled in arranging the squad./.
