Former football star Dang Phuong Nam: 'Que Ngoc Hai does not bring many advantages to Viettel against SLNA'

“Both Viettel and Song Lam Nghe An will face difficulties in the upcoming match, but the difficulty is leaning more towards Viettel. Because Viettel is a young team, has not yet defined its playing style while SLNA is the top team after 7 rounds.

SLNA also has much better experience in V.League than Viettel. SLNA's foreign players are also much better than Viettel's foreign players. It's a pity for SLNA that they didn't win the match against Nam Dinh, losing their momentum," said coach Dang Phuong Nam.

The match at Hang Day Stadium this Sunday is the day when central defender Que Ngoc Hai faces his hometown team. However, according to coach Dang Phuong Nam, Ngoc Hai's return does not bring much advantage to Viettel.

He said: “Viettel’s coaching staff is having a headache because they don’t know where to put him. Since the beginning of the season, Ngoc Hai has not been in the best position or in the best form. Returning to play during such a sensitive period will be more difficult for Ngoc Hai.

If Que Ngoc Hai plays in this match, his mind and emotions may not be really stable. His heart belongs to SLNA but facing his hometown team will be a big challenge. Ngoc Hai is a brave and experienced player but it is also difficult to avoid being affected to some extent in terms of performance.

In the past, Viettel and SLNA have never faced each other because the home team has just been promoted to V.League 2019. In the first 7 matches, Viettel had 2 home wins against Thanh Hoa and Nam Dinh. Coach Lee Heung-Sil and his team are temporarily ranked 7th with 9 points.

Predicting the upcoming match, coach Dang Phuong Nam said: “Although Viettel has home field advantage, their playing style is quite monotonous, mainly attacking the flanks. Although Viettel has Hoang Duc in the midfield, foreign player Kayo Cesar did not play his role well.

This year, I highly appreciate the trio Van Binh - Khac Ngoc - Michael Olaha of SLNA, overall their performance is very impressive. I think the next match will most likely have a draw for the two teams"./.
