It's time to promote the role of Technical Director Hideaki Shoji at Song Lam Nghe An

As known, Japanese expert Hideaki Shoji was appointed as Technical Director ofLam River Nghe Anfrom the beginning of September 2024. The recent period is the time when this man born in 1970 is getting acquainted with and learning about the Vietnamese football environment in general and Song Lam Nghe An in particular.

Mr. Hideaki Shoji's professionalism is highly appreciated by his colleagues. And it is that professionalism that has helped him see the problems that the Nghe An team must face in order to make progress in the future.

First, the Japanese expert frankly pointed out that the discipline of the Song Lam Nghe An team 1 was not good. There were still cases of players arriving late to training sessions. Among them, there were seniors who could not set an example for the younger players to follow.

This is not a rare thing at the Clubs, but in the eyes of Mr. Hideaki Shoji, this is the root cause of the decline in performance of Song Lam Nghe An. Because, only when there is seriousness in training, the Nghe An team can maintain and promote the highest performance.

It is very likely that in the coming time, Song Lam Nghe An will have to use stronger measures to maintain discipline in activities as well as competitions.

Besides, having only started working since September, Technical Director Hideaki Shoji has not been able to participate in the personnel selection work at the beginning of the season. This is also one of the reasons why Song Lam Nghe An has not played well in recent times.

Most likely, this Technical Director will look for 1-2 high-quality foreign players for Song Lam Nghe An to supplement in the middle of the season. Those could be foreign players from Japan or Brazil, where players with very good technical foundation and tactical thinking are born.

If quality foreign players are added, Song Lam Nghe An's playing style will certainly change in the next stage of the season.

Not only adding quality to the first team, Technical Director Hideaki Shoji also participated in rebuilding the training plans for the youth teams at Nghe An football team. According to him, the current training plans of Song Lam Nghe An are old and outdated. Therefore, only by changing the mindset can Song Lam Nghe An youth football improve their performance.

Qualifying roundNational U19The upcoming tournament will be an opportunity to test the new curriculum that Song Lam Nghe An has built. Or most recently, the 2024 Song Lam Nghe An International Youth Friendly Tournament with the participation of U13 Song Lam Nghe An (2 teams), U13 PVF and U13 Tokyo. This is a valuable opportunity for young players of Song Lam Nghe An to compete and gain experience against strong opponents.

In addition, Technical Director Hideaki Shoji also pointed out shortcomings in the training equipment of the Vinh Stadium team. However, due to financial difficulties, these problems will be supplemented and gradually overcome by Song Lam Nghe An Club.

With the aim of providing professional support to help the club develop long-term,Technical Director Hideaki Shojiis trying to advise the Board of Directors of Song Lam Nghe An, as well as the coaches to help them come up with the best options for the team.

Hopefully, Mr. Hideaki Shoji's professionalism and dedication will help improve the performance of not only Song Lam Nghe An's first team, but also improve the performance of the youth teams in the near future.
