Where is the young team of Song Lam Nghe An?

But there is an undeniable fact that the youth training of Song Lam Nghe An is gradually falling behind, even falling far behind the Hanoi FC, The Cong Viettel, PVF..., even the neighboring Thanh Hoa is also following closely and surpassing. Looking at the current youth of Song Lam Nghe An to determine their position in the V-League or national youth teams is a necessity.

First of all, the player who had the highest "label" of Song Lam Nghe An was goalkeeper Van Viet when he was called up many times to the Vietnam National Team and U23 Vietnam. Of course, when he joined the Vietnam National Team, Van Viet only held the number 3-4 position, which is the reserve for his seniors Van Lam, Nguyen Filip and Dinh Trieu. In U23 Vietnam, the coaches also trusted Van Chuan more than Van Viet, the main goalkeeper of Song Lam Nghe An, in the number 2 position, the reserve for the main goalkeeper of U23 Vietnam. That shows that Van Viet is a promising reserve goalkeeper, called up to the national team as a preparation for the future in the goal of the Vietnam National Team thanks to his excellent qualities. Unfortunately, in this call for the ASEAN Cup 2024, Van Viet's name was not on the list. There are many reasons, but surely the scouts looked at the poor performance of Song Lam Nghe An to "evaluate" Van Viet, even though he is still the best player in the Vinh team's squad so far.

The second player that needs to be mentioned is defender Van Cuong, who played excellently forU23 VietnamTroussier's time in the U23 Southeast Asian tournament and was also called up to the Vietnam National Team as an "apprentice" player for the future. Unfortunately, after a loan period at Hanoi Police and a persistent injury, Van Cuong has not really returned to his true self, so everything for this young talent is still a big question mark?

The next player is Xuan Tien, who, along with Van Cuong, won the national U17 championship in 2020, was also called up to the second team of Vietnam U23 to participate in the Southeast Asian tournament later. At that time, Vietnam U23 was built into 2 teams serving 2 different goals. It was a pity that Xuan Tien was not selected for the U23 team to compete in the continental tournament. After that, injuries and internal discipline made it very difficult for this young talent to find himself again. The same story happened to Nam Hai when he had to struggle with injuries after his success with Vietnam U23 but was extremely miserable with the long absence and finding himself again on the field.

The two young talents of the U19 Vietnam team, Nguyen Hoang and Le Dinh Long Vu, can play well in the national youth teams, but in the V-League, it is a different story. They are really "overwhelmed" in the V-League playground as reality proves. It is difficult to "make great strides" like the seniors Van Quyen or Cong Vinh before, although people still acknowledge that Nguyen Hoang is gradually becoming more mature and is truly a great hope in the defense and Long Vu has created goals for his teammates, but that is not enough, absolutely not enough when the V-League has experienced and talented seniors, great foreign players and it is really not easy for them to show their talents. Let's see how Van Duc or Xuan Manh are struggling to find a place in the squad, or Ngoc Hai and Nguyen Manh have just been eliminated from the national team, then we know where the young players of Song Lam currently stand on the "position map" of the football village?

To see, the youngLam River Nghe AnCurrently, they do not have a position in the national team, but their position in the U23 Vietnam team is still a question mark when they are struggling at the club? So, the story of the relegation season just passed and then the fight against relegation this season, that is, after going through a high mountain, there is an even higher mountain, Mr. Nhu Thuat must speak frankly about the matter of supplementing and replacing the force, both domestic and foreign players.

The young players of Song Lam gradually lost their position in the national team due to playing too hard and too much at the club, losing and drawing more than winning can also make them lose confidence, the necessary sublimation leading to not achieving individual and collective results. Without seniors to guide them and having to work hard can make their talent wither, unable to develop as usual is obvious. Look at Van Truong at Hanoi FC or young player Ngoc My at Dong A Thanh Hoa to see how the favorable environment is helping them grow up. As for Long Vu or Nguyen Hoang, it is difficult to confirm that when they are promoted early to Team 1 of Song Lam Nghe An, will they progress or regress and will their future be open or not?

In life, there is a saying "Children are not smart", and in football, it is easy to associate "children are not successful", as in the case of Song Lam Nghe An. The young team of Song Lam has potential and is well-trained, but if they are not used properly, rushed, not given proper attention and investment, and do not have a favorable practice environment, they will soon lose themselves or find it very difficult to find themselves again, and the above evidence is specific and obvious./.
