Midfield mark
(Baonghean.vn) – Before the match between SL Nghe An and SGXT, the Thong Nhat Stadium Organizing Committee made a somewhat surprising announcement: ticket prices were doubled compared to usual at stands C and D from 20,000 to 40,000 - the stand "reserved" for SLNA's fan club.
In addition, the Organizing Committee was also very cautious in mobilizing a large number of mobile forces, public order police, militia, estimated at no less than 300 people to ensure security for the match. But regardless of all, Nghe An fans still flocked to the stadium, the yellow shirts made up the majority of the 15,000 spectators, creating an extremely enthusiastic atmosphere in the stands, thereby adding strength to help coach Huu Thang and his team "destroy" SGXT in a completely overwhelming match.
A slight change compared to the match against HN T&T when “Vietnam’s Ronaldo” Phi Son was officially left out, Hoang Thinh was pushed up to play with Van Binh, leaving the familiar central defender position to Manh Hung. Just that much but it was enough to make a difference. The fiery playing style based on the excellent sweeping power of Thinh “bom” completely neutralized the explosive Nguyen Rogerio, winning the heated battle in the midfield area, so it is completely understandable that SLNA maintained an advantageous position.
Considered one of the best central midfielders in V.League at the moment, the Brazilian foreign player could not show much against the "very leaden" way of SLNA's number 8. The deadlock was clearly shown through his very hot-tempered actions. Instead of proving his ability on the field, this player attracted attention with unnecessary "verbal fights". Hoang Thinh did a great job of "cleaning up" the midfield, which greatly helped vice-captain Van Binh. No longer having to worry about defense, Binh "Son Hai" immediately spoke up with familiar killer passes. With excellent observation and excellent rhythm control, the ball from Van Binh's feet was deployed all over the field, creating conditions for his teammates to have the opportunity to approach XMXT.SG's penalty area. Quite quiet on the field, but the "pair of lotus pond" of coach Huu Thang played an extremely important role, they deserve to be honored as heroes.
Two midfield players of SLNA
The disastrous decline in performance since the beginning of the season has put Trong Hoang under a lot of pressure, the heavy responsibility of the captain's armband has always weighed down Hoang "cow"'s mentality, unintentionally taking away the best things from him. However, the coaching staff's belief has not faded because they know that the class of a big star is not easily lost, Trong Hoang's impressive performance in this match has proven that point of view is completely well-founded. TH9's early goal helped SLNA players play extremely well, the attacks are much more dangerous when the mentality is shaken off. Trong Hoang is truly a whirlwind on the sidelines when he continuously torments the home team's defense after stormy dribbling situations. The defense led by Long Giang could not stand the heat and was shattered by the terrifying force created by the feet of the SLNA captain.
Not only did TH8 complete the attacking task well, but he also actively retreated to support Au Van Hoan in defense, causing the home team's wing attacks to fall into a deadlock. On the opposite wing, Quang Tinh was not inferior, even more sublime. Possessing perfect personal technique, the midfielder from Do Luong was extremely confident in every phase of the ball, he coordinated effectively with his teammates and when needed, he could create a breakthrough himself. Being arranged by coach Huu Thang on his favorite left wing helped Tinh "pig" like a fish in water, showing all the best things. He contributed greatly to the goal that broke the deadlock when he made a centimeter-accurate pass that completely eliminated the pressure of the orange shirts, creating a favorable opportunity for Trong Hoang to jump high and head the ball into the SGXT net.
20 minutes later, Quang Tinh officially put his name on the scoreboard, a cannon shot from a distance of 25m sent the ball into the net, surprising the coaching staff as well as the XMXT.SG players. If he had a little more luck, Quang Tinh would have created a masterpiece in this match. The spontaneous handling at the end of the first half turned the home team's defenders into pitiful apprentices. He dribbled the ball at high speed but the SLNA midfielder confidently performed a series of difficult moves. The sensitive toe-poking situation defeated goalkeeper Minh Nhut but unfortunately was blocked by Van Sang right on the goal line. It was a pity but with what he showed, Quang Tinh deserved to be the brightest star of the match.
In the context that Cong Vinh has left, Kavin has not regained his natural goal-scoring instinct, and Plaza has not been able to develop his ability, the pressure to shine for the stars in the midfield is therefore much greater. Fortunately, the "second-line punches" have spoken up in time to help SLNA hold on to the fragile hope. Fans of the Nghe An team hope that Trong Hoang and his teammates will continue to maintain their sublimation to help the team create a spectacular comeback this season.
