Facing Thanh Hoa, Coach Duc Thang puts his trust in rookie Vinicius
(Baonghean.vn) - Sharing before the match against Thanh Hoa in round 15 of V.League 2019, Coach Nguyen Duc Thang highly appreciated the home team's performance and was confident in his current squad.
After 14 rounds, SLNA is currently in 4th place on the rankings with 5 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses. Despite being the team with the best defense and the fewest losses, the Nghe An team has only scored a total of 13 goals, the lowest among the V.League teams up to this point. "I think the current 4th place on the rankings makes me quite satisfied because SLNA players have tried and made efforts in each match. This also reflects the team's true strength after half a season has passed," said coach Nguyen Duc Thang.
In round 15, SLNA will visit Thanh Hoa against a home team that is in good form and excited. In the last 5 matches, Thanh Hoa won 3 and drew 2. The Thanh team's attack is currently the best in V.League, only after Hanoi (24 goals).

“Victory is what every team aims for, but for now, we aim to get points against Thanh Hoa. Since the 7th round, Thanh Hoa has gradually regained its strength with convincing victories and I think the upcoming match between SLNA and Thanh Hoa is worth watching and waiting for,” said coach Nguyen Duc Thang.
Before the second leg, both Thanh Hoa and SLNA added their squads. Notably, foreign players Stevens and Vinicius were added. As a guest against Thanh Hoa, coach Nguyen Duc Thang continued to expect the new Brazilian player to shine.
SLNA head coach shared: “After the first phase ended, SLNA tried many foreign players but most of them did not meet the requirements. It must be said that it is very difficult to find a quality foreign player in the middle of the season. However, Vinicius is one of the quite good cases and I hope he will shine in the upcoming match. The rest, the current squad also makes me feel quite secure.”
In this match, SLNA will welcome the return of central defender Hoang Van Khanh and midfielder Ho Khac Ngoc. If SLNA wins against Thanh Hoa this afternoon, the Nghe An team will have 25 points, holding a great opportunity to break into the Top 3./.
