Is SLNA's squad capable of winning the V.League title?
(Baonghean.vn) - In the past five years alone, SLNA has parted ways with dozens of quality players trained by the club itself, who were once key players for the Vietnamese national teams. If these players were to join forces with foreign players, they would certainly form a very strong team in the V.League.

Forward: Vu Quang Nam

His contract with Ho Chi Minh City FC has expired, and his future remains uncertain after the 2019 season ends. Besides Quang Nam, there's also "king of youth tournaments" Nguyen Dinh Bao, currently playing for Saigon FC. Photo: Duc Anh |
Forward: Michael Olaha

| Foreign player Michael Olaha is also a discovery for SLNA over the past three years. The Nigerian-born player is currently attracting interest from many V.League teams after his contract with SLNA expires. Photo: Duc Anh |

| If the aforementioned squad were combined with coach Nguyen Huu Thang – who also led SLNA for many years – the Nghe An team would certainly be capable of winning the V.League championship. Of course, that's just in the imagination; in reality, the amount of money needed to bring back that squad would not be small. Graphics: Trung Kien |
