Changing the National Cup schedule is favorable for SLNA

(Baonghean.vn) - The Organizing Committee has just announced that 'The first leg of the Final between Becamex Binh Duong and Song Lam Nghe An will start at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 9, 2017 instead of Saturday, November 25, 2017 as the published schedule'.

Accordingly, SLNA will play the first leg on November 9, 2017 at Go Dau Stadium and the second leg on November 30, 2017 at Vinh Stadium. This is considered a favorable match schedule for the Nghe An team, because before that, on November 5, 2017 at Vinh Stadium in round 24, SLNA only had to meet Long An, a team that was 99% relegated at that time.

Meanwhile, B.Binh Duong will have to face the home team FLC Thanh Hoa, a very strong team pursuing the championship goal. Playing the second leg, when V-League 2017 has ended, the Nghe An team will focus all their efforts on the only goal of the season.

Not to mention, it is expected that 10,000 Nghe An fans will be present at Go Dau Stadium to cheer for SLNA. This means that SLNA will play 2 matches at home, with the support of thousands of fans. Meanwhile, in both the first and second leg of the final, coach Tran Binh Su will not have midfielder Tan Tai, the "trump card" of the midfield who played extremely enthusiastically.

The most likely replacement is Thanh Tung, a midfielder born in 1988 who is not considered as strange as player number 14 from Khanh Hoa. Nghe An fans are facing the opportunity to celebrate the 38th Cup when the season ends.
