Echoes of the Thanh Nghe Derby

Disappointing defeat

Lam River Nghe Anencountered many difficulties against the pressing play of Dong A Thanh Hoa. And the Thanh team was also the one who played better in the first half. As a result, they had the opening goal thanks to Rimario Gordon after a mistake by the Nghe team's defense.

After conceding the goal, coach Van Sy Son’s team tried to push forward to find an equalizer. However, on a day when the strikers were unlucky, Song Lam Nghe An had to accept a 0-1 defeat right at home.

With this defeat, Song Lam Nghe An has dropped to 12th place on the rankings. Meanwhile, Dong A Thanh Hoa has ended a streak of 15 consecutive matches without knowing the taste of victory.

Dong A Thanh Hoa - The formidable opponent of Song Lam Nghe An

Dong A Thanh Hoa is on a streak of 15 consecutive matches without knowing the taste of victory. The Thanh team's defense has also conceded goals in 20 consecutive matches. Dong A Thanh Hoa's squad is missing 2 foreign players and Captain Doan Ngoc Tan. These reasons show the crisis of coach Choi Won Kwon's team during the away match at Vinh Stadium.

However, Song Lam Nghe An still could not end the streak of 11 consecutive matches without knowing the taste of victory against the neighboring team. Even the only goal of Rimario Gordon caused the Nghe team to receive the third consecutive loss against Dong A Thanh Hoa right at home.

It can be said,East Asia Thanh Hoais the nemesis of Song Lam Nghe An no matter what the circumstances.

Missing the striker

In coach Van Sy Son's formation, 2 strikers play a very important role. However, in the last match, Song Lam Nghe An did not have a real striker to play alongside Michael Olaha because Reon Dale Moore was suspended and Phan Xuan Dai was absent. This made the Nghe team's playing style difficult and deadlocked.

Even in the second half, coach Van Sy Son had to push center back Justin Julian Garcia to play as a striker. And this helped Song Lam Nghe An create quite a storm towards goalkeeper Trinh Xuan Hoang's goal. However, Justin Garcia is only a defender so his finishing ability is limited and cannot help the Nghe team score a goal.

Therefore, to achieve the effectiveness of coach Van Sy Son's playing style, Song Lam Nghe An needs solutions to improve the quality of the attack. Especially the striker position.

Hot relegation race

With Dong A Thanh Hoa and Hoang Anh Gia Lai both winning their first matches of the season, the relegation race has become heated right from the start of the season. The gap between the teams on the rankings is very tight. And if there is no careful consideration in every point, the clubs will be in danger.

Particularly Song Lam Nghe An,Nghe An football teamare facing many disadvantages in this relegation race when they cannot win many points in home matches and meet opponents of equal strength.

Hopefully, in the upcoming matches, coach Van Sy Son's team will improve their performance, thereby achieving better results./.
