(Baonghean.vn) - The 2-1 victory over Hanoi U21 brought the Nghe An team to the final of the 2023 National U21 tournament. This was a victory of both courage and luck for coach Pham Bui Minh and his team.

Lucky companion

It can be said that in the semi-final match, luck was on the side of Nghe An team. First, the referee did not recognize the opening goal of the Hanoi U21 players in the 19th minute. This was a situation where the referees made a mistake when the ball had not yet crossed the touchline. If Ngo Thanh Tai's goal had been recognized, the playersU21 Song Lam Nghe Anwill face many difficulties in the remaining minutes of the match.

Besides, the opening goal of the Nghe team was also somewhat lucky when the header of midfielder Nguyen Van Bach lightly hit defender Le Van Ha, leaving goalkeeper Nguyen Duy Dung helpless as the ball flew into the net. And when the Nghe team played well and had luck on their side, victory to reach the final was inevitable for coach Pham Bui Minh's team.

Hopefully, luck will continue to be on the side of coach Pham Bui Minh and his team in the final match, thereby helping U21 Song Lam Nghe An win the National U21 Championship for the 6th time.

Goalkeeper class

It is no coincidence that goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet has been called up to the National Team by coach Philippe Troussier in the upcoming training session. The 21-year-old goalkeeper's excellent performance in the recent U23 Asian qualifiers and the matches in the final round of the National U21 tournament this year have said it all.

Hopefully, goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet will continue to maintain this excellent form to help U21 Song Lam Nghe An win the final match.

Coach Pham Bui Minh's clever move

Despite the return of Le Nguyen Hoang and Tran Nam Hai, coach Pham Bui Minh still kept the same starting lineup as in the quarter-final match against U21 Dong A Thanh Hoa. This coach wanted the Nghe team to have stability to be ready to welcome the reigning champions. And coach Pham Bui Minh's students did quite well in the plan that the Nghe team's coaching staff set out to help the home team have a balanced match against U21 Hanoi.

After the first half ended in a 0-0 draw, the 45-year-old coach made a change in the attack. Striker Le Khanh Toan was brought in to replace Phan Duy Hao. This change immediately brought about results, as the striker wearing the number 22 shirt handled the ball skillfully and then shot dangerously, forcing goalkeeper Nguyen Duy Dung to push the ball away and midfielder Nguyen Van Bach promptly headed in to open the score.

With the goal to take the lead, coach Pham Bui Minh immediately made changes. With the presence of Ho Van Cuong and Le Nguyen Hoang, U21 Song Lam Nghe An switched to playing with a 5-4-1 formation. This formation helps the Nghe team defend tightly and wait for counter-attack opportunities. As a result, the defense of U21 Song Lam Nghe An played quite solidly against the flank attacks of the Capital team.

It can be said,Coach Pham Bui Minhand his colleagues have done very well in this year's tournament. Hopefully, in the upcoming final match, this coach born in 1978 will have reasonable tactics to bring glory to the Nghe An team.
