Hanoi FC - SLNA: How to 'kill' Hoang Vu Samson?

(Baonghean.vn) -Hoang VuSamson - the talented but flawed player who helpedHanoi FC defeated Nghe An team twice.

It was not until the 14th meeting (August 9, 2015) that substitute Hoang Vu Samson helped Hanoi FC have their first victory over the Nghe An team. Not only that, this Nigerian player continued to score in the 3-1 victory at Vinh Stadium in the 2016 V-League season.

In the first leg of V-League 2015, coach Phan Thanh Hung's team lost 0-2 at Vinh Stadium. They had to play the second leg at Hang Day Stadium, in front of 10,000 Nghe An fans, in the context of having to compete in the National Cup semi-final.

After winning the title of V-League 2014 Top Scorer, Hoang Vu Samson returned home for medical treatment. Due to flight problems, he arrived in Hanoi quite late. He did not practice much with the coaching staff of HN.T&T (the name of HN FC at that time), so he had to sit on the bench.

In the opening 20 minutes of the match, the SLNA midfield under the direction of Quang Tinh forced HN.T&T to the home field and Samson asked to enter the field. Just a few minutes after entering the field, Samson took advantage, turning Van Quyet's sharp pass into a valuable goal, helping HN T&T overcome SLNA after many years of waiting.

Samson's surprise goal in the penalty area also acted as a psychological blow, strongly affecting the mentality of SLNA players. The proof was that a few minutes later, captain Quang Tinh himself sent the ball over the crossbar from the penalty spot, bringing the away team a chance to equalize.

Round 13, V-League 2016 season, at Vinh stadium, after Phi Son equalized 1-1 in the 62nd minute, Hoang Vu Samson raised the score to 2-1, the goal against SLNA helped him reach the milestone of 120 goals in V.League and become the greatest scorer in the history of this tournament.

Van Quyet's penalty kick later created a 3-1 victory at Vinh Stadium, which was very meaningful for Hanoi T&T. Accordingly, the capital team ended the streak of matches without knowing victory every time they had to visit SLNA in history. This was also the last stadium where Hanoi T&T did not know victory every time they visited in history.

In the second leg of round 17 of V-League 2016 at Hang Day Stadium, assigned to play as a right midfielder in a 4-1-4-1 formation, Hoang Vu Samson crushed SLNA's left wing, guarded by left-back The Nhat. The 1-0 goal was scored by Hung Dung, but Van Quyet and Samson were the two best players of the match.

In the last 3 meetings in the V-League, SLNA lost to Hanoi FC and Hoang Vu Samson was truly the nemesis of the Nghe An team. Samson not only played a role in disrupting SLNA's play, but also directly scored important goals against the Nghe An team.

According to our own sources, it is likely that the versatile playerGonzalo has yet to play in the match at Hang Day Stadium. Obviously, with two players Samson and Moses having a relatively similar playing style, SLNA's defense can breathe a little easier, but that doesn't mean the Nghe An team can easily have a good game. Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem also has center-back Alvaro Linares Silva, who plays extremely well in the air, and has scored 3 goals so far.

Center back Van Khanh has the opportunity to face Hoang Vu Samson, a talented player, the top striker of V-League in the past 6 years. He is holding the record for the player who scored the most goals in V-League. It is worth mentioning that after many years of fighting in V-League, he has become extremely strange when facing defenders.

V-League 2012, Samson accelerated on the right wing, SLNA defender Huy Hoang dangerously tackled the ball with both feet, Samson avoided it but did not forget to "give" Huy Hoang a kick in the face with the sole of his shoe.

Two years later, Hanoi T&T traveled to Lach Tray Stadium of Hai Phong. In a play on the left wing, Samson was fouled by Van Nam right next to the track. He immediately got up and retaliated. The ensuing scuffle with Hai Phong players saw Samson hit Van Nhien in the face and receive a red card. In the 3rd round of V-League 2017, he calmly kicked HAGL player Chau Ngoc Quang in the thigh, causing controversy among experts and was suspended for 2 matches.

There is no other way, in this afternoon's match against Hanoi FC, the young players of SLNA, especially Que Ngoc Hai, must have a cool head when marking Samson, a talented but flawed player.
