Hanoi T&T - a strong test for SLNA's youth

(Baonghean.vn)-At 4:30 p.m. this afternoon (February 6), on the Thanh Vinh fire pan, SLNA will host the rich team of Mr. Hien. Always a championship candidate and a strong force in V.League, but in the last 12 matches, Hanoi T&T has not once enjoyed the joy of victory against SLNA.

Young SLNA players are ready for the match against Hanoi T&T

With strong investment, since playing in V.League, every time entering a new season, people list Hanoi T&T as a candidate for the championship of the tournament. With 2 championships and 3 runner-up titles, it shows the strength of this rich team. However, no matter where they "make waves", when meeting SLNA, this team "turns off the lights". The proof is that in 12 meetings, Hanoi T&T has not had a single victory against the Nghe An team.

On the march to Vinh Stadium this time, in the Hanoi T&T squad there are still players who used to wear SLNA shirts such as Hong Son, Hong Tien, Hector... and on the coaching bench is assistant coach Van Sy Son. Although they understand SLNA very well, the Nghe An people in the team of Mr. Hien are often nervous when facing their hometown team. Therefore, this afternoon, except for foreign player Hector, it is not certain that goalkeeper Hong Son and midfielder Hong Tien will be used. Another disadvantage for coach Phan Thanh Hung is that in this match, striker Hoang Vu Sam Son is suspended. Although the squad is damaged, Hanoi T&T still has in their hands the best players Gonzalo, Van Bien, Thanh Luong, Van Quyet and Hector ready to play.

Phi Son and Phuc Tinh are SLNA's hopes in this afternoon's match.

With a more experienced force, coach Phan Thanh Hung will certainly choose an attacking style of play to dominate the game against the home team SLNA.

Meanwhile, with the resounding victory over Thanh Hoa, the spirit of the young SLNA players is very excited. However, with the "bloody" experience in the loss to B.Binh Duong in round 4 at home, this match, coach Ngo Quang Truong will definitely still focus on defense before thinking about attacking against a team with a stronger force.

Midfielder Hector understands SLNA very well as he was once a mainstay of the Nghe An team.

Due to the rain for many days, the Vinh stadium will definitely be muddy this afternoon, greatly affecting the quality of the match. However, this can also be considered an advantage for the home team Vinh stadium because they are familiar with this stadium. Meanwhile, the low ball and small coordination style of Hanoi T&T will be greatly affected.

Meeting SLNA in a situation where the teachers are young and the students are inexperienced in battle, this can be seen as an opportunity for coach Phan Thanh Hung to erase the curse of not knowing victory 12 times against SLNA.

With his rising form in recent matches, captain Quang Tinh will be the main "tractor" for SLNA in the match against Hanoi T&T this afternoon.

For coach Ngo Quang Truong and his players, the rich team of Mr. Hien is a great test for the mettle of the young warriors. A positive result against Ha Noi T&T will further affirm the strength and maturity of the young players of SLNA!
