(Baonghean.vn) - SLNA's defeat against Thanh Hoa in round 12 did not surprise many people. This is because the Nghe An team is currently facing many difficulties regarding its squad.
Speaking after the match, SLNA coach Nguyen Huy Hoang said: “The coach's job is to accept difficulties. The SLNA players are still very determined. We all have a clear goal to overcome the difficulties.”
I think everything is fine, but we're severely short of defensive players.SLNAWe've lost two key players, Van Khanh and Igor Jelic. That disruption will be very difficult to resolve in the defense. I think the players' spirit remains the same; they're always giving 100%."

Coach Huy Hoang added: “We will improve our attacking performance. The 4-point gap with the team above us is still a gap that can be overcome.”
Both SLNA and Thanh Hoa played well in this match. My players performed well. But the truth is, we were unlucky with the situations near the goal. The management's job is up to them, but my view is that we need to stabilize the players' morale as best as possible.”
Regarding the home team, Thanh Hoa's coach Ljupko Petrovic commented: "This is the most important match of the season. We have one more match against Saigon. We have to do everything we can."

This is a crucial match that will determine whether Thanh Hoa finishes in the top 6 or drops into the bottom 8. I hope I can prepare better for this match, and then I'll have more time to work during the break before the next game.”
Petrovic concluded: “All the players played well and I am satisfied. Pinto took advantage of his scoring opportunity, but Dinh Tung wasted too many chances. Both could have scored. If they had taken advantage, it would have been much better and I wouldn't have been so stressed in the final minutes of the match.”
