Coach Ngo Quang Truong leaves open the future of leading SLNA, satisfied with the young rookie squad

After the 1-1 draw with Nam Dinh, Coach Ngo Quang Truong said: “Nghe An fans all know that when I took over as head coach of SLNA, the team said goodbye to many key players. They were foreign players, the best domestic players, almost the entire squad.

This forced me to promote the young players. I have reasons to be satisfied and also to be dissatisfied. However, what I am most satisfied with is seeing the children who are playing in the V.League for the first time improve day by day. And that also gives me and the children confidence.

What I was not satisfied with was that at the beginning of the season, we played well, but after the tournament returned, the main players kept getting injured. That was the period I was not satisfied with. After the tournament returned for the second time, the players tried their best.

In Van Khanh's case, it is a worthy reward for him. I have guided him since he was young, I understand his strengths and weaknesses very well. I hope he will try to be worthy of what the club has given him.

Speaking about the final match, SLNA head coach said: “Nam Dinh has the right to self-determination, has many advantages and they must decide their own fate. SLNA also played with high determination, Nam Dinh did the same. The developments on the field spoke for themselves.”

Sharing about the future at SLNA, Coach Ngo Quang Truong said: “In my position, doing my duties this season is quite tiring. Whether I will continue to lead the team or not remains to be seen.”

As for coach Pham Hong Phu of Nam Dinh Club, he could not hide his joy when the team got a favorable result and officially stayed in V.League: “When the referee blew the whistle to end the match and when we heard that the Hai Phong - Quang Nam match had a favorable result for Nam Dinh, we and the fans were all in a draw. Because all efforts must be made until the end to be able to successfully stay in the league.

A bit regretful about Rafaelsoon's missed penalty, but maybe because of a bit of mentality, he didn't succeed. The work in this match was good, the match was successful for both teams as well as the referee team.

SLNA's style of play from the beginning, they arranged a team of all young players but they were all quality players. They played with great spirit, causing us a lot of difficulties. Luckily, Nam Dinh still protected the result. Today the players also fought until the last second.

Staying in V.League, we would also like to thank Nam Dinh fans, who traveled a long way to support the team. And especially thank Vinh Stadium's organizers for arranging the most beautiful stands for thousands of away fans. After this result, we have to work very hard to prepare for the next season."

(Baonghean.vn) – Song Lam Nghe An, despite playing with a much-changed lineup, still caused Nam Dinh many difficulties. A draw with SLNA is acceptable and that helps Nam Dinh officially stay in the V.League.
