Coach Nguyen Duc Thang: 'We set the highest goal against FLC Thanh Hoa'

(Baonghean.vn) -Before the opening match against FLC Thanh Hoa, Nghe An Newspaper had a quick interview with Coach Nguyen Duc Thang.Accordingly, the new head coach of SLNA said that SLNA traveled to Thanh Hoa with the highest goal of winning.

Head coach of SLNA Club Nguyen Duc Thang.

Coach Nguyen Duc Thang, tomorrow SLNA will meet FLC Thanh Hoa, a team that has strengthened its squad in preparation for the season. What do you think about the match this afternoon, January 8?

-The opening match and having to play away is a disadvantage for SLNA anyway. But in my opinion, whether at home or away, we must create for the players a spirit and confidence as well as the ability to withstand pressure from the audience on the opponent's field. That is the most important thing.

FLC Thanh Hoa's squad has many players from Nghe An and understands SLNA's playing style. Can you reveal how SLNA will approach today's match?

- I think the players have left SLNA for many years. And that is very normal in football. When playing against any team, we must have our own strategy and preparation. Off the field, we are friends and brothers. On the field, they and we are opponents, everyone needs to protect the flag and the shirt. We are not worried about the problem.

During the transfer period, preparing for the 2017 season, SLNA was quite quiet. Perhaps using internal strength is the most important thing for SLNA. So do you think that is a disadvantage for SLNA when entering the new season?

- This reality has been happening for many years with SLNA. And we have had to get used to it. We have to play like the people we have. Each club has a different sponsor, SLNA also has its difficulties but I think our team is very lucky to still have the attention of the province as well as the sponsor.

SLNA is a guest against FLC Thanh Hoa with many difficulties, so can you tell us what is the goal that the Nghe An team set for today's match?

- We always set the highest goals and try our best. As for the results, after 90 minutes on the field, we will answer all.

Thank you and wish you success with SLNA!
