Coach Nguyen Thanh Vinh pointed out SLNA's professional problems

lose spirit early

Obviously SLNA was not well prepared for this match after a month off, in terms of physical strength, tactics and approach to the match. The spirit of SLNA players and the colors of the flag were not shown in this match.

SLNA's tradition is to play competitively, fiercely, fairly and not fear any opponent. That nature and tradition were lost in the match against Hanoi. To be honest, there has never been a match where SLNA played on Hanoi's field and was as weak as the last match.

The recent 0-4 loss was only the 4th match, not the last match of the season or SLNA in the context of difficulties, declining performance. SLNA had a lot of time and force, but the preparation, mentality and tactics for such a decisive match were not reasonable. It was really a match that did not meet the requirements.

In the context that Hanoi just lost to Yangon, a Myanmar team in the AFC Cup at home, their spirit and ideology were not good and declined, I myself thought, SLNA was the one who won this match, not Hanoi.

However, SLNA failed to take advantage of that opportunity and was even more depressed than them. Watching that match, I felt sorry for SLNA. To some extent, SLNA was subjective...

The role of Que Ngoc Hai and Phan Van Duc

If Phan Van Duc is there, SLNA's playing style will be a little different. That is the ability to hold the ball, the ability to break through, the ability to dribble and coordinate. Phan Van Duc is a good factor, besides Khac Ngoc in the midfield, there is no other player who can create a breakthrough or coordinate with foreign players up front. If Phan Van Duc is there, Michael Olaha will definitely play better.

In defense, the absence of Que Ngoc Hai also leaves a big gap, losing an important stopper and spiritual leader. SLNA's defense must have someone capable and courageous enough to direct the defense and encourage his teammates. Center back Van Khanh is too young to do that.

Now, SLNA needs to pull themselves together and correct their mistakes. At the same time, the team should also look for new players with good spirit to compete. Otherwise, the team will easily decline in the rest of the season.

Immediate solution

In the next match, SLNA will meet Thanh Hoa at Vinh Stadium. At home, SLNA still has the advantage, in terms of personnel, SLNA is rated higher. Thanh Hoa is not a strong team, but they have spirit and good physical strength. I think the two teams will compete with each other, because Thanh Hoa does not have any special factors in attack. Besides Olaha, SLNA lacks factors that can score goals.

I think SLNA should let Khac Ngoc play higher up the pitch, this player will have more opportunities to approach the goal, and develop his ability to make a difference. The team needs a player who can play low to support Khac Ngoc better.

In addition, I feel that the physical strength of SLNA players is declining. Many clubs in V.League such as Ho Chi Minh City have up to 3 assistants, fitness or nutrition experts. Even a psychology expert. While SLNA only has 1 doctor and caregiver.

Football is developing day by day, becoming more and more different, teams and national teams are approaching many modern methods. So if SLNA does not change, boldly invest and maintain traditional training methods, it will be very difficult for SLNA to catch up with its opponents./.
