Hong Linh Ha Tinh and surprises before the new season

In the recent Thien Long Cup friendly tournament, Hong Linh Ha Tinh registered 3 foreign players Lucas Larade, Onoja Joseph and Michael Ibe. In which, midfielder Onoja Joseph played quite well for Becamex Binh Duong last season, and Michael Ibe is also a well-rounded midfielder when he scored 10 goals and 4 assists last season.

But the most prominent is still center back Lucas Larade. This player born in 1999 is a Martinique national team player and has played for many famous clubs such as Monaco (U21), Cercle Brugge (Belgium).

With these additions, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's team played quite well, winning 2 matches and losing 2 matches, finishing 3rd overall. It was thought that this result would help the above foreign players to be selected to enter the new season with Hong Linh Ha Tinh.

However, in recent days, the Nui Hong football team has made fans go from one surprise to another. First, they successfully borrowed striker Geovane Magno from Hanoi Police. This Brazilian player has proven his name in Vietnam in the colors of Saigon Club, The Cong Viettel, Hanoi Club or Hanoi Police. After 102 matches in the S-shaped land, Geovane Magno has scored 32 goals and 30 assists, a very impressive number.

Not only that, this player born in 1994 is also quite versatile as he can play in many positions in midfield as well as attack. Therefore, this is an option that brings many choices for coach Nguyen Thanh Cong in the new season.

For that reason, Hong Linh Ha Tinh continued to recruit another striker. That is Noel Mbo, a 1m85 tall English player. This player born in 1999 has played and scored in the qualifying rounds of top European tournaments such as the Champions League or Uefa Conference League. However, Noel Mbo's scoring record is not too impressive. After 119 matches, this 25-year-old striker has only scored 20 goals and 9 assists.

However, with these two surprising contracts, Hong Linh Ha Tinh is somewhat assured about its attack line. And it is expected that in the near future, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's team will continue to add new faces to prepare for the 2024/2025 season.
