Coach Phan Nhu Thuat was satisfied with his players' performance in the match against Binh Dinh.

Speaking at the post-match press conference, coach Phan Nhu Thuat did not forget to thank the fans after Song Lam Nghe An's first victory in the new year of Giap Thin.

“I would like to thank all the fans who came to cheer for Song Lam Nghe An. It was a great encouragement for the whole team. And this victory is the gratitude of the players to the home fans” - coach Phan Nhu Thuat shared.

In this match, Song Lam Nghe An players showed their enthusiastic fighting spirit true to the identity of Nghe An football.

“I am satisfied with the fighting spirit of my students in this match. All the players entered the field with solidarity, desire and confidence, that is the key to help Song Lam Nghe An win when facing the team ranked 3rd on the rankings."

Also in this match, the captaincy was given to Olaha. Mr. Thuat shared the reason for this decision: “Olaha has devoted many years to Song Lam Nghe An. He is very exemplary in both life and competition, that is why I think Olaha deserves to be given the captaincy of the team.”

The Nghe An coach added: "In this match, Olaha did not score but played enthusiastically and from that spirit, the whole team played better."

The highlight of the victory of the Nghe An team in round 9 was that the team changed their familiar formation from 3-5-2 to 4-4-2. That helped the Nghe An team play more diversely and made it harder for opponents to predict.

Talking about the reason for the change in tactics, Head Coach of Song Lam Nghe An shared: “During the break, I researched and decided to change the team formation to better suit the team’s current personnel. And that helped Song Lam Nghe An play better offense and defense in the reception of Binh Dinh at Vinh Stadium”./.
