Khac Ngoc and Van Khanh return to Song Lam Nghe An: Both advantages and disadvantages.
The return of Khac Ngoc and Van Khanh is crucial for the Nghe An team. While there are many advantages, there are also many difficulties awaiting this veteran duo.
They both came through the same training academy.Lam River, Nghe AnHaving dedicated many years to the Nghe An team, Ho Khac Ngoc and Hoang Van Khanh will surely adapt quickly to the living environment and playing style.
Currently, the Nghe An team is lacking quality players in defense and midfield. Therefore, with their experience and good qualities, this duo will quickly find regular positions in the lineup and become pillars of Song Lam Nghe An for the remainder of the season.
In addition, with the opportunity to compete in his hometown, Ho Khac Ngoc andHoang Van KhanhThey will get to spend more time with their families. This will be a very valuable source of moral support for the duo to perform better.
It can be said that the reunion between Song Lam Nghe An and the duo Hoang Van Khanh and Ho Khac Ngoc is a fortunate coincidence for all parties involved.
However, to best utilize the qualities of this duo, the Nghe An team also needs to make appropriate changes to complement Hoang Van Khanh and Ho Khac Ngoc.
First, it's necessary to find a quality foreign center-back to support Hoang Van Khanh. The 1995-born center-back's strengths lie in his excellent situational awareness and positioning. However, in one-on-one duels with foreign strikers, Hoang Van Khanh often finds himself at a disadvantage. Therefore, a quality foreign center-back is needed to assist Hoang Van Khanh in marking foreign players in opposing teams' attacking lines.
Midfielder Ho Khac Ngoc also lacks strong tackling ability. This is because the 1992-born midfielder tends to be more attack-oriented than defensive. Therefore, to give Ho Khac Ngoc the best playing environment, Song Lam Nghe An needs "workhorses" to recover the ball and clean up in the midfield to support the 32-year-old midfielder.
If Phan Bá Quyền is in top form, Hồ Khắc Ngọc can confidently showcase his creative abilities. Meanwhile, Nguyễn Quang Vinh's passionate playing style will be a very timely complement to his senior teammate.
In addition, both Ho Khac Ngoc and Hoang Van Khanh do not have very good physical fitness. This is especially true for Ho Khac Ngoc, as the midfielder is already 32 years old.
To maximize the effectiveness of this duo, coach Phan Như Thuật needs to have a sensible plan for their use. This will not only help Song Lam Nghe An achieve good results but also help Ho Khac Ngoc and Hoang Van Khanh avoid unnecessary injuries due to overwork. Especially since these two former players of Thep Xanh Nam Dinh are also quite susceptible to injuries.
Hopefully,Ho Khac NgocAnd Hoang Van Khanh will make the best use of his qualities to help Song Lam Nghe An perform better in the remainder of the season, thereby achieving the goal of avoiding relegation this season.
