Expectations for coach Van Sy Son's signature moves
Song Lam Nghe An is in dire need of changes to improve its playing style and performance. Coach Van Sy Son is expected to be a breath of fresh air, bringing about a transformation for the team. With his strengths, the coach born in 1972 will significantly improve Song Lam Nghe An's playing style in the near future.
After parting with coach Phan Nhu Thuat,Lam River Nghe Anhas officially appointed Van Sy Son as the new captain. With a strong personality and fiery spirit, the coach born in 1972 is expected to breathe new life into the Nghe An team - which is in dire need of a boost in both spirit and expertise to return to its rightful position in the V.League.
Above all, the first bright spot that Song Lam Nghe An fans expect from Van Sy Son is fighting spirit. This is a quality that once made the brand of the Nghe team but has gradually faded in recent seasons. With the fire in his coaching style and his familiar enthusiasm, coach Van Sy Son promises to rekindle the fiery competitive spirit inherent in Song Lam Nghe An. And once playing with the highest spirit, the Nghe team will at least become a tough opponent for any big team in V.League.
Tactically, it is clearly impossible to demand a breakthrough change in just a few short days. However, the distinctive professional marks ofCoach Van Sy Son- once shown at Quang Nam Club can completely bring positive signals to Song Lam Nghe An in the coming time.
The first strength is the ability to take advantage of set pieces. Under coach Van Sy Son, Quang Nam Club used to be one of the most effective teams in scoring goals from dead ball situations. From direct free kicks, corner kicks to throw-ins, he turned them all into powerful weapons in his playing style. Many times, valuable goals of the Quang Nam team came from those seemingly simple moves. Therefore, Song Lam Nghe An fans have the right to expect significant improvement in this aspect, which has been the team's inherent weakness in recent times.
Another tactic that promises to be brought to Vinh Stadium is the fast counter-attacking style of play. This is also a specialty that the 53-year-old coach has successfully built at Quang Nam Club. During his time in charge, the Quang Nam team always organized counter-attacks very quickly, neatly, with few touches and decisively. The ball was often brought up after just a few simple passes, taking advantage of the speed and physique of foreign players to create clear opportunities. However, the efficiency of converting opportunities is still a painful problem, when the wastefulness in finishing still exists - something that coach Van Sy Son needs to improve if he wants to help Song Lam Nghe An achieve better results.
The fact that V.League is on hiatus to make way for the national team matches is a valuable time for the new coach to get acquainted with his players. Understanding each individual and correctly assessing their strengths and weaknesses will help coach Van Sy Son arrange suitable personnel and from there build the most optimal tactical system.
At the age of 53, Van Sy Son is not a strange name in the domestic football world. He was a famous right-back in the golden age of Song Lam Nghe An, and worked as an assistant at Hanoi FC - the most successful football team.V.League, and also spent a long time as head coach at Quang Nam Club, he clearly understands the pressure and expectations that a traditional team like Song Lam Nghe An places on him.
With what has been shown in the past, Nghe An fans have every reason to believe that coach Van Sy Son will not only bring a new spirit, but also fan the fighting spirit that has been a symbol of Nghe An football for decades.
Hopefully, this will be a successful return for the son of Song Lam Nghe An.
