Revealing the SLNA squad for the 2020 season: Phan Van Duc reunites with Pham Xuan Manh

In the goalkeeper position, SLNA, in addition to Tran Van Tien and Le Van Hung, also has a quality addition, goalkeeper Nguyen Van Hoang. The goalkeeper born in 1995 is a key factor of Saigon Club with a height of 1m86 and proven expertise, he is a bright candidate for the goalkeeper position left by Captain Nguyen Manh.

In defense, SLNA still has 2 quality central defenders, Pham The Nhat and Hoang Van Khanh. If The Nhat has experience and effective playing style, Van Khanh is also a player who has 5 seasons of experience in the V.League. Besides, it is likely that the Nghe An team will choose a foreign player to play in this position.

With the return of Vo Ngoc Duc, the left wing of SLNA's defense system will have more options. Meanwhile, on the opposite wing, Dinh Dong and Sy Nam are also not bad options. In addition, Pham Xuan Manh also often plays in this position.

In the central midfield position, SLNA will likely revolve around players such as Ho Sy Sam, Vuong Quoc Trung (returning from Thanh Hoa Club), young players Nguyen Van Duc, Bui Dinh Chau... It is not impossible that the Nghe An team will also look for a foreign player to play in the center of midfield.

In particular, the return of Phan Van Duc will help SLNA's wings witness the reunion of the duo Van Duc - Xuan Manh who once "made waves" in the national teams and V.League. Besides, other players such as Cao Xuan Thang and young factors are also ready to test their skills.
