'Dissecting' SLNA's foreign players: When will there be a breakthrough?
(Baonghean.vn) - After the first 3 matches of V.League 2020, only center-back Gustavo Santos satisfied Nghe An football fans.
Witnessing the performance of the striker duo Peter Onyekachi - Alagie Sosseh in recent matches, especially in the match against SHB Da Nang (1 - 0), on June 6, experts and football fans of Nghe An are feeling extremely disappointed. They play like amateur players, despite receiving salaries in foreign currency.
Instead of shouldering the attack, Peter Onyekachi and Alagie Sosseh have become a burden for their teammates, domestic players, and even young players. The proof is that up to now, the two foreign players mentioned above have not had a single goal or assist for the Vinh team. That is also the reason why SLNA is one of the teams with the least effective attack in V.League 2020 (2 goals).

However, Peter Onyekachi still left some impression with his aggressiveness, unlike the case of Alagie Sosseh, one of SLNA's worst foreign players ever.
Clumsy, slow and harmless are all the qualities that the player wearing the number 9 shirt has shown. Apart from his long hair and massive body (1m88 tall, 91kg), Alagie Sosseh has no more points than the domestic players that coach Ngo Quang Truong currently owns.

I wonder when the Vinh stadium stands will stop letting out sighs of boredom every time the home team's foreign players touch the ball?
