Analyzing the reasons for Song Lam Nghe An's failure.
Coach Pham Anh Tuan and his team suffered their first defeat of the season. So, what were the reasons for this loss?
Hoang Anh Gia Lai is in good form.
First of all, we must acknowledge the team.Hoang Anh Gia LaiCoach Vu Tien Thanh's team is currently in excellent form. Under the guidance of this coach born in 1964, the team from Pleiku no longer plays naively as before. Instead, they adjust their tactics at every moment, leaving their opponents unable to react.
The two recent defeats of the Nghe An team against Hoang Anh Gia Lai are a prime example. They were willing to concede control of the game in the opening minutes (even playing at Pleiku Stadium) to make their opponents complacent, then suddenly counter-attack, catching their prey off guard. Even in the opening match, Quang Nam Club was a victim of this style of play.
Furthermore, under coach Vu Tien Thanh, Hoang Anh Gia Lai is particularly dangerous in attacking situations from the flanks and set pieces. Most of the team's goals this season have come from the wings, with 3 out of 6 goals coming from aerial balls.
It can be said that Mr. Duc's team has at least one well-developed attacking strategy that makes other teams wary. And that is the primary reason for Song Lam Nghe An's defeat in Pleiku.
What does the Nghe An team have to offer?
Conversely, Song Lam Nghe An lacked any clear attacking moves in their last two matches. Attacks down the flanks, through the center, or set pieces... were all lackluster. Perhaps the most notable moment was Le Dinh Long Vu's individual effort to cross the ball into the box for Benjamin Kuku to finish.
It can be said that the team from Nghe An province can only rely on long passes over the top for their forwards to create chances. With this style of play, it is very difficult for Song Lam Nghe An to find a goal, let alone win. Therefore, if they do not change their playing style in time, it will be very dangerous for coach Pham Anh Tuan and the team from Nghe An province this season, even though the V.League has only gone through 2 rounds.
Not being well-prepared.
It must also be admitted that coach Pham Anh Tuan has been unlucky. For a very long time now,Lam River, Nghe AnHe hasn't been able to field his strongest team yet. Injuries and suspensions have prevented this coach, born in 1970, from having his ideal players.
In addition, there's the issue of physical fitness. In the recent match, apart from the two foreign players, the domestic players were almost completely outmatched in one-on-one challenges against the home team. Even Chau Ngoc Quang, a player who is only 1.69m tall, was able to win an aerial duel to score the opening goal. The same was true for Minh Vuong and Tran Bao Toan.

Furthermore, the poor preparation of the Nghe An team was evident in the players' repeated slips and falls in the early minutes of the match. It can be said that, with many key players missing and inadequate preparation, the defeat against Hoang Anh Gia Lai was entirely understandable for Song Lam Nghe An.
Looking ahead, Song Lam Nghe An will face a tough match against Hong Linh Ha Tinh. Their neighboring team is in excellent form after two consecutive victories. Therefore, Song Lam Nghe An's squad will be a tough opponent.Coach Pham Anh TuanThorough preparation is necessary if you want to achieve a good result at home.
