'Dissecting' SLNA's opening match at V.League 2020
(Baonghean.vn) - The latest match of round 1 - V.League 2020 took place in front of the National Team's head coach, but the quality of the match and the situation created by both teams did not bring satisfaction to both coach Park and the fans.
1.Test failed
Putting Quang Tinh on the bench, Coach Ngo Quang Truong tested Van Lam - Dinh Chau to control the central area. In the first half, this young midfielder duo could not help SLNA control the game. Apart from a few outstanding situations that Dinh Chau created with quite fierce interceptions, the quality of the passes of this duo was very low.

2.Foreign soldiers worries
Witnessing the performance of the foreign players on the SLNA attack line at Thong Nhat Stadium today, Nghe An fans could not help but worry about the Vinh team this season. The first half witnessed the foreign striker duo of SLNA playing out of place, lacking cohesion and enthusiasm. While Peter Samuel had a few notable situations in the first half of the second half, his partner Alagie Sossen was almost "invisible" throughout the match.

3.Phan Van Duc's bright spot
After a long time struggling with injury, Phan Van Duc returned from the first match of V.League 2020 from the bench of SLNA. Witnessing the deadlock in the attack of his students in the first half, as soon as the match started, Coach Ngo Quang Truong sent Van Duc onto the field to replace Cao Xuan Thang.

4.Van Khanh plays steadily
SLNA’s new captain had a pretty good match on the day that coach Park Hang-seo came to watch the match. Together with his new partner Gustavo, Van Khanh played steadily, made no mistakes and neutralized some of SGFC’s dangerous attacks in the match.

5.The match was of low professional quality.
The match between SGFC and SLNA was the only match of round 1 – V.League 2020 that had no goals scored. While the home team’s attack only had a few shots on target, the away team SLNA was not much better.
