Nam Dinh - SLNA: Shine, Vinicius!
(Baonghean.vn) - Without Olaha, SLNA's attacking power in the match against Nam Dinh will depend heavily on the ability of the new Brazilian player.
Arriving at Vinh Stadium in the mid-season transfer window of 2019, Vinicius immediately became the most important "card" of the SLNA coaching staff. In the last 4 matches of the Nghe An team, the striker born in 1994 appeared in the starting lineup and played the full 360 minutes.
However, with only 1 goal up to this point (a successful penalty kick in the match against Saigon), Vinicius has not been able to meet the expectations of coach Nguyen Duc Thang and Nghe An fans for him. The 25-year-old player himself has also had to admit the difficulties in the early days in the new environment.

Vinicius shared: "The hot weather is also an obstacle, very different from in Ho Chi Minh City, but it is not too big a problem. The important thing is that I can adapt. In the first match I felt difficult, but now I feel better.
In terms of playing style, each team has a different style of play. So now I have to adapt to SLNA's playing style. SLNA's playing style is also normal, not too difficult to integrate. Now I am more confident and more adapted than the first and second matches."
In the upcoming match against Nam Dinh, the burden of the away team's attack will be placed on the shoulders of the former striker of Ho Chi Minh City and Than Quang Ninh. Besides the task of scoring goals, Vinicius also has to attract the opponent's defenders to create spaces and delicious opportunities for his teammates around him.
Before joining SLNA, in the colors of Ho Chi Minh City and especially in the colors of Than Quang Ninh, Vinicius has proven to be a dangerous foreign striker. Possessing an ideal height (1m85), the ability to choose smart positions and diverse finishing, the player born in 1994 was one of the most dangerous strikers in last season. 9 goals for the mining team in V.League 2018 and 6 goals for Ho Chi Minh City in the first leg of V.League 2019 are clear proof.
There is a saying that "hardship reveals the true face of a hero". In SLNA's current difficult situation, more than anyone else, Vinicius must be the one to shine to help his team leave Thien Truong Stadium with points in hand. This is an opportunity for the Brazilian striker to prove his inherent ability./.
