Foreign player abandoned by Song Lam Nghe An scores points at Long An Club

(Baonghean.vn) - It is not impossible that foreign player Henry, who played for SLNA in the first leg of V.League 2017, will become an opponent of the Nghe An team in the near future.

Henry Shackiel and Olaha Micheal beat out more than 20 other players to join SLNA. However, due to financial constraints, the Nghe An team could only sign a 1-year loan contract with Olaha and a half-year contract with Henry.

However, while Olaha is too unlucky with goals, the player born in 1994, Henry, shows the ability to seize opportunities quite sharply. In the first 7 rounds, this striker has scored 6 goals for SLNA. This player himself also sets the goal of becoming one of the top scorers in V.League 2017.

However, from March, round 8 onwards, the player playing in the center forward position had a strange decline in performance. Later, when Henry left SLNA after the first leg, it was discovered that not being retained by SLNA had caused this player to "give up" his gun early and no longer have the motivation to play.

Not having his contract renewed by SLNA, striker Henry Shackiel returned to his homeland. Currently, the Trinidad & Tobago player is on trial at Long An Club.

And according to the investigation of Nghe An Newspaper reporter, Henry is having an impressive performance at Long An Club headquarters. In the friendly match at Ben Luc Stadium, this foreign player showed his agility and good dribbling. He scored 1 goal and 1 assist for his teammates to score.

Mr. Tran Anh Tuan, Chairman of Long An Fan Club said: “I really like this player! I don’t understand why SLNA parted ways with this player. However, Coach Minh Phuong said he needs more time for a trial because Long An still has other players to welcome...”

This is not surprising. After half a season playing in the V.League, the striker's ability to integrate with Vietnamese football and his proven level will certainly make Long An Club not need to consider much.

Not only Long An, if Henry wears the shirt of another team in V.League to face SLNA, it will really be an unpredictable danger for the Nghe team if looking at the performance of this striker at the beginning of the season at Vinh stadium.

Necessity makes wisdom. If SLNA had good financial conditions, they would have been more determined to keep the players they had worked hard to find like Abass or Fagan in Hai Phong's colors.
