Song Lam Nghe An's foreign players all cut their hair hoping for a change of luck.

(Baonghean.vn) - Determined to find a fresh look ahead of the match against Long An in round 8 at Vinh Stadium, both Baba Salia and teammate Odah Marshal went to get haircuts.

After 7 matches, although striker Baba Salia has played reasonably well and created many opportunities for his teammates, his lack of finishing ability and bad luck has prevented the Ivorian from scoring a single goal.

Salia's incredibly regrettable miss in the match against HAGL has landed both SLNA strikers on the list of the most unbelievable misses in V.League 2016. Prior to that was Odah's one-on-one opportunity with an empty net in the match against B. Binh Duong. The Nigerian striker, born in 1992, despite scoring 5 out of 7 goals for SLNA, had a rather lackluster performance against HAGL.

Determined to find a fresh look ahead of their match against Long An in round 8 at Vinh Stadium, Baba Salia and his teammate Odah Marshal went to get haircuts. They visited one of the most famous barbershops in Vinh City, and Odah Marshal's haircut alone cost him 500,000 dong. Salia said he was quite satisfied with the new hairstyle and hoped luck wouldn't turn its back on him in the upcoming matches.

SLNA's two foreign players showed off their new hairstyles in the hope of attracting more luck.

Besides having a slight advantage in terms of personnel in this afternoon's match (May 1st) due to Long An missing too many key players, SLNA also usually has good luck whenever they face this team, even during the most difficult times.

Another interesting detail is that the referee for this afternoon's match is Mr. Hoang Anh Tuan. He's a referee who often brings good luck to SLNA, and the team from Nghe An usually gets good results whenever he's in charge.
