Identifying the host B.Binh Duong before the match against SLNA

Owner rarely changes

With only 5 new recruits, including 2 domestic players, defenders Uong Ngoc Tien and Le Van Dai, it shows thatB. Binh Duongnot very ambitious. The frequent change of head coach position makes the team that has won the V.League 4 times lack the necessary stability. Coach Dang Tran Chinh has been attached to Go Dau stadium for more than a decade and is sitting in the technical cabin to direct the team for the 5th time, but he is considered more of a manager than a professional.

After a long period of trialing many foreign strikers, Coach Dang Tran Chinh signed contracts with 3 faces, including: Defender Ndiaye Olivier, striker Eydison Teofilo and midfielder Abdoul Abass. These are 3 completely new foreign recruits of the team in the 2022 season, the most expected is still the Brazilian striker Eydison Teofilo who scored 6 goals for Than Quang Ninh last year. This 33-year-old player has played for Da Nang, Long An, Than Quang Ninh, has an energetic playing style, sweeps and presses well in one-on-one situations.

Obviously, to fight against SLNA, coach Dang Tran Chinh still has to rely on the framework with key names such as To Van Vu, Tien Linh, Trong Huy, Thanh Thao or Tong Anh Ty, in which winger, captain To Van Vu and striker Tien Linh are the names that coach Huy Hoang must remember.

If during the time of coach Phan Thanh Hung, Binh Duong often played with a 4-3-3 formation, coach Dang Tran Chinh preferred a 4-2-3-1 formation, at which time To Van Vu, Tien Linh, and Eydison Teofilo were the attacking triangle of the home team. The naturalized player of Truong An (SLNA) will have a fateful confrontation with his compatriot Eydison Teofilo, who will be deployed quite widely as the second attacking spearhead of the team from Thu Dau Mot.

After giving up the title of "Chelsea of ​​Vietnam", B.Binh Duong has focused more on youth training and the first team has used quite a few young players. To prepare for the 2022 V.League season when there is not much money to buy famous players, Coach Dang Tran Chinh has promoted many young players to the first team. Some famous football names in Thu Dau Mot such as Trung Hau, Minh Khoa, Tu Nhan, Vi Hao or Van Bin have somewhat won the trust of the coaching staff when given the opportunity to show themselves in two friendly tournaments and a series of matches to prepare for the 2022 season.

Who will get the points?

With the registration of up to 34 players, Coach Dang Tran Chinh has plenty of options for the first match of the season against SLNA, the team aiming for the top 3 of V.League 2022. B.Binh Duong does not hide their ambition to win all 3 points at Go Dau Stadium because after that they have 2 away matches against Thanh Hoa and Ho Chi Minh City, it is not easy to get points.

Meanwhile, this is the match SLNA debuted with the Southern Nghe An audience after having a new sponsor, so they really need points. Not to mention, with the epidemic situation in Vinh, it is likely that in the 2 matches against Binh Dinh, HAGL will have to play without spectators, which will be difficult. This makes SLNA's coaching staff even more determined to get 3 points right on the opponent's field as a gift to the Southern Nghe An audience.

In theory, the away team SLNA is rated higher, but coach Huy Hoang must prove it with a goal. For a long time, SLNA has only been strong when playing defensive counter-attacks. Will they be able to change their playing style when they bring in a series of famous players?

It is known that the Nghe An team will not have the services of Nguyen Trong Hoang and Bui Dinh Chau in the match against B.Binh Duong, taking place on the afternoon of February 25.
