1. Goalkeeper Nguyen Van Hoang

As one of the best goalkeepers in the first leg of V.League 2022, the goalkeeper from Tan Ky played in 11/12 matches, including 7 clean sheets and conceding 7 goals. Van Hoang's solidity is the mainstay of the Nghe An team's defense.

2. Center back Que Ngoc Hai

Ngoc Hai proved his leadership role in the defense, he, Van Khanh, Ba Sang created a solid wall to protect goalkeeper Van Hoang's goal. Besides, the long passes and the attacking situations of the Dien Chau central defender are very remarkable. After 12 matches,Que Ngoc Haiscored a goal from a beautiful free kick in the match against Topenland Binh Dinh.

3. Center back Hoang Van Khanh

Player Hoang Van Khanh.

As one of the three central defenders regularly used by coach Huy Hoang in the first leg of this season, Van Khanh generally played quite well, he also contributed 1 goal in the match against Hai Phong Club. However, there were times when Van Khanh still made fatal mistakes, typically the match against SHB Da Nang - one of Van Khanh's worst matches in the first leg of V.League 2022.

4. Tran Dinh Hoang

The defender born in 1991 played quite well in the role of right-back of Song Lam Nghe An. Besides covering well for the central defenders, Dinh Hoang also actively participated in the attack. The dark spot of the player born in Vinh city was the red card in the match against Ho Chi Minh City.

5. Thai Ba Sang

Player Thai Ba Sang.

Played 11/12 matches,Ba Sangdemonstrated remarkable progress this season. With his intelligent and determined playing style, the player born in 1999 has won the full trust of the coaching staff of the Nghe An team.

6. Mai Sy Hoang

Starting to play from round 3 of V.League, since then, this young player from Dien Chau has gradually taken over the starting position of his senior Dinh Dong. With the ability to attack and defend tirelessly, Sy Hoang is a quality striker on the left wing. 1 goal, 2 assists show the danger of this player wearing shirt number 79. However, due toSy HoangMany times, Song Lam Nghe An's left wing was too busy participating in the attack, so it was a weak point for opponents to exploit.

7. Pham Xuan Manh

In the first rounds of the season, Pham Xuan Manh was arranged to play as a left midfielder. After the injury of foreign player O'Jong Mark, this midfielder from Yen Thanh was pulled into the position of anchor midfielder. In any position on the field, Xuan Manh completed the tasks assigned by the coaching staff very well. He is one of the interesting discoveries of coach Huy Hoang. In addition, after 12 matches at V.League 2022, Xuan Manh also had time to score twice on the scoreboard thanks to his dangerous headers.

8. Dinh Xuan Tien

As one of the most progressive young players of Song Lam Nghe An this season, although only 19 years old, Xuan Tien has been used by coach Huy Hoang in 7 matches at V.League 2022. With his enthusiastic and confident playing style, Xuan Tien is one of the hopes of the Nghe team in the near future. However, with the appearance of foreign player Mario, Dinh Xuan Tien must try very hard to win a place in the main squad in the second leg.

9. Phan Van Duc

Still one of the most energetic players on the attack, Phan Van Duc made his mark this season with two great goals against Hoang Anh Gia Lai and Hai Phong Club. However, watching Van Duc play, it feels like his physical strength is still the weak point of this national player. If Van Duc does not overcome this weakness soon, Song Lam Nghe An will find it difficult to make a breakthrough in the final minutes of the match.

10. Olaha

10 matches with 2 goals and 2 assists, however, this is not a number that meets the expectations of Nghe An fans. In addition, the red card in the match against Hanoi Club is a minus point for Olaha's performance in the first leg of this season. However, with the ability to operate widely in the attack and actively participate in supporting the defense, this Nigerian striker is still an important card of coach Huy Hoang. HopefullyMichael Olahawill play more explosively in the second leg of V.League 2022.

11. Oseni

After the first few extremely successful matches with 3 goals and 1 assist, the recent roundsOsenisigns of slowing down. The Nigerian striker has been silent in the last 5 matches, a disappointing streak. If this continues, the possibility of Oseni losing his starting position to younger players is entirely possible. Hopefully, Oseni will soon regain his form and prove himself a formidable goalscorer in the V.League.

12. Substitute players

Among the reserve players this season, the most prominent is probably defender Pham The Nhat, this 31-year-old player from Hung Nguyen has played quite well when replacing Ba Sang or Hoang Van Khanh.

Defenders Pham The Nhat, Ho Van Cuong and Pham Dinh Tien.

Besides,Ho Van Cuongis also one of the players who left an impression when coming off the bench. Speed ​​and good crossing ability are among the strengths of the young defender from Quynh Luu. However, Van Cuong needs to improve his defensive ability more.

Another player that cannot be ignored is Tran Dinh Tien. Although he has not played much, whenever he is on the field, Dinh Tien plays very aggressively. The super goal against Nam Dinh is one of the goals of the Hoang Mai native's life. Hopefully in the return leg, Dinh Tien will be used more often by coach Huy Hoang.

With the 2nd position on the rankings, the Nghe An team has clearly made many remarkable efforts. Hopefully, Song Lam Nghe An will continue to promote its strengths, overcome its weaknesses to achieve better results in the second leg of V.League 2022.
