Looking back at the performance of newcomer Song Lam Nghe An

Of course, Sebastian Zaracho's red card in the opening match against SHB Da Nang deserved criticism. This was because it was an overly aggressive tackle that resulted in...Nghe An teamThey had to play with a man down.

However, the fans' criticism of his performance in the recent match against Nam Dinh Steel was perhaps too harsh. Especially in the first half, the Paraguayan center-back played well. Sebastian Zaracho made four interceptions. One of them involved a crucial tackle in the opponent's half, resulting in a dangerous free kick for Song Lam Nghe An.

In the first goal conceded by the Nghe An team,Sebastian ZarachoHe was the one who directed his teammates to push forward to set an offside trap. Unfortunately, the younger teammates didn't advance in time, causing the trap to spring at the wrong moment.

The situation leading to the penalty at the beginning of the second half was one where Sebastian Zaracho was unlucky. The ball hit the defender wearing number 15 before touching his hand. Furthermore, his hand was naturally extended to maintain balance after jumping to contest the ball with Nguyen Xuan Son. Therefore, this was an unintentional mistake by Sebastian Zaracho, and fans should be understanding towards the defender in this situation.

Furthermore, the Paraguayan center-back was also unlucky as Song Lam Nghe An's defense lacked its best players. This forced the coaching staff of the Nghe An team to deploy Sebastian Zaracho in the center of a three-man defense.

This is not the Paraguayan player's preferred position. The player wearing number 15 doesn't have very good overall positioning. Furthermore, his ability to connect with teammates isn't great, making Sebastian Zaracho unsuitable for playing in the center of the defense and leading the back line.

The Paraguayan player's preferred and most suitable position is left-sided center-back. This is a position where Sebastian Zaracho can freely push forward to intercept the ball or advance like a full-back. This will help the left flank of the Nghe An team not only defend solidly but also attack more effectively.

In the near future, when center-backs Le Nguyen Hoang and Le Van Thanh fully recover from their injuries, Sebastian Zaracho will most likely be restored to his preferred position. Therefore, fans in Nghe An should be patient and give Sebastian Zaracho a little more time to prove himself. Then, the Nghe An defense will be strengthened.Lam River, Nghe AnThis promises to be more reliable and bring better results for the home team.
