Song Lam Nghe An's 2023 season statistics

1. Ranked 9th in V.League 2023

The Nghe An team failed to achieve the target set at the beginning of the season when they only finished 9th in the final rankings. This result stemmed from the slow start of theLam River Nghe An. After the first 6 rounds, coach Huy Hoang's team only had 5 draws and 1 loss despite a favorable schedule. It was not until round 7 that Song Lam Nghe An had their first win against Hoang Anh Gia Lai.

It was thought that this victory would help coach Huy Hoang and his team play better, but they only got 1 point in the next 3 matches. This contributed to coach Huy Hoang having to withdraw from the head coach position of Nghe An Club.

Fortunately, the new Coaching Board of Song Lam Nghe An has brought a breath of fresh air to help the Nghe An team play better and better. A series of 4 consecutive unbeaten matches (3 wins, 1 draw) has helped coach Phan Nhu Thuat and his team stay in the league with 4 rounds to go.

Despite some mishaps in the final matches due to experimenting with many young players in the squad, Song Lam Nghe An still had 2 wins to finish the season in 9th place. After 18 matches, Song Lam Nghe An had 6 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses. Of which, the Nghe team scored 19 goals and conceded 20 goals.

In addition, Song Lam Nghe An is one of the most Fair Play teams in V.League when it only received 24 yellow cards and 0 red cards this season. Obviously, this is a very proud achievement of the Nghe team.

Hopefully, with the innovations underCoach Phan Nhu Thuatwill help Song Lam Nghe An achieve more outstanding results in the 2023-2024 season.

2. Outstanding individuals

Despite an unsuccessful season, the Nghe An team still has many outstanding individuals who left a mark in the hearts of fans. That is the veteran duo Que Ngoc Hai and Nguyen Trong Hoang. This duo contributed to the solidity of Song Lam Nghe An's defense. Along with that, the understanding of Que Ngoc Hai and Trong Hoang helped the Nghe An team have dangerous attacks on the right wing. In the new season, the duo Que Ngoc Hai and Nguyen Trong Hoang will certainly still be a solid support for the young players of Song Lam Nghe An.

Along with Que Ngoc Hai and Nguyen Trong Hoang, Pham Xuan Manh also had a pretty excellent season. His strong physical foundation and good personal technique helped this midfielder from Yen Thanh to control the midfield of Song Lam Nghe An. In addition, with 5 assists for his teammates to score, Pham Xuan Manh is the player with the most assists for the Nghe An team this season.

The two leaders in the number of goals scored for Song Lam Nghe An in V.League 2023 are the foreign duo Soladio and Olaha. Both of these foreign strikers have scored 5 goals after the past matches in V.League. However, these numbers cannot meet the expectations of fans, especially striker Soladio. The Belgian player has played quite actively in the attack, but his lack of luck is easy to see when he often misses good opportunities. Hopefully, in the new season, Song Lam Nghe An will find quality foreign players to complete the squad.

Meanwhile, with 4 goals scored, Dinh Xuan Tien is the domestic player who has scored the most goals for Song Lam Nghe An. Although the start of the season was not as expected due to injury, but with his efforts, Dinh Xuan Tien has gradually regained his form to help the Nghe team stay in the league soon. In addition, this young midfielder born in 2003 is also often called up toVietnam youth teamsto compete in regional and continental tournaments. It can be said that the 2023 season is a memorable season for Dinh Xuan Tien personally.

Another name that also had an unforgettable season is goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet. This young goalkeeper born in 2002 has made great strides to compete for a starting position with his seniors. In the last V.League season, Nguyen Van Viet played 7 times for the Nghe An team. With his excellent reflexes and ability to enter and exit properly, this 21-year-old goalkeeper is gradually gaining the trust of the Song Lam Nghe An Coaching Board. And it is that excellence that has helpedNguyen Van Vietwas named in the list of Vietnam U23 team to prepare for the Southeast Asian U23 Tournament. Hopefully, goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet will maintain his form to play better in the new season.

In addition to the prominent names mentioned above, young players such as Ho Van Cuong, Vuong Van Huy, Tran Nam Hai or Tran Manh Quynh... also had a quite impressive season. Hopefully, these young players will continue to make progress in the coming time to bring success to Song Lam Nghe An in the 2023-2024 season.
