The decisive confrontations in the match between Song Lam Nghe An and Thep Xanh Nam Dinh
(Baonghean.vn) - Facing a star-studded team like Nam Dinh Steel Club will be a big challenge for coach Phan Nhu Thuat and his team. And to get a good result, Song Lam Nghe An players will have to try their best to neutralize those stars.
Mario Zebic and Rafaelson
This is not the first time the Croatian midfielder has had to face top foreign strikers in the V.League, but Rafaelson is perhaps the toughest challenge Mario Zebic has faced.
The Brazilian striker has 13 goals and 4 assists in 11 matches. The terrible performance of the best foreign player in 2023 has helpedNam Dinh Green Steelfirmly in the number 1 position on the V.League rankings.
Rafaelson's speed, technique and diverse scoring ability will be a difficult problem for Mario Zebic. And only the excellence of this central defender wearing the number 95 shirt can help Song Lam Nghe An prevent the terrifying scoring efficiency of the Brazilian striker, thereby achieving a favorable result against the team from Thanh Nam.
Pham Ba Quyen and Hendrio Araujo
If Rafaelson is the number 1 scorer of Nam Dinh Steel Blue, then Hendrio Araujo is the "magician" in the playing style of coach Vu Hong Viet's team. The technique, creativity and free kicks of this player who grew up in the famous La Masia training center are extremely dangerous weapons of the Thanh Nam team.
5 goals, 4 assists are the numbers that speak to the danger of Hendrio Araujo. Therefore, the Nghe An team will have to have specific plans to stop the number 10 of the Nam Dinh Steel Blue.
That task will most likely be given to Phan Ba Quyen, who also did a very good job in the match against MerryLand Quy Nhon Binh Dinh. In the confrontation with Leonardo Artur, this midfielder wearing the number 19 shirt did not give the player of the team from the land of Vo much room to perform, thereby helping Song Lam Nghe An have a convincing victory with a score of 2-0. Hopefully, Phan Ba Quyen will once again shine to lock down the dangerous explosive Hendrio Araujo of the side of the Nam Dinh Steel Blue.
Vuong Van Huy and Nguyen Van Toan
Both possess very good speed, so the competition between Vuong Van Huy and Nguyen Van Toan is worth watching. Of course, fans will rate the striker of the Vietnam National Team much higher.
The 27-year-old striker is in good form for Nam Dinh Blue Steel. In 11 matches, the number 9 of the Southern team has scored 4 goals and 3 assists. Most recently, Nguyen Van Toan scored 1 goal in a thrilling 3-2 victory over Hanoi Club. Therefore, Vuong Van Huy will have a hard day at work on the left wing.
However, Nghe An fans will still hope that the speed and aggressive playing style of this defender born in 2001 will limit the danger of this striker who grew up at Hoang Anh Gia Lai training center.
Michael Olaha and Lucas Alves
Lucas Alves is the latest signing of Nam Dinh Blue Steel in the 2023/2024 mid-season transfer window. The former captain of Dinamo Bucharest is expected to add steel to the defense of the Southern team. This is considered the weakest point of Nam Dinh Blue Steel at the moment. After 11 rounds, coach Vu Hong Viet's team has conceded 16 goals.

Meanwhile, Michael Olaha will still be the number 1 hope in the attack of the Nghe An team. The goal helpsLam River Nghe AnThe equalizer in the 2-2 draw against Hai Phong Club was the Nigerian striker's 4th goal this season. In addition, Michael Olaha also had 4 assists in the V.League. Hopefully, this striker wearing the number 7 shirt will continue to shine to help the home team get a good result in the upcoming match./.
The match between Song Lam Nghe An and Thep Xanh Nam Dinh will take place at 18:00 on March 3 at Vinh Stadium.
