Positive aspects of the Ho Van Cuong - Jon Cley exchange deal.
(Baonghean.vn) - In recent days, the news that Song Lam Nghe An is "exchanging" young defender Ho Van Cuong for foreign player Jhon Cley of Hanoi Police has attracted a lot of attention from fans. This will be a deal that brings benefits to both Song Lam Nghe An and the police team.
1. Ho Van Cuong's death is not too worrying.
First of all, it must be stated that inLam River, Nghe AnCurrently, there are many quality full-backs. These include the two veterans Trong Hoang and Tran Dinh Hoang, who have extensive experience playing at right-back. There's also Vuong Van Huy, a young player who showed significant improvement in the 2023 season. And most recently, Nguyen Mai Hoang and Bui Thanh Duc, young defenders who performed exceptionally well in the recent U21 National Championship.
Therefore, Ho Van Cuong's joining Hanoi Police will not significantly affect the two wing positions of the Nghe An team. In fact, it might even create positive opportunities for young players like Vuong Van Huy, Nguyen Mai Hoang, or Bui Thanh Duc to rise and prove themselves in the upcoming season.
2. A good competitive environment for Ho Van Cuong
For the young defender from Hoang Mai town, joining the police force's football team will be a great opportunity but also a significant challenge. This is because...Hanoi PoliceThis team boasts many high-quality players. More than two-thirds of the Police Department's football squad consists of national team and youth team players. Therefore, it will be a highly competitive team for every position.
For example, in the right-back position of Hanoi Police FC, besides Ho Van Cuong, there are other excellent players like Ho Tan Tai and Vu Van Thanh. This will be a great opportunity for the 20-year-old defender to learn and exchange experiences with senior players who have proven themselves on the national team.
However, this also puts immense pressure on Ho Van Cuong in the competition for a starting position at Hanoi Police Club. And if Cuong fails to prove his worth, the bench will be his familiar place in the upcoming season. Hopefully, in the 2023-2024 season, Ho Van Cuong will continue to develop and have a successful season.
3. John Cley - The dream of the "poor kid"
BeforeJohn CleyWith the arrival of the Brazilian striker, Song Lam Nghe An is currently struggling to find a third foreign player. With limited funds, it's difficult for coach Phan Nhu Thuat to find a suitable player. However, with the Brazilian striker joining the Nghe An team as part of the exchange deal involving Ho Van Cuong, the coaching staff of the Nghe An team has been relieved of a significant burden.
In particular, Jhon Cley has become familiar with the Vietnamese football environment and has somewhat proven himself in the past season. After 22 matches for Hanoi Police, the 29-year-old striker scored 11 goals and provided 3 assists. This is quite an impressive number, especially considering that in the past 10 years, Song Lam Nghe An has never had a striker who scored more than 10 goals per season (striker Le Cong Vinh scored 13 goals in the 2013 V.League season). Therefore, having Jhon Cley in the squad will help improve Song Lam Nghe An's attack, thus giving the team a stronger squad as the 2023-2024 season approaches.
After whatHo Van CuongHaving showcased his talent for the Vietnam U23 team and the recent National U21 Championship, many fans in Nghe An are saddened to have to say goodbye to this young defender. However, due to Song Lam Nghe An's difficult financial situation, parting ways with Ho Van Cuong will be beneficial to all parties involved.
