Weaknesses of Song Lam Nghe An after the first match when captain Phan Nhu Thuat returned to 'steer'

Unstable situation

In the first 30 minutes of the match against Quang Nam Club,Lam River Nghe AnAlthough they did not have much possession of the ball, the number of opportunities that the Nghe team created was superior to that of the home team. As a result, coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team got the opening goal from Michael Olaha in the 27th minute.

Besides, this tit-for-tat of Song Lam Nghe An also made Quang Nam Club not dare to push too high to pressure the opponent. They were afraid of revealing gaps behind and losing more. This is the freshness in the playing style that coach Phan Nhu Thuat brought to the Nghe team.

However, after Tran Nam Hai's poor handling of the situation, the morale of Song Lam Nghe An players somewhat dropped. Perhaps, they lost confidence after their teammates' mistakes or because the VAR consultation time was too long, which dampened the players' fighting spirit.

When Song Lam Nghe An no longer had sharp counter-attacks, the home team Quang Nam Club put all their forces into attacking. Even center-back Eyenga Alain was often present on the Nghe team's field. The loss in the 75th minute was inevitable for Song Lam Nghe An when they lost control of the game.

It can be said that the unstable game of Song Lam Nghe An is the most dangerous weakness under coach Phan Nhu Thuat. This weakness comes from the lack of an experienced midfielder to control the game.Nguyen Quang Vinhor Dinh Xuan Tien are both talented midfielders, but in terms of battle experience, they still have a lot to accumulate.

It will be even more difficult for coach Phan Nhu Thuat when Nguyen Quang Vinh will be suspended in the next match due to receiving enough yellow cards. Therefore, this problem will still not have a complete solution in the upcoming match and perhaps only temporary "fire-fighting" solutions can be proposed.

Players' fitness

This has been a perennial problem for Song Lam Nghe An in recent years. It is also one of the reasons why the Nghe An team often loses control of the game in the second half of the match. There are two problems that cause the physical strength of Song Lam Nghe An players to be not good and also have to be exhausted a lot.

First of all, the formation distance is not reasonable. This makes them have to run more often to fill the gaps. Besides, the lack of synchronization in pressing situations makes those situations not very effective but also wastes energy.

In addition, the obvious difference between the reserve team and the official team is also one of the reasons that causes the players' physical strength to be worn out. Official players often have to "try" to play more to maintain the game against their opponents. This unintentionally makes it difficult for them to recover their physical condition in time for the next matches.

Therefore, the Coaching Board of Song Lam Nghe An needs to make adjustments in tactics and apply advanced medical methods to help players maintain good physical strength throughout the 90 minutes of play.

For example, Hoang Anh Gia Lai in the season, they let the players take oxygen before the matches and supplement oxygen in the middle of the match. This helps the players of the mountain town team maintain their physical strength throughout the match, even when facing Dong A Thanh Hoa - the team with the best physical foundation in V.League.

Hopefully,Coach Phan Nhu Thuatand his colleagues will soon overcome the weaknesses of the Nghe An team, thereby helping them play better in upcoming matches.
