Beautiful memories of coach Phan Nhu Thuat with Ho Chi Minh City Police

Since becoming head coach, coach Phan Nhu Thuat has had 2 periods of leadership.Lam River Nghe AnThe coach born in 1984 has had 54 matches leading the Nghe An team, including 18 wins, 15 draws and 21 losses. This is an acceptable achievement.

Because, in recent years, Song Lam Nghe An has always faced financial difficulties. Therefore, the team has always lost talent and does not have a quality squad.

Therefore, the achievement of "saving the price" in last year's season and bringing Song Lam Nghe An to the National Cup final is a very remarkable achievement of coach Phan Nhu Thuat and his colleagues. The Silver medal in this tournament is also the best achievement of Song Lam Nghe An in nearly a decade, since winning the National Cup in 2017.

Previously, coach Phan Nhu Thuat also successfully "put out the fire" when helping Song Lam Nghe An stay in the league early in the 2023 season. This is an extremely memorable season for the coach born in 1984, when he first led a club at the highest level of Vietnamese Football.

And it was even more memorable when in 8 matches that season, coach Phan Nhu Thuat helped Song Lam Nghe An win 5 matches, draw 1 match and only lose 2 matches - an admirable achievement for a new coach just entering the profession.

The 41-year-old coach has built a short and medium-range passing game for the team, creating clear and attractive attacks.

Among them, the most beautiful memory was the debut match against Ho Chi Minh City Club (now Ho Chi Minh City Police). 2 goals by Soladio and Michael Olaha helped Song Lam Nghe An overcome the team from the city named after Uncle Ho, and at the same time was the most wonderful debut gift from coach Phan Nhu Thuat.

Not stopping there, in phase 2 of the 2023 season, Song Lam Nghe An once again defeated the team from the city named after Uncle Ho with a score of 2-0 to officially stay in the league.

Up to now, in 4 matches against Ho Chi Minh City Club, coach Phan Nhu Thuat has had 2 wins, 1 draw and only 1 loss. Notably, both of those victories took place at Vinh Stadium - considered the "fortress" of the Nghe An team under this 41-year-old coach.

And this weekend, once again, coach Phan Nhu Thuat will have the opportunity to face off againstHo Chi Minh City Police– the team has changed its name and owner. This is considered a valuable opportunity for the coach born in 1984 to rekindle good memories, and at the same time help the team regain inspiration after a series of unimpressive matches at the beginning of the season.

However, to do that, Song Lam Nghe An will need to make strong adjustments. The draw against Hong Linh Ha Tinh showed excessive caution in the approach to the match. The tight defense caused the team to lose advantages and not get the desired results. On the contrary, in the victory against the defending champions Thep Xanh Nam Dinh, Song Lam Nghe An showed a confident playing style to create the most impressive performances since the beginning of the season.

Therefore, with the home field advantage, coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team can completely create pressure to make Ho Chi Minh City Police confused and make mistakes. Remember that, in football, attack is also the best way to defend. And also remember that, we have won the reigning champion Nam Dinh Steel Blue at home, so we can do the same with other teams.

Therefore, just need to play confidently and try their best, Song Lam Nghe An can completely win against Ho Chi Minh City Police in the upcoming match. So that the matches against the team from the city named after Uncle Ho at Vinh Stadium will always be beautiful memories ofCoach Phan Nhu Thuat.
