An acceptable draw for the Nghe An team, but there are still many worries, especially when the V.League has only just gone through the first round.

The defense is full of holes again.

New season ideasNghe An football teamThere will be the return of the pillars of the defense such as Ho Khac Luong, Tran Dinh Hoang or Tran Nam Hai. However, in the first round, coach Pham Anh Tuan had to arrange midfielder Nguyen Xuan Binh to play in the center-back position. Fortunately, this player wearing the number 22 shirt has completed the task excellently to create stability on the right wing with Vuong Van Huy. Along with that, the clear progress of young defender Bui Thanh Duc helps the left wing to be temporarily assured.

However, the red card of foreign player Sebastian Zaracho has put Song Lam Nghe An's defense in an alarming situation. In the next match, if the pillars do not recover in time, young center back Phan Van Thanh will be the one chosen.

This 18-year-old player has an ideal height (1m83) but his experience in the field is a big problem. The match against SHB Da Nang was the first match Phan Van Thanh played in V.League. Therefore, it will be very worrying if Phan Van Thanh has to face the attacking stars of Hoang Anh Gia Lai in the upcoming match.

Because, in the opening match, coach Vu Tien Thanh's team won a resounding 4-0 victory. Among them, names like Chau Ngoc Quang, Da Silva Marciel and Jeferson Elias all had excellent performances.

Besides,Hoang Anh Gia Laiunder coach Vu Tien Thanh is very dangerous in set pieces. Therefore, the absence of Sebastian Zaracho will make the Nghe An team's defense even more difficult.

Perhaps now Nghe An fans can only hope that the pillars of the defense will recover soon, thereby having a deeper squad in the upcoming matches.

Lack of depth in midfield

The injury problem also makes the midfield of Song Lam Nghe An lack of options. The most prominent of which is the absence of midfielder Phan Ba ​​Quyen. This midfielder born in 2002 is like N'Golo Kanté of the Nghe team. Therefore, it is very difficult to fill the position and role that Phan Ba ​​Quyen left.

The dependence on young midfielder Nguyen Quang Vinh created a difficult situation for Song Lam Nghe An. Most of Song Lam Nghe An's attacks in the last match went through this number 16. However, on a day without the support of his teammates, Nguyen Quang Vinh could only play a mediocre role.

Nguyen Quang Vinh cannot be blamed, because this young player is only 19 years old, the age when he needs to perfect his skills as well as accumulate more playing experience. Therefore, it is necessary to find someone to share the fire, sometimes to replace him to create new features in the playing style as well as avoid overloading Nguyen Quang Vinh.

However, this will be a difficult problem for the coaching staff of the Nghe An team. Because, in the squad ofLam River Nghe AnThere are not many options to play the leading midfielder position. Perhaps there is hope for Dinh Xuan Tien to regain his form or the remarkable maturity of Nguyen Trong Tuan, who also made his debut in the last match.

Hopefully, coach Pham Anh Tuan and his colleagues will have feasible plans to help Song Lam Nghe An have a better position in the upcoming matches.

The attack needs adjustment.

The attack is the most secure place for the Nghe An team. Newcomer Benjamin Kuku also showed his qualities in the opening match. Meanwhile, Michael Olaha still played diligently and energetically.

However, there needs to be an adjustment in the attack of Song Lam Nghe An. The fact that Michael Olaha and Benjamin Kuku play too far apart makes this duo unable to have the necessary communication line. Therefore, in the upcoming matches, the Nigerian striker duo needs to keep a reasonable distance from each other. At that time, it is very likely that Benjamin Kuku will be the "thrower" and Michael Olaha will be the "finisher" to help the home team score goals.

In addition, the option of using a pair of domestic players to play on both wings is also an option that needs to be considered. In the last match, Le Dinh Long Vu almost made a difference after being put on the field. If this option is effective, Michael Olaha can be withdrawn deep to support the midfield.

It can be said that in the process of rejuvenating the squad, the difficulty of Song Lam Nghe An was foreseen. Therefore, it is necessary for captain Pham Anh Tuan to make reasonable adjustments so that the Nghe An team can maximize its available strength.
