Will Phuc Tinh or Tuan Tai pair up with Olaha in the SLNA - Khanh Hoa match?
(Baonghean.vn) - Striker Ho Tuan Tai, after a period of struggling with injury, has returned to normal training. But will the player born in 1995 be able to play from the start or will he have to give way to his senior Phuc Tinh in the match against S.Khanh Hoa?
Foreign player Alves dos Santos could not play due to injury, causing SLNA's attack to fall into a serious state of disarray. However, "in misfortune there is luck", without the service of the Brazilian foreign player, coach Nguyen Duc Thang welcomed the return of striker Ho Tuan Tai.
So at the present time, SLNA's coaching staff has 3 players playing in the striker position. In addition to Tuan Tai, there are also Olaha and Phuc Tinh. With his talent and importance, Olaha will naturally occupy 1 of the 2 highest positions on the attack line in SLNA's familiar 4-4-2 formation. Phuc Tinh and Tuan Tai will compete with each other for the remaining position.

Objectively speaking, each person has their own advantages and disadvantages. While Tuan Tai has just recovered from injury, Phuc Tinh has "lost points" quite a lot with the SLNA coaching staff through quite disappointing performances (playing 204 minutes, 0 goals, 0 assists).
To penetrate a defense that is strong in aerial combat but slow in tight spaces like Sanna Khanh Hoa, a striker with good personal technical foundation and a mischievous playing style like Tuan Tai will be more effective. Unfortunately, Tuan Tai has just recovered from an injury so it is difficult to have the best feeling for the ball. Using Phuc Tinh or Tuan Tai as a starter is not an easy choice for coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his colleagues.

In the writer's personal opinion, it is very likely that SLNA's coaching staff will put Phuc Tinh in the starting lineup. Then, depending on the development of the match, they will consider putting Tuan Tai on the field. Anyway, compared to his junior Tuan Tai, Phuc Tinh is still in a more ready position. The possibility that coach Nguyen Duc Thang will use the striker wearing the number 18 shirt from the start is very likely.
The match between SLNA and Sanna Khanh Hoa in round 10 of V.League 2019 will take place at Vinh Stadium at 5:00 p.m. on May 18./.
