Song Lam Nghe An and the journey to find something new

(Baonghean.vn) - Yesterday, Quang Truong made a decision that is considered the newest ever, the strikers played one foreign player and one domestic player. Although the result was not as expected, it is clear that the audience is still temporarily satisfied..

Coach Quang Truong chose Long An, an opponent who had lost 4 consecutive matches and only had 16 players to test the lineup. This was the first time Tuan Tai had been able to put on his shoes from the start to play with Odat. Surprisingly, Baba was pushed to the left wing, a position that SLNA's coaching staff had tried for 5-6 players such as Van Duc, Xuan Thang, Van Vinh, Sy Sam...

Another important change is that Thanh Phong, who plays alongside Ngoc Toan, will be tasked with making the ball. Obviously, this is a relatively balanced lineup, Odah Marshal's goal-scoring duties will be shared by young player Tuan Tai. Watching Tuan Tai play on the field, we feel his desire and enthusiasm, but his teammates mostly give him high balls, so the tall center-back Franklin can easily handle them.

The arrangement of Baba Salia to play on the left wing has stopped Tai Em, Long An's most important explosive player, but in the second half when Tai Em did not play, it was probably a waste because Baba Salia has a lot of strength but cannot cross the ball well. In our opinion, if Baba Salia was arranged to play as a central midfielder, he would perform better, SLNA would have more attacking ability on the flank.

SLNA is still surviving thanks to foreign players.

Young midfielder Thanh Phong was on the field and played with determination, boldly attacking the center but only at a moderate level rather than playing creatively. In our opinion, the separation of Baba Salia and Odah Marshal has initially had a good signal, softening the attack and strengthening the defense. The problem now is adjusting Baba Salia's position in midfield. Van Vinh, up to now, is still the smartest player in midfield, he only entered the field for 7 minutes but Long An's defense was already shaken.

Obviously, Coach Quang Truong has been bold in arranging the midfield and forward lines, refreshing SLNA's playing style. The Nghe An audience cannot underestimate the innovative thinking of the coaching staff because of Dinh Hoang's personal mistake, leading to the penalty kick that allowed Long An to tie the score 1-1.

When striker Odah Marshal was assigned to play as a striker, Tuan Tai was assigned to harass, SLNA was awarded more direct free kicks and corners. The problem is to play short, coordinate small in front of the opponent's 16.5m box more. The defense without Manh Hung is still operating relatively well, except for 2 situations of jumping up to intercept the ball unsuccessfully, center back Minh Duc still plays very solidly. Meanwhile, young center back Van Khanh seems to be increasingly confident in his new position.

Ho Tuan Tai has yet to show his true class.

In the next round, according to our observations of FLC Thanh Hoa, the left wing is the weak point of the defense. Looking at how midfielder Quang Tinh of XSKT.Can Tho has made FLC Thanh Hoa's defense miserable, surely SLNA's coaching staff will know how to organize an attack there. A left wing midfielder with speed and good penetration ability is needed to attack this wing, hopefully Xuan Thang will be trusted to use in the next match.
