Don't give up, Thang "dinosaur"!
(Baonghean.vn) - The Nghe An team is going through a very difficult period in V.League 2018. The pressure on coach Nguyen Duc Thang is enormous.
Immediately after SLNA's 1-2 loss to Hanoi FC (May 30), coach Nguyen Duc Thang shared: "After today's defeat, I think I have to be the first person to take responsibility. I will have to rethink my future because I cannot bring success to the team and satisfy the fans. I always want to be with the team. However, this is a period when the team is facing many problems, so I need to have a meeting with the Board of Directors as well as the players before making a final decision."
This is not the first time the strategist born in 1977 has taken full responsibility for himself, every time SLNA fails. That shows that Coach Nguyen Duc Thang is a brave person. Because, everyone understands the basic reason why the Nghe An team played so poorly in V.League 2018, it is not entirely Coach Nguyen Duc Thang's fault (injury problems, bad luck, poor foreign players...).
Therefore, coach Nguyen Duc Thang's mention of the possibility of resigning is unfair to him and disadvantageous to SLNA at this time.

Instead of leaving the Nghe An team in defeat, Coach Nguyen Duc Thang must stay to work closely with the coaching staff, players and fans of SLNA. Changing the position on the coaching bench at a sensitive stage like now is not a good way to help SLNA overcome the difficulties that are surrounding and waiting ahead.
Simply put, Coach Nguyen Duc Thang is not the key problem in the series of bad matches of the Vinh team. Just look at the fighting spirit of the players and the support of SLNA fans.
There is no sign that the players are against coach Nguyen Duc Thang. On the field, Ngoc Hai and his teammates are still constantly fighting to help SLNA escape the dangerous situation. The solidarity between the coaching staff and the players, and between the players of the Nghe An team is wonderful.
Therefore, if coach Nguyen Duc Thang leaves at this time, it will greatly affect the playing mentality of SLNA players. At that time, the Nghe An team will fall into a situation of "like a snake without a head".

Although the home team is playing poorly, SLNA fans do not criticize coach Nguyen Duc Thang. Just look at the Vinh stadium stands on May 30th to understand. Despite the heavy rain pouring down at the beginning of the second half, despite the home team being led by Hanoi and playing dominantly, thousands of SLNA fans still cheered and sang loudly from before the match started until the referee blew the final whistle.
Not many teams are like SLNA, not many people are like coach Nguyen Duc Thang.
Hopefully, with the support of the Board of Directors, players and fans of the Nghe An team, Coach Nguyen Duc Thang will give up the idea of leaving SLNA to focus on the task of bringing the team back to the winning track. Don’t give up, “dinosaur” Thang!
