SLNA - Sanna Khanh Hoa: Be careful with Youssouf Toure
(Baonghean.vn) - After two consecutive rounds of sitting out due to a red card in the match against Than Quang Ninh, the French striker will almost certainly be used by coach Vo Dinh Tan from the start in Sanna Khanh Hoa's away match against SLNA.
Since joining the 19/8 home team in the second leg of V.League 2017, Youssouf Toure has always been coach Vo Dinh Tan's number 1 choice for the top position in Sanna Khanh Hoa's attack. Indeed, the performances of the foreign player born in 1986 during the past time have been extremely impressive.
The following statistics are enough to confirm that.
In the second leg of V.League 2017, Youssouf Toure played a total of 12/13 matches and scored 5 goals for the coastal city team. Notably, at the Toyota Mekong Club Championship 2017, the tournament where Sanna Khanh Hoa Club won the runner-up position, Youssouf Toure also won the double individual title of Top Scorer (7 goals) and Best Player.

Over time, the French striker has increasingly affirmed his talent and importance in the coastal city team's shirt.
Youssouf Toure is one of the most important players of coach Vo Dinh Tan in recent seasons. Sanna Khanh Hoa's achievement of winning 3rd place in V.League 2018 is largely due to Youssouf Toure. The 14 goals scored by this player for the 19/8 home team is a typical example.
Up to this point, after 7 matches for Sanna Khanh Hoa in V.League 2019, the French foreign player has only scored 1 goal. This is an extremely disappointing achievement for the player wearing the number 21 shirt.
However, don't underestimate Youssouf Toure. With a pretty ideal physique (1m83 tall, 85kg) and a strong physical foundation, the 33-year-old striker is very strong in the ability to press, fight in the air and shoot in a variety of ways.

Therefore, the appearance of Youssouf Toure on the Sanna Khanh Hoa attack line is a constant threat to SLNA's defense in the match taking place this afternoon (May 18). The task for the central defender duo Memovic - Hoang Van Khanh in marking and neutralizing the danger of Youssouf Toure is very heavy.
If they successfully "kill" Youssouf Toure, coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team will have a chance to win at least 1 point./.
