Hot: Michael Olaha suddenly leaves Hapoel Tel, waiting for the day to return to SLNA
(Baonghean.vn) – In the context that Song Lam Nghe An is having difficulty in recruiting foreign players for the second leg of V.League 2020, the former player of the Nghe An team, Michael Olaha, has suddenly terminated his contract with the team in Israel.
Recently, SLNA parted ways with foreign player Alagie Sosseh because he could not meet the professional requirements after 10 matches without scoring a single goal. There was information that foreign player Michael Olaha would return to SLNA, but in the end, because he could not enter the country and was still bound by a contract (4 years) with Hapoel Tel, the Nigerian player had to accept to miss the appointment.
After that, the Nghe An team looked for a safer option, which was foreign player Felipe Martins – a Brazilian player who played for HAGL Club in V.League 2019 but only signed a monthly contract. Because the deadline for adding players for the mid-season period was August 21.

In Israel, Michael Olaha is facing many difficulties because he has played 15 matches, scored no goals and had his salary cut. This has made the player born in 1996 decide to terminate his contract with Hapoel Tel.
Sharing with Nghe An Newspaper reporter, striker Michael Olaha said: "I cannot actively return to Vietnam, but I am ready to return to SLNA if the team wants me to return to play. If not, I will have to look for another team in Israel."
Foreign player Michael Olaha joined SLNA and won the 2017 National Cup with SLNA in his first year. During his 3 years playing for SLNA, he played a total of 76 matches in V.League and scored 18 goals. After witnessing foreign player Alagie Sosseh play, Nghe An fans are hoping Olaha will return.
Currently, many teams in V.League are still updating the immigration situation to bring some foreign players to compete. The remaining teams are forced to find a safe solution, which is to find players who are in Vietnam and have played in V.League, such as Felipe Martins or Hoang Vissai, to play for Quang Nam Club.
