SLNA - Topenland Binh Dinh: Hot spots at Vinh Stadium

Certainly, both right-back Ho Tan Tai and midfielder Phan Van Duc have considerable respect for each other when facing each other on Vinh Stadium. The player born in 1997 of Binh Dinh has spent 3 years fighting for Binh Duong and has affirmed his position in the Thu Dau Mot team and the U23 Vietnam team.

The confrontation of 2 players

The style of play of a player who was once a member of the national teamU20 VietnamThe performance of Tan Tai in the FIFA U20 World Cup in Korea in 2017 was quite simple but very effective. On the right wing, he often made timely tackles to prevent the opponent from penetrating. When attacking, Tan Tai often used his speed and continuous body movements to twist the opponent's flank before making accurate passes.

In the 2020 season, this defender was among the top scorers for Binh Duong with 3 goals and became the team's best player. Coach Park chose Tan Tai for the national team, giving him a try as a midfielder in a 3-4-3 formation. The confrontation between Tan Tai and Van Duc, the new symbols of the two teams, promises to be extremely exciting.

If Van Duc is back after a long absence, Tan Tai will confirm why Binh Dinh insists on getting their favorite child from Binh Duong. It would be wonderful if Vinh Stadium audience could witness Van Duc break through Tan Tai and score a goal in the first match.

Brain Balance

Meanwhile, center back Van Khanh will have the opportunity to face Rimario, the player who scored 2 goals against SLNA in round 15 of V.League 2019 while playing for home team Thanh Hoa.V.League 2020has a style of play that leans towards power but is still full of technique and speed. The Jamaican international can play sluggishly throughout the match but when given the chance Rimario suddenly shows his killer instinct.

Having played on the Vietnamese pitch since the 2018 season, Rimario is no stranger to SLNA's defense. If center-back Van Khanh is careless and lets him run forward, the chance of blocking is almost zero, except for intentional fouls. This player's weakness is that he gets angry easily when provoked, which has certainly been carefully studied by SLNA's coaching staff.

Meanwhile, 32-year-old Korean center-back Ahn Byung-Keon will make his debut for the new team. Coming to Quy Nhon Stadium and immediately being trusted by coach Duc Thang to be the captain shows that he is the new leader of the team from the land of Vo. Last year, in the Saigon FC jersey, he played 20 matches and made an important contribution to the team continuously leading the rankings and finishing 3rd at the end of the season.

Coming to Vinh Stadium this time, Ahn Byung-Keon and Duong Thanh Hao have the task of neutralizing the attacking duo Bruno Henrique and Peter Samuel of the Vinh Stadium team. Over the past many seasons, foreign players have always been a difficult weakness to overcome for the Nghe An team. It seems that SLNA's strikers are always struggling in the opponent's third of the field without being able to come up with a way to score.

Partly due to lack of funds,SLNAnot enough money to sign long-term contracts, foreign players signed contracts close to the opening day so their ability to integrate into the playing style is quite slow. Peter Samuel is considered the type of foreign player who disrupts the opponent's style of play rather than scoring goals, and Bruno Henrique has just joined Vinh Stadium, his ability to contribute goals is still open.

In addition, the battle of wits on the coaching bench between Quang Truong and Duc Thang - who have spent a lot of time together in the past playing for the national team - is equally interesting. IfCoach Quang TruongAlthough coach Duc Thang is considered to be the one who dares to play to the end, he is considered to be the one who keeps SLNA from losing before thinking about scoring.

It is known that on January 12, 2021, the entire coaching staff and players of Topenland Binh Dinh (including 16 new players) will be in Vinh to get acquainted with the field and weather. The away team's goal is to get points in their first return to V.League after 12 years of absence.
