Overcoming difficulties, Song Lam Nghe An optimistically scores points against Binh Dinh
(Baonghean.vn) - After a resounding victory over Binh Duong, Song Lam Nghe An will travel to Quy Nhon to meet the team ranked 3rd - Binh Dinh. This match is predicted to be difficult for coach Huy Hoang and his team. However, with their spirit strengthened, we believe that Nghe An Club will be able to gain points against Mr. Duc Thang's team.

Disadvantage in force
After a few matchesLam River Nghe AnAfter trying out many young players but not bringing success, causing some fans to protest, in round 23, coach Huy Hoang decided to release a series of pillars. Immediately, the Nghe team regained their image, with an overwhelming 3-0 victory over the visiting team Binh Duong.
However, in the 24th round, Song Lam Nghe An is at a big disadvantage as Van Khanh and Trong Hoang will definitely not be able to travel with the club to Quy Nhon Stadium. While Van Khanh has received 3 yellow cards and must rest for 1 round, Trong Hoang must also stay in his hometown due to the doctor's advice to treat his injury.
According to information that Nghe An Newspaper reporters have learned, after 2 high-intensity matches, the player born in 1989 had to rest to recover, to avoid overexertion, causing muscle cramps, resulting in spinal curvature. Therefore, the Coaching Board of Song Lam Nghe An decided to keep Trong Hoang at home to ensure the safety of this striker.

In the match against Binh Duong, Trong Hoang was not the one who directly contributed to the 3 goals of Nghe An Club. However, he was an important link in the playing style of Song Lam Nghe An. According to Instat statistics in the match against Binh Duong, Trong Hoang was given a score of 161, a score that is quite good for the team. In which, he made 36 passes with 27 successful times (equivalent to a rate of 75%). However, the statistics are only specific numbers, the important thing is that the appearance of the 33-year-old striker brings many intangible values to the Nghe team. Besides creating motivation and spiritual support for his teammates, Trong Hoang's experience is very necessary for Song Lam Nghe An at this time.
Trong Hoang from the beginning showed the spirit of Nghe An, that is very happy and valuable.
After the victory against Binh Duong, coach Huy Hoang also had to admit: "Trong Hoang showed the spirit of Nghe An from the start, which is very happy and worthy of respect."
His absence in the away match against Binh Dinh will be considered a big loss for Nghe An Club. Binh Dinh is a team with quality players, lacking the experience of Trong Hoang, it will certainly make it difficult for the Coaching Board of Song Lam Nghe An to find a player capable enough to take charge of the right wing.

In the central defender position, without the presence of Van Khanh, it will be a difficult problem for the coach of the Nghe An team. In the match of round 23, Que Ngoc Hai combined very well with Van Khanh to create a steel wall in front of goalkeeper Van Tien's goal. The player wearing shirt number 5 was rated 190 points by Instat, this is a very high score compared to the players playing in the match. In particular, the number of successful challenges of Van Khanh was 66%. The understanding of the duo Que Ngoc Hai and Van Khanh prevented Tien Linh, To Van Vu or Welington from causing much danger, thereby keeping a clean sheet for the Nghe An team. Without Van Khanh, the tactical intentions of coach Huy Hoang will certainly be greatly limited. He will have to find a way to replace this central defender, as Binh Dinh is a team with a quite diverse attacking style.

In addition, Van Lam and The Nhat will also have difficulty recovering from their injuries in time to return to Song Lam Nghe An's squad in the next round.
Optimism has its points
The absence of Van Khanh and Trong Hoang will certainly make it difficult for coach Huy Hoang to deploy the 4-4-2 formation as successfully applied in the previous match. It is likely that Song Lam Nghe An will return to the familiar 3-5-2 formation. At that time, the 3 central defenders will be taken on by Que Ngoc Hai, Thai Ba Sang and Ho Khac Luong. This plan really requires the leadership role, directing the defense of Captain Song Lam Nghe An. In addition, if the 2 wings of Nghe An Club can perform the ability to attack and defend rhythmically, they will also be a great support for the defense line. The audience can completely hope for the combination of youth and experience of Song Lam Nghe An players, to be able to lock down the attacking spearheads of the opponent side.

On the attacking front, when switching back to the familiar formation, Xuan Tien will most likely be in the starting lineup to replace Trong Hoang, which is not a bad option. Because in recent times, this young midfielder has made many strides and played more confidently than before. Therefore, it is possible to trust Xuan Tien to create cohesion in the Nghe An team's attack. Besides, with the rising form of Van Duc, Olaha, Oseni, coach Huy Hoang's team will create diverse combinations, thereby opening up opportunities to tear Van Lam's net.

"Where there is a will, there is a way", along with the high spirit after the victory in the previous round, will be the fulcrum for Song Lam Nghe An to be optimistic about gaining points against the rich team Binh Dinh.
