In defense, Luong Duy Cuong, Lieu Quang Vinh, Lam Anh Quang will be the pillars of the Song Han team. In particular, U23 player Luong Duy Cuong will be the biggest hope after a successful 2022 season.

The experience of Captain Hoang Minh Tam, Dang Anh Tuan and Vo Ngoc Toan will help SHB Da Nang's midfield operate smoothly. However, this will be a season where Minh Tam, Nguyen Sa and Quach Tan will be greatly affected by age. Therefore, head coach Phan Thanh Hung must have a reasonable rotation to ensure the fitness of these veterans.

The attack line will be where coach Phan Thanh Hung feels most secure with Phan Van Long at the peak of his career and the young duo Pham Dinh Duy and Nguyen Phi Hoang who have made great strides in the 2022 V.League season. Besides, there is the experience of former national player Ha Minh Tuan.

With what has been prepared for the new season, SHB Da Nang Club can be completely assured about the domestic force in the season.V.League 2023.

Quality foreign players

Last season, coach Phan Thanh Hung's team always had to "handicap" the West. That was the result of injuries and the poor quality of the players.foreign soldiers.

To avoid that situation, the coaching staff of the Han River team has prepared very carefully in the personnel selection stage. 3 foreign players spread across 3 lines help SHB Da Nang's squad have the necessary balance.

That is Brazilian center back Mauricio Pinto from the ALiga (Lithuania). With a height of 1m88, this center back will help the defenses to be more solid in high ball situations as well as when facing quality foreign players of the opposing team.

Another foreign player is Olsen Nicholas John - who has played very well in the second leg of V.League 2022 for Saigon Club. In 11 matches last season, the Australian attacking midfielder had 5 goals and 2 assists, an impressive performance. The speed and technique of this player born in 1995 will be a dangerous weapon in SHB Da Nang's counter-attacks.

Also competing in V.League 2022 is Rodrigo Da Silva Dias, a former player of Nam Dinh and Quang Nam Clubs. The Brazilian player has made 49 appearances in V.League, scoring 19 goals and 12 assists. Strength, technique and diverse finishing ability have helped this 29-year-old striker achieve such high performance. However, last season Rodrigo Da Silva Dias was also affected quite a lot by injuries. This will be a noteworthy point for the SHB Da Nang Coaching Board.

Thus, in general, SHB Da Nang in the 2023 season is a team with many individuals who are at their peak and are better than in the 2022 season. And what the Han River team needs now is to wait for the talent of coach Phan Thanh Hung to combine these individuals into a cohesive team. At that time, SHB Da Nang Club will be a tough opponent not only for Song Lam Nghe An Club but also for other clubs in V.League 2023.
