Reasons why Song Lam Nghe An can easily score points against Hanoi Club
(Baonghean.vn) - Traveling to Hang Day Stadium is a very difficult task for coach Phan Nhu Thuat and his team. However, Nghe An fans are still optimistic about a good result for Song Lam Nghe An in round 13 of V.League.
1. Coach Phan Nhu Thuat is still undefeated
After the first two matches in charge of the V.League, coach Phan Nhu Thuat has brought homeLam River Nghe An1 win and 1 draw. This is a pretty good result for a young coach who is leading the team for the first time in V.League. To achieve this result, the new coaching staff has made positive changes in both the playing style and fighting spirit of the Nghe An team.
First is the solidity of the defense. The defense may still be the most uncertain place of Song Lam Nghe An, but what has been shown in the last 2 matches has partly shown the remarkable change of Que Ngoc Hai and his teammates. It is the concentration and determination that has helped the Nghe team concede only 1 goal against two teams with quite strong attacks in the V.League. If they continue to maintain this form, Song Lam Nghe An's defense can completely neutralize the attack of Hanoi Club.
Along with the solidity in defense is a "cool breeze" in attack. Under coach Phan Nhu Thuat, Song Lam Nghe An's attacks have become more detailed and methodical. The two goals in the match against Ho Chi Minh City Club and many dangerous opportunities created in front of Dang Van Lam's goal are proof of the positive changes in the Nghe An team's attack. However, if they want to get a good result against the reigning V.League champion, Song Lam Nghe An's attacking players will have to make the most of the opportunities they have in this match.
Meeting Hanoi FC will be the toughest challenge coach Phan Nhu Thuat has to face. However, Nghe An fans still hope that the 39-year-old coach will come up with reasonable tactics to maintain his unbeaten record in the V.League.
2. Instability in the personnel of the Capital football team
In this year's season, Hanoi Club does not have stability in terms of personnel. That partly leads to the capital team's not-so-good performance in theV.League 2023.
First of all, it is the absence of quality domestic players, when many players of Hanoi Club were injured this season. They are midfielder Hung Dung, center back Thanh Chung or young midfielder Nguyen Van Truong. These injuries not only make them absent from some important matches but also somewhat reduce the performance and feeling of playing football of these players.
Especially the absence of captain Nguyen Van Quyet, who was suspended for 8 matches after a foul play in round 7 of V.League. In recent years, the 2023 Vietnam Golden Ball has always played an extremely important role in the Capital team. Therefore, the absence of Nguyen Van Quyet will be a big loss for Hanoi Club.
Not only is there instability in domestic players, but the foreign players of Hanoi Club also cannot meet the requirements of the Capital team's coaching staff. Although Hanoi Club has spent a lot of money to sign contracts with foreign players, after 12 rounds, the Brazilian trio has only brought disappointment to the Capital fans. And it is completely understandable that Hanoi Club terminated the contracts with all three foreign players.
In the upcoming match, it is likely that the Capital team will introduce the new players they have just recruited. However, these foreign players will need time to adapt to the V.League environment and that will be an opportunity for Song Lam Nghe An to "breathe easier" in this match.
3. Cheering in the stands
This season, both times Song Lam Nghe An had to visit Hang Day Stadium, there were quite a lot of Nghe An fans coming to the stadium to cheer for their hometown team. It is clear that Nghe An fans do not turn their backs on their hometown team even in the most difficult times.
In the upcoming match, the Fans Association of Song Lam Nghe An also has plans to march to Hang Day Stadium to support the Nghe An team. And at that time, the large number of Song Lam Nghe An fans at Hang Day Stadium will be a great source of motivation for the teachers and students.Coach Phan Nhu ThuatHopefully, coach Phan Nhu Thuat and his team will have a good match to bring joy to the home fans.
