U21 Song Lam Nghe An meets U21 Dong A Thanh Hoa: A sweet revenge?
(Baonghean.vn) - In the U21 Song Lam Nghe An squad, there are quite a few players from the U19 generation that just failed in the final match of the 2023 National U19 tournament. Therefore, the reunion with U21 Dong A Thanh Hoa is a great opportunity to repay this debt.
It can be said that teacher and studentCoach Pham Bui Minhare playing better and better in this year's tournament. Leaving behind the 0-1 loss to U21 Kon Tum in the opening match, U21 Song Lam Nghe An is showing a destructive form when scoring 9 goals and not conceding in the last 2 matches. Therefore, the trip to Thanh Hoa Stadium, although predicted to be difficult, the young team from Nghe An is ready to defeat the home team to win the right to enter the semi-finals.
The defense will still be a reliable support for U21 Song Lam Nghe An. With the presence of goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet, defender Vo Tien Thang, Ho Van Cuong or Nguyen Mai Hoang... the defense of the Nghe team is one of the best defenses of this year's tournament (along with U21 Hanoi and U21 Kon Tum). Therefore, if they play at the right level, coach Pham Bui Minh's students will be able to lock down the strikers of the home team U21 Dong A Thanh Hoa.
Not only that, the defense of U21 Song Lam Nghe An also contributed a lot in the attack front. With the excellent climbing ability of Ho Van Cuong or the aerial situations of the central defenders, the players in the defense of the Nghe team have scored 3 goals in this year's tournament. Certainly, the attacking situations of the defenders will be an option that the coaching staff of the Nghe team will consider in this match.
Coach Pham Bui Minh's biggest headache is choosing the midfield players for U21 Song Lam Nghe An. But this is a pleasant headache because the coach has many high-performing players to help the Nghe An team play smoothly.
However, Phan Ba Quyen, Nguyen Quang Vinh and Nguyen Van Bach are still the top choices in the midfield of the Nghe An team. This is the trio that has helped U21 Song Lam Nghe An easily gain the initiative on the field in recent matches.
In which, the young midfielderNguyen Quang Vinhwill be the soul in the attacking lines of the Nghe An team. After being rested in the recent match against U21 Dak Lak, this midfielder born in 2005 will be in the best physical condition to help U21 Song Lam Nghe An dominate the home team. Nguyen Quang Vinh's brilliant passes and dangerous free kicks will be the way for the Nghe An team to penetrate the defense of U21 Dong A Thanh Hoa. Hopefully, Quang Vinh and his teammates will continue to have excellent performances to help the home team qualify for the semi-finals.
On the offensive line, Phan Duy Hao's good form in the last 2 matches will help this player take the starting position. With 2 goals, this player wearing the number 8 shirt is one of the top scorers for the Nghe team. It is very likely that Phan Duy Hao's scoring ability will continue to be promoted in this match to help the home team win.
This is completely reasonable when the defense of U21 Dong A Thanh Hoa is one of the weakest defenses in the quarter-finals. After 3 matches in the group stage, the Thanh team has conceded 5 goals and has not kept a clean sheet in any match.
Especially the U21 Dong A Thanh Hoa's defense against high balls. The situations of going down the sidelines and crossing from the opponents often make the Thanh defense confused. This is the weak point for coach Pham Bui Minh's team to exploit.
The mainstay of the Thanh team's strength is the attack. With quite prominent individuals such as Captain Tran Quoc Dat, Le Van Cuong and the trio who helped U19 Dong A Thanh Hoa win the championship, Ha Minh Duc, Cam Ba Thanh and Nguyen Ngoc My. Under the direction of coach Tanasijevie Stetislav, the Thanh team's attacks are quite open. After 3 matches in the group stage, they have scored 6 goals. Of which, Captain Tran Quoc Dat and Le Van Cuong are the ones who have both scored 2 goals. Therefore, in this match, the defenseNghe An football teamwill have a tough match against the home team's attack.
Although having to play away, however, with their confidence and high performance, coach Pham Bui Minh's team can absolutely have a victory against the host U21 Dong A Thanh Hoa, thereby registering their name in the semi-finals. And that will be a "sweet" repayment for the debt they owed at the final of the recent National U19 tournament.
The match between U21 Song Lam Nghe An and U21 Dong A Thanh Hoa will take place at 17:00 on September 27, 2023 at Thanh Hoa Stadium.
