Factors to watch out for in SHB Da Nang
SHB Da Nang will be Song Lam Nghe An's first opponent in the V.League 2024/2025. So, which players on the Da Nang side should coach Pham Anh Tuan's team be wary of?
Attacking midfielder Werick Caetano
Despite being valued very low on the transfer website transfermarkt (worth only 50,000 Euros),Werick Caetano has a rather impressive CV. Born in 1999, he came through the renowned La Masia academy and previously played for Barcelona's U19 team. Therefore, Werick Caetano possesses excellent individual technique.
Despite this, Werick Caetano's professional playing career has been rather turbulent, with the attacking midfielder only playing for smaller clubs in Europe. However, his performances in pre-season friendlies with SHB Da Nang Club have shown the danger posed by this 25-year-old player.
In the Thiên Long Cup friendly tournament, Werick Caetano scored 5 goals in 4 matches to help the Han River team win the championship. Therefore, he will be one of the most dangerous attacking players for SHB Da Nang Club.
Forward Yuri Mamute
Another player with a remarkable CV and impressive performances in the recent friendly tournament is Brazilian striker Yuri Mamute. Born in 1995, he has made 10 appearances for the Brazil U20 team, scoring 2 goals. He also played for renowned clubs such as Grêmio and Botafogo in Serie A (Brazil).
More recently, he has been in impressive form for Hai Phong Club. After 11 matches for the team from the port city, Yuri Mamute has scored 7 goals and provided 1 assist.
Returning to Vietnam to play for SHB Da Nang, the Brazilian striker didn't take long to adapt to the new playing environment. In recent friendly matches, Yuri Mamute scored 3 goals. It's safe to say that this striker's fitness and technical skills will pose a significant challenge for the Song Lam Nghe An defenders in their opening match of the new season.
The duo Pham Dinh Duy and Nguyen Phi Hoang
This duo has previously caused a lot of problems for the defenders of the Nghe An team. Speed, technique, and intelligent off-the-ball movement are the strengths of these two wingers.
In addition, the finishing ability of Pham Dinh Duy and Nguyen Phi Hoang is also noteworthy. In the recent friendly matches, this duo contributed 4 goals, helping SHB Da Nang get off to a good start before the new season begins.
Center-back MarlonRangel
The former Quy Nhon Binh Dinh player is one of the pillars of the defense for the Song Han team. With a height of 1.89m and experience playing in many European and South American leagues, Marlon Rangel will give coach Truong Viet Hoang's team peace of mind in their defense during their trip to Vinh.
Furthermore, Marlon Rangel is quite strong in attack. After 24 matches in the V.League 2023/2024, the 28-year-old has scored 2 goals and provided 4 assists, a very impressive number for a central defender. It can be said that Marlon Rangel is a 2-in-1 option that SHB Da Nang possesses.
