Head coach of Song Lam Nghe An wants to add more players

Within the framework of round 9V-League 2024/25, witnessed the traditional football team Song Lam Nghe An suffer the heaviest defeat in many years, against The Cong Viettel. And even more painful for the Nghe team was that this defeat happened right at Vinh stadium, in front of the cheers of home fans.

Lam River Nghe Analmost surrendered to the opponent after only half of the first half. During the remaining time, the home team Vinh revealed many weaknesses and had to accept defeat with a heavy score of 0-5.

After the match,Head coach Phan Nhu Thuatadmitted defeat, "convinced" by the away team: "The Cong Viettel deserved to win this match" - Mr. Thuat said.

The new captain of Song Lam Nghe An also said: "Actually, at the beginning of the match, the young players of Song Lam Nghe An got into the rhythm quite well. However, after losing 2 great goals from Viettel, their mentality was affected and went down. After this match, we will still have a lot of work to do."

Currently, Song Lam Nghe An has fallen into a red alert. If the Vinh home team does not make strong changes in terms of personnel and playing style, finding a ticket to stay in the league this season seems impossible.

Faced with the challenges facing the team, Mr. Thuat said: "The upcoming work will be a lot for us. I hope that the players who play well will recover and return soon in the near future. Especially, in the second phase of the season, I hope to add more players to be able to support the team further."

When asked why he bravely accepted the task of sitting in the hot seat at this time, Mr. Thuat shared: "We were all players who grew up at Song Lam Nghe An Club. We have been here since we were young. That is why, when the club is in difficulty and is assigned a task, we will try to work. When I took over, the team was not in good form. In particular, almost all the players who played well last year are injured this year, so this period is very difficult for our team."

After the match of round 9, V-League will take a 2-month break to make way for the ASEAN Cup. This is the golden time for Song Lam Nghe An's key players to recover from injuries and return to play in round 10 of V-League 2024/25. In particular, the coach born in 1984 will have the opportunity to rebuild the playing style and stabilize the psychology of the home team's players.

Hopefully Song Lam Nghe An will come back stronger, thereby escaping the "red light" group to successfully stay in the league.
