Why did Song Lam Nghe An not achieve the desired results?
In the last 9 rounds of V.League 1, Song Lam Nghe An still had 3 times leading the opponent but could not maintain the fragile score, had to accept a draw and was helpless in finding a win to change the situation.
The question is why the Vinh home team could not achieve the desired results?
The reality on the pitch shows that in the opponents' equalizers,Lam River Nghe AnBoth teams were in a situation where they were forced to play on the field, the second line dropped very deep to defend but were unsuccessful. Van Viet still played well in the last defensive position and Song Lam could have even conceded more goals if Van Viet lacked courage and poor situational judgment. But Van Viet playing well alone was not enough, when the second line was wide open for the opponent, the central defense was not good enough, the two wings were exploited to the maximum... as many people have seen.
The reason for all the reasons for the failure in defense in the two matches with the above mentioned opportunities is that the force is thin and weak, unable to cope with difficult situations that require physical strength and extensive experience. In short, Song Lam Nghe An is completely not/not strong enough to adjust the tempo of the match, force the opponent to play their way, make the opponent helpless in all directions of attack, and be able to predict all the tricks that the opponent sets up...
Therefore, Mr. Phan Nhu Thuat spoke directly about the story of adding more players to have a chance to win, to avoid the current bottom of the table. That means spending money to "buy" positions that do not meet the requirements, especially the defense line, including the holding midfielder, the requirements for the striker when playing deep in defense, the necessary versatility of all positions on the field, the role of controlling the rhythm, regulating the game of a certain star.
It is not difficult for experts, media and fans to recognize the youngest positions in the current Song Lam Nghe An squad and hope for a solid framework, a backbone for the team consisting of foreign players or naturalized players or overseas Vietnamese players?
Not to mention, in the current youth squad of Song Lam, reality shows that only a few players basically meet the requirements like Quang Vinh or Nguyen Hoang, the rest have to strive a lot to reach the highest state, including Xuan Tien, Van Cuong, Nam Hai...
Obviously, if the team has the right strength, whether playing active or passive defense, the team can still "cut" the high ball situations, block the classic sideline moves, fill the gaps in the second line, block the near and far corners where the opponent can attack. Only then, Song Lam Nghe An can preserve the fragile score, even have the opportunity to counterattack when the opponent is drunk or countless opportunities, situations that cannot be predicted.
It is certainly not easy to fully implement the requirements of the weak position mentioned above, but if everything is still at a standstill, no matter how hard you try, the coaching staff will only shake their heads in dismay after each goal and loss? Don't let the situation of "going around and around" happen like this over time.Phan Nhu Thuatthen it will go to Anh Tuan and then return to Nhu Thuat and who knows, maybe people will call Huy Hoang back? Or like a vague guess in the not too distant future about the merger of 2 teams with the same old name as Song Lam Nghe Tinh and fans will see a not so bad team of V.League with a seasoned coaching staff, top domestic and foreign players, Vinh stadium from cold back to hot like the time of the fire pan?
But no matter what happens, while waiting and hoping for others, for reinforcements, the coaching staff and players of Song Lam Nghe An must work hard to improve their physical strength. We cannot let a player play as a starter but only play for 45 minutes, or even 65 minutes, then be replaced. If they play longer, they basically have to walk, lie on the field, and then be carried off on a stretcher.
It must also be said that the will to overcome difficulties is not the strong point of the current youth squad. After the generation of Xuan Tien and Van Cuong who won the U17 championship, the Song Lam academy has not introduced any promising players, but only a few individuals such as Nguyen Hoang, Long Vu, Quang Vinh or Trong Tuan.
Unfortunately, these are young talents who can play in the youth ranks, then are hastily promoted to the first team without going through a systematic process, having time to verify as they have done before and considering it an immutable principle. In the case of following the right script, Trong Tuan once failed to bring Bac Ninh to the First Division, a series of other factors also failed in the Kon Tum squad, all showing that the young factors of Song Lam are currently not the best players of the same generation or the most promising in Vietnamese football. In fact, the past 9 rounds are the clearest proof of the ability of this young generation. Of course, it must be admitted that, if the squad had more senior domestic and foreign players who played better, then Nguyen Hoang or Long Vu would have done what young players Ngoc My (Dong A Thanh Hoa) or Van Truong (Hanoi FC) did, to contribute to the overall success of the team.
That is to say, if Song Lam Nghe An solves the problem of force, so that when they meet opponents of equal weight and weight, they can maintain the score for a win, they will have a comfortable and confident mentality to seek better things, even against opponents in the rich and ambitious group. At that time, strength is multiplied from many sides, the audience will come to the stadium in larger numbers, luck and effort will accompany, the team will truly return to being itself as it once was.
Specifically, the key is to adjust the tempo of every match as desired, which means "mastering" the game. This seems simple, everyone knows, but at present for Song Lam Nghe An it is something beyond their reach, causing them to struggle in a series of draws and losses full of disappointment and regret. The two months of the break now is the time to change, to redo what has not been done before, with this important key./.
