SLNA: Who will play instead of Phan Van Duc?
(Baonghean.vn) - The Nghe An team traveled to Quang Ninh without the presence of the midfielder born in 1996. The absence of Duc "tiger" is a difficult problem for coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his colleagues.
The importance of Phan Van Duc to SLNA in recent times is indisputable. In V.League 2018, the player from Yen Thanh scored 9 goals after 19 appearances for the Nghe An team. Duc "cot" is one of the players who contributed the most to the 4th place achievement of coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team in the V.League arena last season.

Therefore, the absence of the player wearing the number 20 shirt in the upcoming match against Than Quang Ninh will significantly affect the strength of SLNA. The task now for coach Nguyen Duc Thang is to quickly find a suitable face to take over the left wing midfielder position left by Phan Van Duc. With the current force in hand, it is likely that the SLNA coaching staff will arrange for Le The Cuong to play instead of Duc "cot". Simply put, the player born in 1990 has a strong point in playing in the left wing midfielder position.

Remember in the final stage of the 2018 season, after Phan Van Duc was injured, Le The Cuong was chosen by coach Nguyen Duc Thang to play in the left wing position of SLNA. Not letting down the coaching staff's trust, the midfielder from Ha Tinh played quite impressively, contributing to helping SLNA achieve positive results. Typically, the double goal helped the Nghe team defeat SHB Da Nang with a score of 3 - 1, in round 22 of V.League 2018.

It is known that at the present time, Le The Cuong is in perfect physical condition. Almost certainly, the 29-year-old player will be on the field from the start in the match against Than Quang Ninh on the afternoon of March 2 at Cua Ong Stadium. Of course, Le The Cuong will play in the left wing position, replacing Phan Van Duc. In addition to Le The Cuong, the SLNA coaching staff can also use Cao Xuan Thang or Nguyen Quang Tinh./.
